Brand Values

• •Heritage & Tradition
• •Quality Craftsmanship
• •Authenticity
• •Style & Identity
• •Storytelling & Connection
• •Sustainability (emerging)

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Heritage: Consistently weave in references to 1967, London origins, Mod culture, and the brand's legacy in copy. Use terms like "iconic," "classic," "heritage," and "authentic."
• •Highlight Quality and Craftsmanship: Use descriptive language that emphasizes the superior materials, attention to detail, and "Made in England" aspect where applicable. Words like "premium," "meticulous," "finest," and "crafted" can be effective.
• •Speak to the "Style Conscious": Address the audience as individuals who appreciate style, music, and subculture. The tone should be knowing and slightly sophisticated, but still accessible.
• •Tell a Story: Frame products not just as items, but as part of a larger narrative of personal style, memories, and cultural scenes. Encourage the idea that wearing Merc is an experience.
• •Maintain a British Voice (subtly): While a global brand, a subtle nod to its British roots in language or phrasing (without being overly colloquial or alienating to international audiences) can reinforce authenticity. This might be through specific cultural references (where appropriate and understood) or a generally polished yet spirited tone. Ensure consistency in spelling (e.g., "colour" vs. "color" if sticking to British English).

Social Perception

An iconic, high-quality British heritage brand with strong ties to Mod culture and music.
