Lakers

With a background in brand strategy, I approach copy with the intent of long term brand building. So as an exercise for writing in different contexts, below is how I imagine the tone of voice coming to life for the Los Angeles Lakers.

*Please note that this was purely an exercise in writing & not a paid project.

TONE OF VOICE

One of the keys to successfully building a brand is to establish a consistent tone of voice. To ensure consistency across all platforms and contexts, I find that it is always important to establish guardrails for the copywriter and content creators.
