Best Practices

• •Speak the Language: Use automotive terminology, slang (appropriately), and inside jokes that resonate with car enthusiasts. Show you're one of them.
• •Prioritize Passion: Let the genuine love for cars shine through in every piece of copy. Enthusiasm is contagious.
• •Foster Community: Frame messaging around shared experiences, identity, and belonging. Use "we," "us," and address the community directly.
• •Balance Information with Personality: While product details are important, inject humor, relatability, or a touch of edginess to keep the brand voice distinct.
• •Stay Visually Consistent with Tone: Ensure the copy complements the visuals. If the image is exciting and dynamic, the copy should match that energy. If it's a detailed product shot, the copy can be slightly more focused but still passionate.
