The #1 place a brand’s voice should not live is in your head. Unfortunately, this catastrophic method is used far too often. It turns brand voice into a subjective, unwritten “rule set” built on memory, gut feel, and whoever is in the room.
Real brand voice isn’t a vibe. It’s built from the VoiceDNA already embedded in everything your brand has produced up to this point in time—the language you repeat, the rhythms you default to, the stance you take, and the ways you persuade.
It’s a defined system: patterns, boundaries, and measurable signals that make your content feel unmistakably “you,” even when different people (or AI) create it.
