Valores de Marca

• •Humor & Entertainment: Providing a source of laughter and amusement for the boating community.
• •Community: Fostering a sense of camaraderie among boaters through shared experiences (even if those experiences are fails).
• •Authenticity: Showcasing real-life boating, warts and all, rather than an idealized version.
• •Learning (Indirectly): While primarily for entertainment, the content often serves as a visual lesson of "what not to do," indirectly promoting safer boating practices by highlighting mistakes.
• •Engagement: Valuing interaction and contributions from their audience (UGC is key).

Mejores Prácticas

• •Embrace Imperfection & Humor: Always lean into the funny side of boating mishaps. Use sarcasm, wit, and relatable (often self-deprecating) humor. The tone should never be genuinely mean-spirited but rather a shared chuckle.
• •Use Community Language: Incorporate boating slang, inside jokes that have developed within the TQC community, and a generally informal, conversational style. Address the audience directly ("You," "Your crew").
• •Prioritize User-Generated Content (UGC) Themes: Even in product descriptions or ads, reference the types of content the brand is known for (e.g., docking fails, forgetting the drain plug, interesting launch ramp techniques). This keeps the brand's core identity at the forefront.
• •Keep it Concise & Punchy: Especially for social media, get to the humorous point quickly. Short, witty captions or headlines are more effective. Even longer-form content should maintain an engaging, brisk pace.
• •Be Authentic & Relatable, Not Preachy: While the content often shows what *not* to do, the primary goal is entertainment, not formal instruction. The "lesson" is implied. Avoid a condescending or overly critical tone; it's about laughing *with* (or at the situation), not shaming individuals excessively. The community aspect is key.
