Brand Values

• •Quality Craftsmanship
• •Honest Value
• •Timeless Style
• •Customer-Centricity
• •Integrity/Moral Code

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the defined tone (aspirational yet accessible, confident, sophisticated, direct, helpful), key messages, value propositions, and specific words/phrases to use or avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Prioritize "Timeless Quality" and "Honest Value": These core themes should consistently underpin messaging. Whether describing a product, telling the brand story, or offering style advice, highlight how Moral Code delivers on both fronts.
• •Speak to the Style-Conscious but Practical Man: Use language that resonates with someone who appreciates good design and quality but is also discerning about value and versatility. Avoid overly trendy jargon or overly casual slang. Maintain a level of sophistication.
• •Be Confident, Not Arrogant: Showcase expertise in materials and craftsmanship with confidence, but ensure the tone remains approachable and focused on the customer's benefit rather than just self-praise. The "honest value" proposition helps ground this.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copy's tone aligns with the visual presentation (clean, high-quality imagery, sophisticated design). A mismatch can confuse the audience. For example, highly casual copy with very formal imagery would feel off, and vice-versa.

Social Perception

Positive Initial Perception, Value-Conscious Choice, Solid Entry-Level Option, Good for Basics/Wardrobe Staples, Awareness Dependent on Niche.
