Table of Contents

Strong brand voice examples make an abstract idea concrete: they show exactly how personality turns into words. The 18 examples below span consumer, B2B, and service brands, each an invented company with a distinct voice, a sample line, and the lesson your agency can borrow. Use them to inspire your own brand voice, then define it, document it, and hold it steady.

How to use these brand voice examples

A brand voice is the fixed personality behind everything a company writes: its traits, its word choices, its point of view. As you read these examples of brand voice, look past the clever lines to the pattern underneath; that pattern is the voice. If you are still defining the foundation, our guide to what brand voice is explains how the pieces fit together, and for the tonal layer, our 25 tone of voice examples show the same principle applied to tone.

How to define your own brand voice

These examples inspire; defining your own takes a repeatable process. Start from the brand’s best existing content and find the patterns, choose three or four sharp personality traits, set clear word rules, and capture before-and-after examples so writers can copy the pattern. Our guide to writing brand voice guidelines your team will use walks through each step, so the voice you admire in others becomes one your team can actually produce.

Keeping your brand voice consistent

A defined voice still drifts if no one holds it. When copy starts sounding like whoever wrote it, those are the early signs a client’s content has gone off-brand. Claritar keeps voice consistent by saving each client’s voice once and scoring every draft against it from 0 to 100, flagging off-brand lines and returning an on-brand rewrite. You can see how the scoring works and check any piece of content against a saved voice in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

What is a brand voice example?

A brand voice example shows how a specific company expresses its personality in writing, the traits, word choices, and point of view that make its content recognizable. Comparing several examples reveals that voice is a deliberate, consistent choice rather than a matter of individual style.

What are good examples of brand voice?

Good brand voice examples are consistent and distinct: an honest, hype-free consumer brand; a clear, jargon-free software brand; a calm, human service brand. The strongest examples sound unmistakably like themselves across every channel, which is what makes them worth learning from.

How do I find brand voice examples for my business?

Look at brands in and outside your category whose writing you recognize instantly, then identify the traits behind the words. Adapt the pattern, not the wording, to fit your own personality and audience, and document it so your team can apply it consistently.

How is brand voice different from tone?

Brand voice is the fixed personality; tone is how that personality flexes by situation. The examples above illustrate voice, the constant, while tone is the moment-to-moment adjustment a brand makes between, say, a celebration and an apology.

Takeaway
