Also known as ‘tonality,’ the term ‘tone of voice’ refers to how a brand expresses itself in written or spoken communication. It encompasses various elements, including word choice, style, attitude, and overall demeanor in written or verbal messages. While brand personality provides the foundation for a distinctive attitude in the wording of texts, tone of voice is the fine-tuning that adjusts based on the message, target audience, and medium. A consistent tonality that aligns with the core identity helps convey a brand’s personality and values, and establishes its distinct voice.
