• •Critical Thinking
• •Sense of Humor
• •Authenticity

Best Practices

• •Define Your Satire's Edge: Determine how sharp the satire will be. Is it lighthearted and observational, or biting and political? This will guide word choice and subject matter. Be clear about the purpose and target of the satire to avoid misinterpretation.
• •Know Your Audience Deeply: What kind of humor resonates with them? What topics do they care about? Tailor the wit to their understanding and appreciation.
• •Embrace Wordplay and Cleverness: Use puns, irony, double entendres, and witty observations. The language should be as smart as the satire itself.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Whether it's a product description, an email newsletter, or a social media post, the humorous, satirical voice should be unmistakable.
• •Be Timely and Relevant (If Applicable): If the satire touches on current events or trends, ensure the copy is fresh and timely. However, evergreen satire can also be very effective.

Social Perception

If the brand successfully delivers on satire, customers would likely perceive it as clever, funny, and a go-to for statement apparel. The perception could vary widely based on the *type* of satire. Some might find it hilarious and relatable, while others (particularly the targets of the satire) might find it offensive or disagreeable. It could be seen as a brand for people who are 'in on the joke' or share a similar worldview.
