Brand Story: Your brand story is the unique narrative of who you are and what makes you 
special, memorable and sets you apart from everyone else, because it is the story that 
only you, Smyrna, Georgia can tell. 
  
How do you define a place that is at once historic and new, casual and sophisticated, 
laidback and full of energy? A place where the traditional harmonizes with the cutting 
edge and growth and preservation go hand in hand. A place that’s minutes away from 
Atlanta and all its amenities, yet miles away in its own smalltown charm and personality. Is 
it possible to mutually evoke an urban and rural vibe while acting both sporty and refined? 
It is when you’ve essentially redefined what a suburb can be. etc. 
  
Brand Voice: Your brand voice refers to the overall personality, character and emotional 
tone the city of Smyrna uses to speak with your audience. It encompasses the attitude 
behind your words and should be consistent across all communications, including 
advertising, social media posts, email, newsletters, video scripts, public relations and 
internal communications. A unified voice in how you talk about yourself will make Smyrna 
memorable and nurture connections with your audience. More than ever, the power of a 
strong brand voice is important in setting Smyrna apart.
