Best Practices

• •Define and Document Your Voice: Create a clear brand voice guide that outlines key characteristics (e.g., "minimalist, confident, urban, inclusive"), approved vocabulary, and tones to avoid. This ensures everyone writing for the brand is aligned.
• •Prioritize Clarity and Simplicity: Reflect the "minimalist" value in the language itself. Use clear, concise sentences. Avoid jargon or overly trendy slang that can quickly date the brand or alienate a broader audience.
• •Infuse Local Identity Authentically: If "Hamburg lifestyle" is key, weave in subtle, authentic references or imagery that resonate with that identity, rather than generic statements. Showcase the city in a way that aligns with the minimalist and quality-focused aesthetic.
• •Emphasize "Quality" with Specifics (Show, Don't Just Tell): Instead of just saying "high quality," describe the materials, craftsmanship details, or the durability of the items. For example, "Made with 100% organic heavyweight cotton for lasting wear."
• •Foster Community Through Inclusive Language: Use inviting language. Encourage interaction with #TYCANOCREW. Make customers feel like they are part of an exclusive but welcoming group that shares the brand's values. Ensure the tone is approachable even while being "exclusive."

Social Perception

Highly Muddled: Confusion due to conflicting information online. Intended streetwear brand has a very low to non-existent perception, overshadowed by other entities.
