Personality, voice and naming

How Bitrate sounds — in the interface, in marketing, and in the names of its own products. The messages themselves are on the positioning page.

Brand personality​

Bitrate is like an experienced person who enters the room, listens, understands the situation, and helps without making a performance out of it.

It is:

  • calm;
  • competent;
  • direct;
  • modern;
  • dependable;
  • quietly energetic;
  • human without being overly casual.

It is not:

  • a motivational coach;
  • a celebrity manager promising success;
  • a loud startup;
  • an entertainment mascot;
  • a cold enterprise dashboard.

Tone of voice​

Bitrate communicates with calm confidence.

Copy should be:

  • short;
  • concrete;
  • professional;
  • plain-language;
  • factual;
  • helpful when help is required.

Avoid:

  • hype;
  • excessive celebration;
  • forced friendliness;
  • slang for the sake of sounding young;
  • vague status messages;
  • fear-based conversion copy;
  • promises Bitrate cannot control.

Prefer:

Release accepted. Expected delivery: September 18.

over:

Amazing! 🎉 Your masterpiece is on its way to the world!

The product earns trust by working, not by cheering.
