Dave
Brand Refresh
The Dave brand went through an evolution Summer 2023. That meant completely updating how we speak to our members, how we describe ourselves, and how we show up in the competitive landscape. Until this point, Dave’s branding was scattered and uncertain and confused. Now, its confident, recognizable, and singular.
Solution: Working closely with the Creative Director, I overhauled all of the copy, voice, and tone to evoke our new “Friendly Fighter” ethos. I onboarded the Copy team and UX writer with the new Voice and Tone Guidelines. I rewrote the entire website, kickstarted our new CRM writing, and oversaw the Copy team’s updating our app storefronts, paid and organic social personas, and more. I continually update the Voice and Tone Guidelines with new products and features, and constantly vet, write, and edit all of Marketing’s words for consistency and clarity against our guidelines.
