Dairyland verbal identity
Dairyland provides non-standard auto and motorcycle insurance to drivers and riders across the U.S. I worked with them during their rebrand to help define a new voice for their organization. The result was a comprehensive set of verbal identity guidelines, which includes a brand manifesto, tonal tactics, "before and after" rewrites that demonstrate how to apply those tactics, key brand messages for different audiences, and SEO writing considerations. I wrote everything you'll see in the deck below.

Brand Manifesto
The Dairyland brand manifesto can be found on page 8 of the above PDF, but you can also view it below.

At Dairyland, one of our favorite words is “welcome.”
Welcome to the rebels riding on the
highway with the wind in their hair.
To the lifelong owner polishing his baby each night before closing up shop.
To the new-to-the-game thrill-seeker
revving up her engine for the first time.

Welcome to the drivers trying to stay safe while making ends meet.
To the young mom borrowing an SUV to get to work on time with the kids in tow.
To the just-licensed teen with a few tickets to his name but a deep love for his ’98 Corolla.


We know that for you, a car is much more than four tires and a steering wheel, and a motorcycle goes way beyond being just a prized possession.
They’re your freedom. Your safety. Your passion. Your livelihood.

And at Dairyland, we know that no matter what journey you’re on, we’re all driving down the same road.
So we say, “welcome.”
Welcome to a place where you’re always
a person and never a number.
Welcome to a place where respect is
the standard and acceptance is the norm.
Welcome to a place where you can
always come as you are.
With Dairyland by your side,
every step of the way.
