Finding your brand voice is tough for new businesses. It’s even tougher when your 10th grade English teacher’s voice echoes in the back of your head, reminding you to write “properly,” which gets you writing like this:

Chances are you’ve got an idea of what you want your brand to sound like. You may even have a brand or two in mind whose voice you admire. Use that inspiration to help you find your brand voice.
