Our Voice: Guiding Principles
Keep it human
We use everyday language. Friendly. Straight-forward. Clear. We express ourselves naturally, but also with wit, passion and charm.
Be the expert
We can speak with authority because, with more than 100 years of experience, we’ve earned it. We use facts, figures and technical language accurately. We know our stuff.
Tell it like it is
We don’t have to hype up our messages. We tell it like it is. Confident. Matter of fact. When it comes to communications, we’re direct.
Application
Here are some examples of how we use the Cummins tone of voice to sound clear, confident, knowledgeable and on our customers’ side.
