Characteristics

More is a service brand from the house of brands by HB Reavis. As such, the brand values should be in line with HB Reavis’ brand values.

It sounds simple, but we go way beyond basic expectations. HB Reavis’ first and foremost care as a workspace provider are the people in their buildings and their well-being.

More represents all the standard services clients need, from technical maintenance, cleaning and security through concierge services to above standard services and events such as car and bike sharing, events aimed at health, beauty and well-being, art exhibitions, street food markets, educational events, social events and even child care.

We go above and beyond the norm with building design and we want to do more for it’s users.

We:

Tone Of Voice

Our copy tone is very important. It reinforces our vision and helps audiences to understand the kind of people we are. In essence, our voice is warm, deep and has a calm authority while preserving a youthful, familiar and natural quality.

We write:

  • in the local languages of the markets we operate in
  • in British English on an international level
  • only using a language’s characters and exclude those from other languages
    (e.g. no accents in British English)
  • with a smooth, precise, approachable and friendly voice
  • inspirationally and subtly enthusiastically
  • informally, using ‘we’ instead of ‘More’ and ‘we’re’ rather than ‘we are’
  • avoiding colloquialisms and over familiar language
  • credibly and authentically about our services and products
  • stories to communicate our ideas and achievements
  • in conversational language over official, not only to deliver the message, but to bring a human aspect into it, as if it’s from person to person
  • with our core principles and philosophy clearly in mind
