What is your voice?
Voice
• your brand personality described
in an adjective. For instance,
brands can be lively, positive,
cynical, or professional.
Voice & Tone
Essentially, there is one voice for your brand and many tones that refine that voice. Voice is a mission statement.
Tone is the application of that mission.
Tone
• a subset of your brand’s voice.
Tone adds specific flavour to your
voice based on factors like
audience, situation, and channel.
Character/persona: who does your
brand sound like?
Tone: general vibe?
Language: what kind of words do
you use in conversations?
Purpose: why are you on social
media in the first place?
Voice & Tone
Together, these four areas can help define the overall voice of your brand.
Culture
• what does your company stand
for? What makes you stand out?
How To Find Your Voice
The three C’s of a brand voice.
Community
• listening can reveal how your
community speaks and can help
you speak easier with them and to
them
Conversation
• personality and authenticity are
key here
• what do you want to add to the
conversation?
Example of Great Voice & Tone
Warby Parker: the glasses maker takes a customer-centered approach to voice and tone, involving its audience in
as many ways as possible through photos, contests, questions, and more.
