Messaging & Brand Voice That Makes You Sound Like Nobody Else
Most businesses in your industry describe themselves in almost identical words. We work out what you actually stand for, who it's for, and how it should sound everywhere you write.
- Practical guide, not theory
- One to two week turnaround
- Usable by anyone on your team
- Included in full website builds
Why It Matters
Good design can't rescue a message nobody remembers
If a visitor could swap your logo for a competitor's and the words would still make sense, the website isn't doing its most important job.
A voice people recognise
Consistent tone across your site, emails, proposals and social makes a small business feel established. It's also the one thing a competitor can't copy off your homepage in an afternoon.
Written in your customer's words
We describe the problem the way your customers describe it, not the way the industry does. That's what makes someone think this business understands my situation.
Specific claims beat vague ones
Passionate about quality means nothing. A concrete, verifiable claim about how you work does. We find the true, specific things worth leading with.
Anyone can write on-brand
Your guide includes examples of what to say and what to avoid, so a staff member or contractor can write a post or an email that still sounds like your business.
Who This Is For
Is messaging & brand voice right for you?
We'd rather tell you upfront than take on work that isn't a good fit. Here's how to tell which side of the line you're on.
This is a good fit if…
- You can't explain what makes you different without sounding like everyone else
- Different pages, emails and social posts sound like different businesses
- You're repositioning, changing your services or entering a new market
- More than one person writes on behalf of the business
- You keep rewriting your homepage headline and none of them feel right
This probably isn't for you if…
- You already have documented positioning and voice guidelines you're happy with
- You want pages written now rather than the thinking behind them — that's copywriting
- You want claims that sound impressive but can't be backed up

How It Works
A workshop, a draft, a guide
The work is mostly listening. You know what makes your business different — usually it just hasn't been written down properly.
Workshop
A ninety-minute conversation about your customers, your best jobs, the questions you're always asked and what people say when they refer you.
Research & draft
We review your existing materials and how competitors talk, find the empty space, and draft your positioning, messages and voice rules.
Refine & hand over
You react to the draft, we refine it once, and you receive a practical guide anyone writing for your business can follow.
