Our Content Philosophy

Every company we support is unique, but the way we approach crafting your words is guided by a key set of principles. Here’s how we do it.

We write for humans first, then optimize for computers.

  • We align content to the phases of the customer journey
  • We write about the topics that customers care about, then optimize for SEO
  • We strive to answer the questions that customers haven’t yet asked

We establish clarity and add creativity.

  • We strive for simplicity in everything we do and sprinkle it with inspiration
  • We consider, “What is the larger story here?”
  • We embrace a well-used metaphor or turn of phrase

We use the power of emotion and reinforce it with logic.

  • People buy on emotion and justify with logic; we help them back up their decision
  • We always empathize with the reader 
  • We create a sense of personal connection with the reader

We invite customers into a story where they are the protagonist.

  • You are the “guide” who gives your customer a plan to succeed on their journey
  • We frame every feature and benefit with the challenges the customer faces
  • We understand that no one wants to listen to companies go on and on about themselves

We make micro-interactions matter.

  • From button text to form confirmations, the little things matter
  • We infuse your brand voice into everything we touch

We make Google Docs beautiful.

  • We proofread and use tools to ensure all copy is clean and error-free
  • We use headings to create an easily digestible hierarchy
  • We label, comment, and format in a way that anticipates your needs
