•The voice of The Idle Man is there to convey the brand message to our customers, as well as entice new participants to our proposition
•The brand should be seen as a trusted friend, within the often fickle arena of fashion. Content should seem genuine, easily digestable and not overtly commercial.
•We know that our target market are busy with a short attention span so editorial should be easily scannable and highly visual.
•We aim to start and continue a conversation as oppose to dictate, however, this doesn’t imply a lack of authority. We need to be seen as a place that provides information worth knowing
•If our users are engaged, they will buy.
