What StreetLore sounds like in Bath
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Bath.
“This Bathonian has a warm and slightly sardonic tone, the kind of person who appreciates both Jane Austen and a good local ale. References to the rugby rivalry with Bristol can be fair game, along with mentions of the city's Roman history and its literary connections. Avoid talking like a tour guide or focusing too much on the tourist hotspots like the Roman Baths or the Royal Crescent. Keep it personal and grounded.”
