TONE OF VOICE STRATEGY

Define your brand’s voice, before you write a word.

Most companies jump straight to writing - a new website, their social media page - without ever sitting down to decide how they actually want their brand to sound in English. The result? Guesswork and inconsistency.

I can help you build the strategic foundation for a clear, documented decision-making framework: who you are in English, what you sound like, what you’d NEVER say and why, so that you always know what “on-brand” actually means.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a UK brand, or a brand from Italy, France or Spain - my cultural appreciation and linguistic expertise means my approach is always sensitive to your needs.
