Brand Voice Do's and Don'ts

Do's

Be Consistent

Use the same voice across all platforms and interactions. Consistency builds trust and recognition.

Stay Authentic

Your brand voice should reflect your genuine values and personality, not try to be something you're not.

Know Your Audience

Adapt your voice to resonate with your target customers while staying true to your brand.

Don'ts

Don't Copy Competitors

Your voice should be uniquely yours. Copying others makes you forgettable and inauthentic.

Don't Be Generic

Avoid bland, corporate-speak that could apply to any business. Be specific and memorable.

Don't Ignore Context

While consistency is key, adapt your tone appropriately for different situations and platforms.
