What we help you with
To give your brand a voice, we first need to know what makes it tick. To do this, we sit down together in a workshop and develop your very own brand voice.
A brand voice (or Brand Voice) conveys your brand’s personality and communication style on a linguistic level. Unlike brand tonality, which can vary slightly depending on the situation, brand voice always remains the same.
Together we develop a tone-of-voice that exemplifies the tonality of your brand for different examples of use and situations. This ensures that your brand always hits the right note.

In detail
The power of words
The brand voice provides a clear positioning advantage in visually saturated markets and controls the perception of the brand. A voice makes brands lifelike, approachable and at best creates an unmistakable recognition value.
How do you want your brand to look to others? All this is conveyed by the brand voice, whether it is more professional, playful, cheeky, young or conservative.
A relationship without communication = no relationship.
The brand voice conveys both the values and the philosophy of a company. In short: the brand personality.
Word choice and communication style are crucial for this, but usually remain stringent. The tone of voice, on the other hand, can vary slightly depending on the situation without deviating from the company’s values and beliefs.
Together we develop a tone-of-voice and a brand voice that stands out among the competition, reaches your target audience and becomes a driver of success.
“We ourselves tend to remember people with strong personalities. This is just as true for brands: a clear voice makes it possible to stand out. Paired with exciting storytelling, this turns a brand into a love brand.”
Lisa Steinhoff, Editor and Copywriter

FAQ
Any questions?
A brand voice represents the brand personality on a linguistic level and thus, in addition to the design on a visual level, contributes significantly to the perception of brands.
A brand voice represents a brand’s very own identity and ensures that people can identify with it and its values. Once established, brand voice makes marketing more cost-effective: When brands already have a strong identity, less explanation is needed.
In order to be able to capture your brand tonality in a tone-of-voice, you first have to ask yourself what, to whom, how, why you want to tell or convey. Once we know the target group and agree on how the individual brand personality should appear, the next step is to evaluate which words and adjectives accurately express that. We also determine which channels we play on and which tonality makes sense in each case. Because: Brands strike a different tone on LinkedIn than on TikTok, for example.
