Brand Voice

Copy & Creative
the concept

The consistent personality a brand uses in words across every touchpoint: its vocabulary, tone, rhythm and point of view. Tone can flex by situation; the voice stays recognizably the same.

When to use

When writing brand guidelines, onboarding writers or AI tools, launching new channels, and whenever copy from different teams sounds like different companies.

Mailchimp's plain-spoken, friendly style guide; Liquid Death's deadpan irreverence; a law firm that is calm, direct and jargon-free in every email and invoice.

A high-value play for differentiation in crowded categories. Flagged when the voice exists in a PDF but not in the support emails, chatbot or invoices.
