What is tone of voice?

Tone of voice is the consistent personality a brand's writing carries: its formality, warmth, confidence and rhythm. It is how a business sounds, independent of what it is saying.

Why it matters

Readers recognise and trust a consistent voice, and inconsistency across articles, posts and pages quietly erodes credibility, especially when content is produced by several hands or tools.

How to define it

Write down how the brand does and does not sound with real examples, and apply it everywhere content is produced, human or AI-assisted.

In Awareness Marketing: Awareness Marketing learns your brand voice from your own website and writes every article in it. See how brand voice works.
