Our brand tonality
How does the A1 Brand sound and speak? The way we talk and write, what we say and how do we say it.
Few foreign words, adjectives and superlatives. The use of technical jargon is minimised as far as possible. We speak and write precisely, as clearly as possible and consistently. We always use the active form and are concise as possible.
Even complex content can be explained simply and specifically to each target group. Well-chosen examples and metaphors can help in this context. Better to use a diagram than numbers, better to use a picture than a thousand words. Don‘t be afraid to use direct, concise sentences. At the same time, avoid sounding banal.
We stand by what we say, but without being arrogant or appearing as „know-alls“. We stand in a poised fashion by our promises. Being authentic also means not hiding our Austrian personality.
A1 can achieve incredible things. Consequently, we can cater to the individual wishes of our customers. In so doing, we focus on clarity and develop innovations that are comprehensible for customers.
We are charming, empathetic and therefore communicated on a personal level. Proximity to customers is always foremost in our minds. The objective of our communication is to inspire them and to provide them with a never-ending stream of positive surprises.
- Clear
- Unambiguous
- Competent
- Authentic
