We talk about trying to build relationships and trust. We talk about growing a reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we give them GreenPeanutCorp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GreenPeanutCorp is hard to get to know. It always feels like it\u2019s putting on an act. It\u2019s generally honest, but you feel the need to check its facts anyway. It can be informative to listen to, but you never feel inclined to conversation. And that\u2019s probably because GreenPeanutCorp is a brand, a company, a seller of sustainable packing peanuts, and nobody cares about getting to know a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get frustrated when you\u2019ve got a nice brand, with a persona and a standards manual and everything, and you\u2019re still struggling to build awareness or affinity, or even just a cohesive marketing strategy that doesn\u2019t give you that vague sense of \u201cthis just isn\u2019t working for me, I don\u2019t know why.\u201d Which is why there\u2019s this guy I want you to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But first: Brand personas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As creatives, we\u2019re given a number of tools to do our job and make sure the whole team is on the same page. We get creative briefs that define the parameters of our work, and customer\/audience personas that help us understand who we\u2019re creating <em>for<\/em>, and brand personas that, theoretically, help us understand who we\u2019re creating <em>about<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are, sincerely, great. They helpfully define traits like innovative! And dynamic! And friendly! And you get your mission and your vision, which are crucial information, and you know your brand voice is exciting and when your tone is serious vs. approachable. And then you sit down to write a blog post for a brand that is innovative and approachable and wants to become the world leader in sustainable packing peanuts, and you\u2019re struggling because brands don\u2019t talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We talk about brand voice and face and persona like they\u2019re these disembodied entities separate from the organization \u2014 like the answer to not being a soulless, faceless corporation is to glue a face onto the front of it. (You\u2019re welcome for the nightmare fuel.) And then that doesn\u2019t work, and we wonder why, and it\u2019s because we never bothered talking to Justin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Justin.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/capertongillett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/friends-at-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Three friends sit at a sports bar, around a square table.

Yay, Justin!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I once worked with a client named Justin. I mean, the <em>client<\/em> wasn\u2019t named Justin, but the brand was definitely a guy named Justin. Justin is in his mid-thirties, recently married, no kids yet but seriously considering it. He\u2019s the middle child of three and was a little salty about it growing up but came into his own during college. Justin is exceptionally smart and sometimes has to work at not wandering into some pretty high-level weeds, but overall he makes it happen. He\u2019s middlingly helpful with bar trivia but a reliable go-to for information under other circumstances. He\u2019s fun to hang out with and easy to talk to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin is great to work with, and so <em>flexible.<\/em> On the website, he\u2019s clear and authoritative but accessible \u2014 he really wants you to understand what he\u2019s talking about. In blog posts, he\u2019s a little more accessible and a little less authoritative \u2014 you always feel like he respects you and is talking <em>to<\/em> you and not <em>down to <\/em>you. (When it\u2019s a byline elsewhere, he does lock it down a bit to make sure he\u2019s appropriately professional on someone else\u2019s turf.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his ads, he\u2019s Fun Justin. He\u2019s One and a Half Beers Justin. He jokes. He gets a little talky, often about himself, but you don\u2019t mind because he\u2019s still fun. Sometimes it makes you like him even more. Justin is never mean, or Too Much \u2014 he\u2019s easy to talk to, easy to listen to, easy to trust, and easy to respect, and all those things are real, authentic Justin. Any time you run into Justin, you feel like he\u2019s being himself. And you really like himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But why does it matter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It matters because our job is to, as noted, build relationships, trust, with our customers. We want people to take that sense of competence and openness they gained from a blog post and carry it with them to a product page. To follow a familiar, natural path from an email to a landing page. To click from an ad to a webinar and not feel like they\u2019ve been lured into something other than what they\u2019ve been promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a concrete idea of <em>who <\/em>the brand really is \u2014 with a department of siloed copywriters and content writers and PR people all working from their own interpretation of what \u201cinnovative\u201d and \u201capproachable\u201d and \u201cserious\u201d look like \u2014 we\u2019re left with a sense of dissonance, and customers who feel like they\u2019re being sold to and not talked with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that doesn\u2019t work. Because those customers might be closing sales with GreenPeanutCorp, but it\u2019s because they trust Justin to follow through on his promises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Bull\u2019s name is Tyler.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just me. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hurree.co\/5-companies-who-nailed-their-brand-personality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You\u2019re seeing this in some of the biggest brands<\/a> \u2014 they might not go so far as to give their brand a name, but you can bet they know how old they are, how they dress, what they do on weekends, and what their friends think of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might not know exactly what Apple\u2019s marketing team has nailed down about their brand, but you know you\u2019d trust him to go on and on about the newest cool thing but usually be right about it, and you really don\u2019t enjoy hanging out with him but you sometimes do because you feel like you should. Red Bull tends to be A Lot, but you actually enjoyed going mountain biking with him that time even though you crashed, and he\u2019s a surprisingly good listener.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you know these things because the brand is so consistent from ad to website to blog to byline \u2014 a little different in each context, but you always know it\u2019s that guy who willingly gave up that fedora when you explained it to him, or the one who sleeps for two days after a moto but is then ready to hang out. Because they aren\u2019t just a brand persona \u2014 they\u2019re a brand person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your own Justin.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing to know about Justin: Coming up with your Justin is a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously <em>your<\/em> brand isn\u2019t going to have a Justin \u2014 Justin\u2019s brand had a Justin because their tone and personality and spirit were all embodied by Justin. You might have a Maggie, or a Howard, or a Nevaeh or something. The activity of outlining your brand person \u2014 and this is a department-wide thing, because everyone has perspective on who your person is \u2014 is unifying and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now you have a great tool for assessing your marketing efforts. Our homepage \u2014 is that how Maggie would say it? If Howard were introducing this webinar, would he look comfortable doing it? If I asked Nevaeh to explain this product to me, is this how she\u2019d describe it? You have your brand standards to adhere to, and your brand strategy, and now you have your answer to that vague&nbsp; \u201cthis just isn\u2019t working.\u201d Run it by Helene and see what she thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helene is great. Kind of slow to pick up on jokes sometimes, but definitely knows her stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We like Helene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Oh, just one more thing: <\/strong>We\u2019re not actually done here. Today\u2019s discussion naturally leads into a definitive discussion of the Copywriting vs. Content Writing debate. <\/em>How <em>does it naturally lead into that?
