Best Practices

• •Embrace Action-Oriented Language: Use strong verbs and dynamic phrasing that reflect the energy of skate culture and action sports. (e.g., "unleash," "roll," "drop," "engineered," "fueling").
• •Stay Authentic to Skate Roots: Even when addressing a broader lifestyle audience, weave in references to the brand's heritage and the values of skateboarding (e.g., resilience, individuality, creativity).
• •Keep it Bold and Confident, but Accessible: The tone should be assertive and self-assured without being alienating. Focus on empowerment and self-expression.
• •Be Direct and Clear, Especially for Product Information: While the overall tone is energetic, product descriptions and calls to action should be easy to understand, highlighting key features and benefits concisely.
• •Incorporate a Sense of Community (where appropriate): Use language that invites engagement and makes customers feel part of the DC brand and the broader street/skate culture, especially on social media. Encourage sharing and tagging.
