Imagine your brand is the protagonist of its own story—complete with a distinct personality, unique traits, and core values that draw your audience in. Is your brand the daring hero or the wise mentor? Whatever its role, that specific voice must be clear in every interaction, from website copy to Instagram posts.
Trust is essential.
81% of consumers need to trust a brand before they'll buy.
If your brand's voice shifts too much between platforms, your audience might feel like they're meeting different characters each time, rather than the one they connected with. This is where the power of a consistent narrative comes into play.
Brand voice is a company's unique personality and tone used in its communications to create a distinct identity that resonates with its audience.
For instance, you might see a fun and playful brand voice from companies like Disney or Ben & Jerry’s, where humor and lighthearted language are used to engage their audience. Conversely, industries such as finance or law often adopt a professional and authoritative voice—think Goldman Sachs or The New York Times—which rely on formal, clear, and expert language. Then there's the friendly and empathetic approach, common for customer-centric businesses like Spotify or Airbnb, characterized by a conversational and supportive tone.
Brand voice is your consistent, underlying personality (like being friendly or professional).
Tone is how that voice adapts emotionally for specific situations (using an urgent or celebratory tone).
Voice is permanent; tone is flexible.
Brand voice focuses on how you say things—your style and personality.
Brand messaging focuses on what you say—your core values and key points.
Voice builds identity; messaging conveys specific information and can change with campaigns.
