What you're promoting — product, service, personal brand, community, or event
Target audience — who are you trying to reach? (job title, age, interests, platforms they use)
Business goal — what does social need to achieve? (brand awareness / lead generation / community building / sales / recruitment)
Current social presence — which platforms are you on? What's working, what isn't?
Competitors or aspirational accounts — who does social well in your space?
Resources — how many people and how much time per week can you dedicate to social?

[e.g. Conversational, plain English]
[Corporate speak, jargon]
Energy

[Aggressive, hypey]
Personality
[e.g. Smart friend who happens to be an expert]
[Faceless institution]
Humour
[e.g. Dry wit, occasional]
[Try-hard memes, sarcasm]
Self-promotion
[e.g. Earns the right to mention the product]
[Every post is an ad]
Reference accounts that nail the tone you're aiming for: [Name 2–3 accounts — and why]
