Brand tone of voice describes the way brands communicate their message to stakeholders. It is used to convey the brand personality and evoke certain mood in people through deliberate choice of words. Establishing a consistent tone through various touchpoints is a complex process which requires understanding the brand core values and the customers thoroughly.

It aims to clearly define a tone profile that is most suitable for VAIKO. It also aims to provide possible other solutions to improve the effectiveness of brand communication.
The research is conducted using a qualitative research method in a form of semi-constructed interviews, with the goal of understanding the customers of VAIKO thoroughly. A sample of five customers was chosen on social media platform Instagram and contacted through direct messages. The sample was interviewed on telephone, enabling in-depth conversations.
