Comment pouvez-vous développer un ton de voix pour votre marque sur les médias sociaux?

I've worked across 5 brands and here's what I think helps :- - Your audience persona doesn't matter. Your brand persona does. After all, it is a human reading your post on the other side. I'm sure they'd enjoy a little bit of everything ! - Consistency. You nail the tone across communication mediums- be it a blog, social media post or a press release. Only samesies. No compromise. - Get personal. Address what your TG is looking for. In any way. Hit the bull's eye especially in the first few lines of your post. That makes fingers scroll further. - Design. Always complement your post with a standard, great brand design. And lastly, ensure you nail your brand guidelines before you start swagging the social media world !

To develop a tone of voice for your brand on social media, start by defining your brand's personality and values. Consider your target audience and their preferences. Determine the desired tone, whether it's friendly, professional, humorous, or authoritative. Create a style guide outlining guidelines for language, vocabulary, and writing style. Consistently apply your tone across all social media channels. Stay true to your brand's identity and maintain authenticity in your communication. Regularly evaluate and refine your tone based on audience feedback and engagement.

The more you know about your target audience, the better you can tailor your brand's tone of voice to speak directly to them. It's about creating a sense of connection and familiarity, where your audience feels that your brand understands them on a personal level. This understanding not only helps you craft compelling social media content but also builds trust and loyalty over time.

Having specific brand values can better align you with the people you work with. When you’re defining your brand values, don’t just clump together a bunch of synonyms. Have a definition that exemplifies your value and separates you from your competitors. If one of your values is authenticity, mention something about how your business is a people-first operation; let your customers know they’ll be working with people like themselves and not AI-generated automations or bots. If one of your values is peak customer satisfaction, mention how you don’t leave problems unattended to and how your company boasts a quick turnaround time for customer service-related issues.

I've found it useful to create a word chart for the brand at the end of such a brand voice-tone exercise. This can be displayed visually or digital cheatsheets with this and top phrases that work for the brand can be shared with all team members. Over time, this becomes coded into the brand communication seamlessly.

The same brand with a documented brand voice-tone may sound a bit different on different platforms. This is possible and also important. For instance, the corporate post on LinkedIn vs a user-contest or campaign on Instagram may sound tonally different even while brand voice is the same. This nuance is often missing and the brands who get it right are the ones who've internalised customer / TG behaviour on each platform.
