Devieta – website copy and tone of voice

  • Amar Patel
BRIEF
To write copy for an e-commerce website that would function as a responsive showroom for an LA-based client's glamorous range of mobile technology accessories. Think iPad covers that are shoulder bags, purses that are smartphone cases and Bluetooth devices that are bracelets. Although this range was eye-catching in its array of on-trend colours and attractively portrayed through photography assets, the challenge was to make Devieta clearly stand out to an international customer base – and in a congested sector of the fashion industry – by emphasising the brand's problem-solving ability. The client has an acute awareness of customer needs and a knack for producing fashionable, well-crafted items that fit into the everyday lives of today's mobile multi-tasking generation. To these luxury-craving go-getters, small things can give inordinate pleasure. After a lengthy period of product research and competitor analysis we settled on this proposition: "the ultimate travelling companion". The product descriptions, essentially real-life scenarios, flowed from there.
