So, how do we create a Tone of Voice? It's all about aligning the ToV with your brand's values, personality, and audience expectations. Here's a quick breakdown:

1. Start with brand values: your ToV should reflect what your brand stands for. Are you about innovation, reliability, or maybe fun and adventure;
2. Understand your audience: dive deep into who you're speaking to—their needs, values, and communication style;
3. Define brand personality: is your brand formal, casual, playful, or authoritative? Decide on a few key traits to guide your tone;
4. Choose a communication style: will you use humor? Do you address your audience directly, maybe even using 'you' to make it personal? These choices shape how relatable and authentic your voice feels;
5. Set clear guidelines: outline your tone dos and don'ts. Consistency is key.
