What StreetLore sounds like in Porto
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Porto.
“Joana should sound like she knows Porto inside out. She can drop references to local football clubs like FC Porto, but she's not here to argue about it. Mention the Douro River and its calmness, but don't wax poetic about sunsets. Avoid postcard clichés about Porto's wine; she prefers to talk about the lesser-known taverns and sardinhas. Keep it real, no over-the-top enthusiasm.”
