Tone of voice/copy style

2CV

2CV

Caroline was a real pleasure to work with. She took a methodological approach to a relatively complex brief and delivered results that put an emphasis on clarity but still maintained a strong TOV / personality. She also worked efficiently, saving us invaluable time in the process.

Amazonas Sandals

Amazonas Sandals

Caroline’s copy has helped to position and launch our Amazonas Sandals brand in the UK. She was very in-tune with the briefing and how we wanted to communicate with our customers. Her creative ideas and advice on SEO and website structure, together with her fantastic copy, gave our e-commerce website a unique personality. Not only was the copy spot on, bold and exciting, Caroline also made sure that the keyword density was perfect and that the deadlines and our expectations were met.

Mighty Rice

Caroline is an excellent copywriter. We started a new brand and needed a tone-of-voice to suit. She grasped our ideas and crafted a verbal identity that perfectly portrayed our values. I highly recommend Caroline's services especially as, being in Mauritius, we needed someone with whom we could build a good working relationship long-distance!

O2

O2

Developed a new tone of voice for O2, working with Lambie Nairn. O2 wanted one tone of voice that could adopt different styles depending on the target audience and channel of communication. Also wrote best practice examples for each target group.

Intelligent, expert, detailed, accurate. Caroline understands the power of language and tone of voice, adding real value with rich narrative, to all the brands we have worked on together, such as a year-long project on O2. So talented that I would prefer no one else knew about her. Especially our competitors. Please forget you’ve read any of this.

QinetiQ

QinetiQ

QinetiQ decided to translate its scientific brilliance into commercial value. Its new site needed to demonstrate the business benefits of technologies and present complex information in a straightforward manner. It had to be written for an audience of clients and potential clients and partners. Worked in conjunction with Rufus Leonard.

I have worked with Caroline for over five years on a number of branding projects.  She would be the first writer I would contact to work on new projects. She is quick, efficient, reliable and always delivers good dynamic copy. She understands the needs of the client - as well as deadlines!
