Balancing Brand Voice with Product Clarity

Finding equilibrium between brand voice and product clarity is crucial for effective communication. The podcast discusses how a strong brand voice can sometimes conflict with the product’s needs, especially in complex industries like finance or cryptocurrency. For instance, while a friendly and chatty brand voice may be effective for general interactions, it can hinder customer support situations where users are frustrated, such as seeking refunds.
