Brand Messaging

Brand Messaging: Brand Voice

Without defined voice principles, every writer on a team defaults to their own instincts, and a brand starts sounding like whoever wrote the last email. Customers notice the inconsistency even when they can't name it.

FAQ

Before we get started.

Brand voice focuses on how the brand sounds in writing. Brand guidelines cover the full visual and verbal system together.

Can multiple writers on our team use this consistently?

That's the goal: clear enough rules that different writers land in the same voice.
