Brand Tone

Nostalgic & Appreciative, Subtle & In-the-know, Enthusiast-driven & Passionate, Modern & Trendy

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Quality
• •Community/Belonging
• •Subtlety & Style
• •Creativity & Uniqueness

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your tone (e.g., nostalgic, subtle, witty, enthusiastic), including a "do's and don'ts" list and examples of phrases/words that fit (and don't fit) the brand.
• •Understand Your Audience Deeply: Immerse yourself in the anime and pop culture communities your brand targets. Use their slang (appropriately and not excessively), understand their inside jokes, and know what resonates with them. This ensures authenticity.
• •Prioritize "Show, Don't Just Tell" with Subtlety: Instead of saying "This is an anime t-shirt," describe the subtle design element and the feeling or reference it evokes, letting the target audience connect the dots.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Platforms: Whether it's a product description, an Instagram caption, a Facebook ad, or customer service interaction, the tone should feel like it's coming from the same brand personality.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically review your copy against your brand voice guide. Get feedback from your target audience if possible. Language and trends evolve, so ensure your tone remains relevant and engaging without losing its core identity.

Social Perception

The target audience (anime and pop culture fans who appreciate subtle designs and streetwear) likely perceives the brand as a niche provider catering to their specific tastes.
