53% of businesses rely on content marketing as a branding strategy. But any digital marketing strategy first needs the basics cleared- Identification of a voice and tone to begin with.
So, what exactly is the difference between a brand ‘Voice’ and ‘Tone’, and how is it the first thing to be sorted out in a digital marketing plan?
VOICE (For a unified brand image)
Brand voice is your brand’s personality. It’s consistent, memorable, and accelerates a long-lasting connection with your target audience. For example, Netflix’s ‘Netflix and chill’ has gone beyond just a chill personality to actually create that kind of lifestyle for everyone. Voice is the reason why you remember brands like Porsche for its sophistication and Coca-Cola for sharing happiness. Professional marketers can help you identify a brand voice and tone so that your brand communication is perceived consistently to your target customers and get hooked in their minds.
TONE (Can’t play hit or miss in this one)
Unlike brand voice, the tone is something that gets and needs to be customized according to the situation. Branding goes beyond your logo to the way your messages are delivered for maintaining consistency and relevancy as per the situation. For example, Zomato has a clever way to stay relevant and relatable with their audience with a mix of quirky posts and some with a serious tone for addressing concerns. Modulating your tone as per your brand’s voice can help create meaningful connections and 62% of buyers say that it can determine a long-term relationship with a company. A successful social media marketing strategy begins with pinning down the brand voice and tone for increasing meaningfulness with customers.
