• •Integrity & Humility

Best Practices

• •Anchor in Core Values: Every piece of copy should subtly or overtly reflect the core values of Faith, Family, and Freedom. Before writing, ask: "How does this connect back to what we stand for?"
• •Use Empowering & Active Language: Employ strong verbs and direct address. Focus on words that inspire action, courage, and responsibility (e.g., "stand," "defend," "lead," "equip," "live boldly").
• •Maintain the Duality: Consistently balance the "Dangerous" (strength, preparedness, conviction) with the "Good" (humility, integrity, compassion, faith-led). Avoid letting one overshadow the other.
• •Speak Directly to Your Tribe: Understand and use language that resonates with the target audience of principled, faith-driven men who value their role as protectors and leaders.
• •Develop a "Voice Guide": Create an internal document that outlines approved terminology, phrases to embody, phrases to avoid, and examples of on-brand copy. This ensures consistency across all writers and platforms. For DBG, this would include key biblical allusions (like the Lion of Judah) and patriotic/freedom-centric phrasing.

Social Perception

The brand name itself, "Dangerous But Good," is provocative and memorable. It has the potential to be intriguing or polarizing depending on individual interpretation before understanding the brand's faith-based mission. The strong, principled, and faith-centric messaging means the brand will resonate deeply with those who share its values, while potentially alienating those who do not.
