What is brand voice?

Also called tone of voice.

Brand voice is the consistent personality in how a business writes and speaks, such as warm and casual or precise and formal, across all its posts and messages.

Why it matters

A recognisable voice makes posts feel like they come from the same business, wherever people see them. Writing it down also lets anyone on the team, or a tool, write in it.

Example

A children's bookshop is playful and uses emoji; a law firm is plain, calm and never uses slang.
