STRATEGIC SHIFT
Most brands don’t have a social problem…
They have a tone problem.
Does this sound familiar?
01
You’re posting consistently
02
You’re following trends
03
You’re investing in content
BUT…
It’s not landing.
It’s not connecting.
It’s not cutting through.
Because your brand doesn’t sound like it belongs on social.
CASE STUDY
Reinvigorating Virgin Trains
Virgin = Cool.
Trains = Boring.
Virgin Trains came to us because they wanted to be more Virgin… and less Trains.
Using our tone of voice workshop process we developed a tone of voice bible that our team could use to ensure Virgin Trains felt more Virgin.
We shifted from talking about service features and delays to winning people over with wit and charm. Knowing what makes Virgin special and what makes train travel special.
2700% increase in engagement with 97% positive sentiment
“I’m constantly amazed by Cubaka’s creativity and originality. The social strategy they delivered is brilliant.”

Your social media tone of voice is how your brand sounds online — not just what you say, but how you say it.
It’s the difference between:
sounding like a corporate brand
vssounding like something people actually want to engage with
We help you define a tone that feels native to social, consistent across your team, and aligned with your brand.
-
Most brand guidelines weren’t built for social.
They’re designed for:
websites
ads
formal communications
Social moves faster. It’s more reactive, more human, and more culturally driven.
We adapt your brand into something that works in real-time, not just in theory, giving your team clear direction on how to show up day-to-day.
-
Our process is collaborative and practical.
Across two focused sessions, we:
Define your brand personality for social
Explore different tonal directions
Test how they work in real content scenarios
Align stakeholders on a clear direction
You leave with a tone of voice your whole team understands and can actually use
-
You get a complete, usable tone of voice system… not just a presentation.
This includes:
A defined social personality
Clear writing principles
Do’s and don’ts
Real content examples
A full TOV guideline document your team can implement immediately
-
The core workshop takes place across two half-day sessions.
From there:
We refine and build your guidelines
Deliver your full tone of voice framework
Typically, the full process takes a few weeks depending on your team and requirements.
-
Yes! Because it fixes the root problem.
Most brands struggle on social not because they aren’t posting enough, but because they don’t sound right.
When your tone aligns with:
your audience
the platform
the moment
Engagement becomes a natural outcome and not something you have to force.
-
Absolutely.
We support teams with:
Content planning
Reactive social opportunities
Ongoing performance reporting
So your tone of voice doesn’t just sit in a document — it actually gets used
-
Yes — and this is where tone of voice matters most.
