In this blog, you\u2019ll learn just how important a strong brand voice of tone is, with real-life examples from big brands, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And how you can craft your own identity to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t about boring writing tips or cliches, it’s about finding your brand’s personality<\/a> so people love your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your tone of voice is not just about the words you use, it\u2019s the actual brand personality behind your words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a clear difference between coming across as a relatable friend, or a boring corporate robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what Nike did:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust Do It\u201d – It\u2019s short, punchy and action-driven.<\/p>\n\n\n Your tone represents who you\u2019re, and what you are actually representing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most importantly, it\u2019s how people feel when they engage with your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s be real here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a clear tone of voice, your brand is like an off-key singer, hard to connect emotionally with an audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the few reasons your brand needs it: Let\u2019s understand it with a more relatable example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine Coca-Cola sounding like a traditional car insurance ad, <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPurchase our beverages for a refreshing experience\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weird, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This happens when you don\u2019t have a strong brand tone of voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn’t like writing a random essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must do a lot of research before finding\/writing your brand voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But first, let\u2019s understand the terms voice and tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A brand’s voice<\/a> is its personality, while a brand’s tone is how it connects with an audience emotionally depending on the situation\/time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you can develop yours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, this is the most crucial step of writing your brand tone of voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should try to speak the language of your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are they professionals, parents, teens, or entrepreneurs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to understand what your audience talks about, as it will tell you about their beliefs and values, <\/p>\n\n\n\n And what kind of content they engage with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019d prefer to create a buyer persona<\/a> so you can understand their demographics, pain points and buying behavior as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s take an example of Slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slack talking to a formal corporate audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of their usual casual, friendly tone, they\u2019d sound awkward and out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your brand voice isn\u2019t documented, it doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Write it down! Include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do<\/strong>: Use contractions, write in simple language, and be conversational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t<\/strong>: Use jargon, overly formal language, or robotic phrasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all know that, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple\u2019s tone is a masterclass in simplicity and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple\u2019s tone doesn\u2019t just sell products; it sells a lifestyle of innovation and excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nike\u2019s tone is all about inspiration and action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They turn every message into a personal pep talk, pushing you to achieve your best and win in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who doesn\u2019t love the moment when they open a soda with friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not just about the drink, it\u2019s about who you share it with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s Coca-Cola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example<\/strong>: \u201cTaste the Feeling.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 It’s more than just a drink; it’s the sound of laughter, the feeling of celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s face it\u2014buying body wash isn\u2019t exactly exciting. Example<\/strong>: \u201cSmell Like a Man, Man.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 It\u2019s ridiculous yet memorable in a refreshing way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can think of Mailchimp as your office companion who translates email marketing basics while keeping the subject engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s like getting advice from a friend who\u2019s smart but never talks down to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slack feels like that one coworker who keeps things running smoothly without making a big deal about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiffany started in 1837, selling fancy goods\u2014now it defines luxury worldwide. Innocent started with a mission to make healthy drinks fun\u2014and they did it. From day one, Elon Musk has been about flipping the script on what cars\u2014and energy\u2014can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When an 81 year old named Clara Peller asked the world a legendary question: \u201cWhere\u2019s the beef?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n She was targeting skimpy hamburger patties\u2014and this boosted Wendy\u2019s revenue by 31% ($945 Million) in 1985.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wendy\u2019s doesn\u2019t just serve food\u2014they serve boldness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spotify loves millennials and Gen Z. They never forget using memes in their campaigns like they did in 2019.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever wondered about the psychology behind the AirBnb logo, here\u2019s the secret.<\/p>\n\n\nWhat is the Brand Voice of Tone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
