1. Brand Voice: Apni Pehchaan Banaiye!

Think of your brand as a person. It can embody quirky nature, boldness, soft-spoken style or strong authority. This is your brand voice. It's the distinctive personality that shines through in all interactions.

Consistency is King (or Queen)! Whether you're chatting on Instagram or drafting a formal email, your tone should feel familiar and consistent. Think of your brand voice as a friend people can count on – always showing up the same way!

Why does it matter: Ever observe how all those popular brands out there are instantly recognizable? It's not just about their logotype or color scheme; it's their voice! The way they "speak" to their audience sticks with you because it's consistent, loud, and clear, and catches your attention somehow.

 

2. Voice vs. Tone: Yeh Farq Hai Dono Mein!

Now that you have your voice sorted, what about the tone? It's like this:

Voice is what your brand is. It's constant and consistent. Tone fluctuates like in a mood swing-according to the message, context, or platform

For example, discussing a clearance sale differs from handling a product recall. It's fun. Another is serious. One is light. The other is sensitive. Use the same voice. But the tone needs to be different!

 

3. Steps to Define Your Brand Voice: Sab Kuch Yahi Se Shuru Hota Hai!

Let's break it down into small steps so you can create a unique brand voice that will sound memorable to everyone.

• Step 1: Check Your Brand's Mission What's all this, and what are you all about? What's your mission? Your voice should reflect that. If the brand is about empowerment, the voice should confidently and positively sound. Take a page from MailChimp's playbook-they're there to help small businesses grow, so their voice is warm and encouraging.
• Step 2: Audit Your Content Make sure all your older stuff looks and feels like what you want it to look and feel. If your social media posts are working, try to discern why they work. Possibly it's the playful, relatable voice you're using. Your content has to have a consistent feel throughout.
• Step 3: Know Your Audience Who are you talking to? Seriously, take the time to get to know your audience – their likes and dislikes, their quirks and obsessions. If they love a bit of sass or humor, weave that into your brand voice. The more you sound like "their kind of people," the deeper the connection is gonna be.

 

4. The ‘We’re This, Not That’ Game: Tumhara Style Kya Hai?

This exercise enables you to define what your brand is and what it's not! Fill in the blanks.

• “We’re fun, but not childish.”
• “We’re innovative, but not over-complicated.”
• “We’re professional, but not boring.”

This gives you a clear idea of what your brand voice should and shouldn’t be. It’s like knowing the dos and don’ts of your brand’s personality.

 

5. Make a Brand Voice Chart: Sab Kuch Ek Jagah!

Now that you have the core traits of your brand, it's time to put it all together – in one place: your brand voice chart. It'll be your bible to ensure everyone on your team is singing out of the same hymnbook.

Trait: Friendly

Description: We’re warm and approachable.

Dos: Use casual language, engage directly with readers.

Don’ts: Don’t use formal or technical jargon.

In this manner, whether one is writing an Instagram caption or an email newsletter, the brand voice is consistent across the board.

Consistency is your best friend. Create a very simple and clear brand guideline set that your whole team can use-so everybody shares the same voice, be it your social media manager or the CEO writing an email back to someone

7. Applying the Right Tone: Har Baat Ka Time Aur Jaga Hoti Hai!

Remember that your tone may be different depending on the situation, but always within your voice. For instance:
