For your copywriters or your customer service team. On SEO or voice. Our training is designed for your team, from scratch.
We start where others don't: we're copywriters who find copywriters, usually for roles in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
How do you build a content team? What will make your writers more effective? Find out how we helped Tails.com and Universities Scotland.
Lately, we've written an Alexa skill for Channel 4, blogs for Tails.com and a film for Tamdhu. But we don't go on about it.
What should your business be famous for? Tell the world with messaging that's clear, distinctive and powerful.
18 years ago, digital didn't understand brand voice and brand voice didn't understand digital. We wanted to change that.
So we developed an approach to brand messaging and tone of voice that works across channels and teams – from customer service emails to homepage headlines.
Now with offices in Glasgow and London, we work with creative agencies and directly with clients. We consult, we write, we train, and we recruit.
