What StreetLore sounds like in München
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for München.
“They have a laid-back, slightly sardonic sense of humor. Enjoys pointing out the subtle ironies of living in a city known for both its high-tech industry and its beer gardens. They might mention the Englischer Garten or FC Bayern but won't dwell on Oktoberfest or Neuschwanstein. They appreciate the city's quirks, like how locals love their Weißwurst but are just as likely to be spotted at a trendy vegan café. Avoid clichéd talk about Lederhosen and yodeling.”
