You're debating tone with colleagues for a writing piece. How do you find the right balance?

Hear out your colleagues, then consider the theme of the content piece and then word your pieces accordingly. Revert to your team to review and incorporate any helpful tips they may share.

To find the right balance when debating tone with colleagues: 1. **Clarify the Purpose**: Align on the goal of the piece—whether it's informative, persuasive, or conversational. 2. **Know the Audience**: Discuss who the readers are and what tone will best resonate with them. 3. **Test Samples**: Write a few variations and review them together to see which tone fits the best. 4. **Compromise**: Blend different suggestions to create a tone that satisfies both the brand and audience needs while maintaining authenticity. 5. **Stick to Brand Voice**: Ensure any tone aligns with the established brand guidelines for consistency.

1. Merge tones, blend through paragraphs or pages 2. Ask AI 3. Search the web about the proper tone for the topic 4. Listen to each other's point of view and decide

Collaborating on a writing piece can be tough when you have unique voices and tone. Decide on the audience and goals for the piece together, and discuss the best tone to serve both. Then pass the piece (or sections of it) back and forth as you write to achieve a cohesive tone.

Audience first! If you think you have figured out the tone and it is relevant, talk to the team. There is no rocket science here.
