đȘ What Your Slogan Really Says About Your Brand
Because âDriven by Excellenceâ could also mean âMicromanaged into oblivion.â
Slogans are supposed to be simple, punchy expressions of your brandâs identity. But letâs be honest: most of them sound like they were generated during a caffeine crash in a WeWork conference room.
Behind every polished phrase is an uncomfortable truth your brand is desperately trying to avoid. So today, weâre pulling back the curtain and translating the real message hiding behind your slogan.
And yes, itâs going to hurt a little.
- âInnovating the Futureâ
What it actually means:
We havenât built anything yet, but weâve definitely bought the domain. - âEmpowering Connectionsâ
Translation:
Youâll get 97 notifications a day and still forget who Steve is. - âSeamless Integrationâ
Translation:
Our software will break your current setup and gaslight you into blaming your IT team. - âCustomer-Centric by Designâ
Translation:
We had a meeting about empathy. There was a slide deck. - âBuilt for Scaleâ
Translation:
Weâre not profitable, but boy do we dream big. - âAgile. Nimble. Disruptive.â
Translation:
We fired the project manager and now everyoneâs guessing. - âDriven by Passionâ
Translation:
We underpay our team and call it a vibe.
How to Say What You Actually Mean
Look, not every brand needs to sound like a TED Talk fell into a soup of buzzwords. In fact, the brands that people trust most? Theyâre usually the ones that drop the pretense and speak like humans.
Thatâs why we built HonestTaglines.com:
A tool that generates brutally honest slogans so real, they hurt (and convert).
Instead of fluff, you get fire:
- âStill not Coke. But hey, bubbles.â
- âWe monetize your exhaustion.â
- âNow available in âbetaâ forever.â
