YOUR BUSINESS CONTENT SORTED FROM A-Z.
Yes, we’re wordsmiths and linguists. But first and foremost, we’re communication practitioners.
Writing Services
What we’ve written lives on in the legacies of businesses worldwide.
We fuse creative flair with strategic insights to create both short and long-form content for any and all forms of business-to-business (“B2B”), business-to-consumer (“B2C”) or internal business communication.
Storyboard development and script writing for corporate videos or radio ads; press releases; print advertisements; editorials; website content; company profiles; SEO blog articles; emailers; newsletters; and social media content. Our list is almost endless, and not just by figure of speech.
With too many projects under the belt to feature on a single portfolio of evidence, we’ll gladly provide you with specific samples of our work on request, or references and testimonials from clients who worked with us.
Translations
Nothing touches the hearts of the people of this Rainbow Nation like speaking their language and “getting” their lingo.
From English to Afrikaans and vice versa, or from English and Afrikaans to any of the other nine official South African languages. We’re not just academics and linguists; we’re also copywriters.
This means we’ll creatively translate those catchy lines unique to some of these languages while getting the textbook technicalities 100% right.
From entire technical B2B business reports to B2C radio and print ads and educational posters, we’re proud to say we’ve earned our stripes as credible translators who get on with it and get the job done to satisfaction and beyond.
ProofreadingProofreading and editing
Yes, AI is useful, but it is far from replacing human ingenuity and that eye for attention to the not-so-obvious details.
Regardless of the industry you’re in or how technical your industry is, you can count on us to add that much-needed attention to detail and a touch of professionalism to your business content.
We don’t just check for spelling, grammar and language errors, but we also “read for meaning”. This enables us to detect discrepancies, unnecessary repetition and illogical flow of messaging, a skill no artificial intelligence or app can replace, as it has been proven to require true human ingenuity.
Apart from proofreading and editing a vast number of annual and research reports and impact studies across multiple industries, we’ve also assisted with international best practice guidelines for integrated annual reports. To name but a few.
Plus, we’ve developed messages and forewords on behalf of chairpersons of the board and chief executive officers, to serve as introductions to these reports.
Media exercises or conferences
We have an impeccable reputation for helping businesses retain an impeccable business reputation while gaining optimal media exposure.
We have your back, from writing press releases and media fact sheets on your behalf, to running an entire conference or media exercise on your behalf and training your executives for professional media liaison.
By “media exercise”, we mean developing an industry-specific media list for you, writing the article or press release on your behalf and distributing it to the media to obtain maximum free media exposure.
Our work is underpinned by sound public relations principles to help you build a positive public reputation and strong media relations. At the same time, our rates are purposefully tailored to help ensure a return on your investment.
Thought leadership positioning
You can look at us as your trusted backstage crew, who works hard to help elevate you to the centre of the professional stage.
We’ve developed countless case studies, opinion pieces and thought leadership articles on behalf of top CEOs and business executives, some of which were featured in the media and some of which were used in newsletters or blogs.
All of these naturally help build their business reputation and professional profiles. We combine an in-depth interview with the executive in question with our own research into trends and global best practices to showcase industry insights and draft world-class articles.
Additionally, we’ve helped proofread theses of several industry thought leaders who completed their PhDs, and we’ve ghostwritten or edited books to help them become published authors.
As a bonus, we can help you with all the other elements that form part of thought leadership positioning: your strategy, digital and social media presence, speech writing and presentations for industry events.
Concept and theme development
An event theme, a slogan, or a theme for a brand, programme, product, social media or teambuilding campaign. We’ve got you.
A word, a line, a tagline, a slogan. We’ll strategically help you conceptualise that big idea and make sure your key message becomes the golden thread that is expertly woven throughout your communication.
Over the years, many of the ideas we’ve been able to brainstorm have earned our clients some of the most illustrious industry awards and accolades. We’ll be honoured to work with you to achieve the same.
Strategies and plans
Look no further for a co-writer or chief writer of the strategy, plan, programme or campaign you have developed.
Working with us will add objectivity, depth, additional research and fresh insights to all the brainwork you’ve already done. Plus, you’ll get the added value of expertly articulating your rationale and the key messages you wish to drive home.
As a trusted partner to communication agencies or valued outsourced members of our client’s teams, we’ve done extensive work in this arena, from compiling plans for projects and programmes to developing brand or communication strategies from end to end.
For this reason, we can easily fall in right behind you and work with you at a pace and depth you prefer that matches your current capacity. We guarantee you’ll feel heard and supported as we help to make your work burden just a little or a whole lot lighter. You get to decide.
