How have you successfully shifted a brand's tone to meet client expectations?

Successfully shifting a brand’s tone begins with understanding why the change is needed and identifying key objectives beyond addressing pain points. This involves analyzing the existing tone to determine what works well and what should be retained, ensuring continuity in brand identity. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I assess whether a subtle shift or a more significant rebrand is necessary. Surveys and data collection provide valuable insights, which I use to present tailored options to stakeholders. Subsequent meetings allow us to refine the strategy, including practical examples to guide the rebrand’s implementation effectively.

Here’s how I will approach the challenge: -My first step is always to ask why. Is this about connecting with a new audience, staying competitive, or reflecting a change in the brand’s goals? -Next, I dive into market trends and analyze the industry landscape. This helps me figure out how the change can be implemented effectively and how it might impact the brand. -A pilot test run is my go-to strategy. This helps us see how the new tone resonates with the audience while keeping an eye on analytics to track its impact. -Once we’re both confident and happy with the changes, it’s time to roll out the new tone across all platforms. -Finally, I organize a company-wide session to ensure everyone is aligned with the updated tone and vision.

First, I will listen carefully about the client's idea to really understand what tone they want. Second, I will create few samples about it. Third, get the feedback and make some adjustments it needed. Throughout, I will make sure that the new tone is still align will their brand's identity.

I would have a discovery meeting with my client to listen to the voice and a brand tone desired. I would probe for examples and possibly have a brand tone quiz for him to take if that made the process easier. I would also offer tools to solidify the brand tone as options. There are AI Brand Voice generators such as Hoppy Copy. Once I learned concrete examples from my client, I'd put those parameters, adjectives and examples into a brand guideline book for all sales and marketing people to follow. This would help the organization stay on brand as people advanced or moved into different roles.

The first step is to understand the reason behind the change, whether it’s to appeal to a new audience or shift the brand’s identity. From there, I would revisit the brand’s core story—its mission, values, and vision—and explore how the new tone can reflect these elements authentically. To help the client visualize the shift, I would create tone prototypes by rewriting content in both the current and proposed tones, showing how the change affects the brand’s emotional connection. Testing the new tone with a small audience and refining it based on feedback ensures it resonates effectively, and consistent communication across all channels solidifies the tone’s integration into the brand’s narrative.
