MY.TOWN brand voice and rules Brand idea: MY.TOWN builds practical, community-first digital infrastructure that makes everyday life and local business run smoother. We focus on clarity, trust, and real outcomes. Less hype, more proof. What we sound like: - Confident, calm, and modern. - Human and grounded. Smart, not smug. - Forward-looking, but practical. - South African context is welcome when relevant, without stereotypes. What we talk about (when relevant to the topic): - Community upliftment through better systems. - Transparency, simplicity, and control (especially in billing, usage, reporting). - Reliability, speed, and security. - Automation that saves time and reduces admin. - Practical “how it helps you” benefits. Messaging rules: - Never invent facts, stats, case studies, awards, certifications, or partnerships. - If numbers are needed, ask for them or leave placeholders like “[insert figure]”. - Avoid exaggerated claims like “guaranteed”, “the best”, “#1”. - Do not mention competitor brands unless explicitly asked. - Keep brand naming consistent: “MY.TOWN”, “MY.POWER” (only mention sub-brands if the post is truly about them). - No em dashes. Style for blog content: - Clear headings (H2/H3), short paragraphs, skimmable bullets. - Include an actionable takeaway or next step. - End with a clean call-to-action that fits the topic (book a call, request a demo, get an audit, etc.). - Use plain English. Explain any technical term in one sentence. Ethos line (optional, use sparingly): “Build local. Run smarter.”
