Brand Tone

Edgy & Rebellious, Confident & Bold, Informal & Direct, Visually Driven

Brand Values

• •Individuality & Self-Expression
• •Street Culture & Urban Aesthetics
• •Quality & Style
• •Cultural Provocation/Playfulness

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Voice Bible": Create an internal document that explicitly defines the brand's tone (e.g., edgy, confident, informal), key terminology to use (and avoid), and the personality traits the brand embodies. This ensures anyone writing copy is aligned.
• •Embrace Visual Storytelling in Text: Let the bold visual identity of the brand inspire the copy. Use strong verbs, vivid adjectives, and a cadence that reflects the energy of the designs. If the visuals are provocative, the copy can share that edge.
• •Stay Authentic to Streetwear Culture: Use language and references that resonate authentically with the streetwear audience. This doesn't mean overusing slang but understanding the nuances of how this community communicates. Social listening can be key here.
• •Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure the tone is consistent whether it's a social media caption, website copy, email newsletter, or customer service interaction. A customer should feel the same brand personality at every touchpoint.
• •Focus on "The Why" (Implicitly or Explicitly): While not overtly preachy, copywriting can hint at the "why" behind the brand – the desire for self-expression, the celebration of a certain aesthetic, or the spirit of non-conformity. This builds a deeper connection beyond just the product.
