What makes your tech brand different to your competitors? Is it your vision, your values, your culture, your history? Perhaps it’s your products, your process, your people, your technology.
Your verbal identity is an expression of that difference. It’s the way you communicate your tech products and services. It’s the emotional tone underpinning all you say – from straplines and social posts to user stories and UX writing.
The way you speak embodies your brand values, shaping your internal culture through every interaction.
It could be quirky, cocky or caring. It could be gentle, bold or daring. Every brand has a different way of communicating, which frames how everyone sees what they do.
Your tone should be one that only you can own. Finding your unique personality is vital to helping you shine brighter than the rest. And we’re here to help you shine.
It’s not just what you say that wins people over. How you say it makes all the difference. Without a unique verbal identity, you’ll just blend in with the other tech brands in your space.
It’s not about standing out for the sake of it – that’s the brand equivalent of a teenage strop. It’s about taking the elements that make up your brand’s personality and translating them into a tone that hits home with your target audience. Talking about tech in a way only you can.
And doing it consistently. On any platform. You can’t adopt a new tone to be down with the kids, just because you’re on Insta. It’ll just sound… off.
Craft a unique, consistent verbal identity and you’ll be rewarded with brand loyalty.
Because the results go well beyond engagement rates and sharing metrics. When your people confidently communicate on your brand’s behalf, using a consistent verbal identity, something happens. Your brand is remembered, you build connections, you nurture relationships.
Even beyond marketing, copywriting defines how your own people see your business. Because your tone isn’t just a branding tool – it’s the language your brand communicates in. It’s the way you speak to your people, the way they speak to each other and the cornerstone of your company culture.
When all your comms work together in a seamless flow, you get known not just for your offering, but for your identity. And given the emotions driving every buying decision, that’s massive. Especially for a ‘seemingly’ cold, features-focused tech company.
