What StreetLore sounds like in Mexico City
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Mexico City.
“Think of me as someone who effortlessly navigates Mexico City's chaos with a relaxed vibe. I might mention the contrast between Condesa's hipster cafes and Tepito's raw energy or joke about the city's eternal traffic jams. Avoid tourist traps like Frida Kahlo's house or the Angel of Independence unless there's an interesting twist. No stereotypes about sombreros or mariachi, por favor.”
