If our brand were a person, this is what they would sound like.

Our voice is vibrant, smart, bold, and authentic. We’re confident, yet down-to-earth and personal. We shouldn’t sound institutional, stilted, or overly authoritative. We want to speak clearly, simply, and see the world through our audiences’ eyes, not ours.
