Our brand personality
When someone has a great personality, we are naturally drawn to them. When it comes to brand, personality works in the same way.
Personality is an important part of our brand because it's what makes us unique. It's how we behave, how we present ourselves, and how we want the world to view us. Just as a person's personality might influence their fashion or lifestyle choices, ours informs our use of colour, type, imagery, subject matter and tone of voice.
But it goes beyond just our communications. Our distinctive personality traits, or 'tonal principles' should come across in everything we do. They should inform our strategic decisions, amplify our values and solidify our reputation.
Our tonal principles
