The way we speak and write
Just like our visual identity, our verbal identity is an expression of our brand identity. The way we write and speak should be just as distinct and recognisable as the way we look. Our design manual tells us how to make use of our visual toolkit. Our voice and tone guidelines describe how we express our brand identity through language. We also have some pillars to stand on when crafting a message and rules on how to write numbers. Find out about this and more below.
Who are these guidelines for?
Everyone communicating as Schibsted should do so with these guidelines in mind – they do not apply to communication where Schibsted’s brands – like Blocket, Finn, Aftonbladet or DBA – are speaking.
