If it’s a bid document, white paper, submission to government, suite of policies, or a website – and winning matters – talk to Department of Writing.
Strategically smart, well-written bids help win contracts that boost profits, lift your company’s reputation, and create further opportunities.
What you say and how you say it matters to decision makers. We know how to talk their language.
When FedEx made their manuals easier to read, productivity immediately shot up, saving them $400,000 in the first year alone.
















YOUR CORPORATE WRITERS
Your audience is busy, distracted and probably stressed.
Saying the right thing at the right time is how you engage them.
We work our butts off to understand what the right thing is, and when to say it. Then we say it – clearly, concisely and in a way that encourages action.
Because if writing doesn’t produce results, what’s it for?

Good strategy beats even the best tactics. Planning typically involves learning your goals, the background to the project, who we’re talking to, what they are looking for from you, and agreeing on things like budget and timings.

We’ll then assign a team to the project and let them get to work. Besides writer(s), the team will also include a project manager to keep everything on track.

We review work throughout the project, making sure it’s meeting the goals we agreed on earlier. On most projects we also hold a debrief with you to learn what worked and what we can do better next time.
YOUR CORPORATE WRITERS
A good result is you achieving your desired outcome. A great result is when you also loved working with us. To make sure that happens, we look for two things in our team members: great writing ability and a great attitude.
Both are equally important (there are great writers we don’t work with, much as we admire their ability).
