Wordsworks
Since 2003, we’ve been helping to improve the written communications of clients in a range of sectors, from a few lines of advertising copy or social media posts, to large websites or corporate reports of 100+ pages.
Our roots are in business journalism – our writers have written for the BBC, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph, among others.
It means we’re particularly good at getting to grips with complicated subjects and communicating them clearly and concisely.
It also means we are good at spotting the unique context or characteristics that can breathe life into your brand, and keep readers engaged.
As well our journalism experience, our team has worked with leading UK creative agencies on high profile marketing campaigns for consumer and business brands across the globe. This combination of journalistic rigour and creative thinking is one the reasons clients keep coming back to us.
