One of the better brand bibles I’ve seen, and I have seen a lot.

Thinking
We help organisations think about the language they use. We work with them to develop a brand language that connects with their customers. So whether they’re writing or talking on the phone, they stand out from the competition.We also help companies define and describe individual propositions. This can mean helping a team understand exactly what their customers need and then focusing their efforts on delivering this. Or it can mean positioning new products, or ones that have become dusty or unloved, with fresh words that bring them to life for people.

Teaching
We teach people how to use language to get results.We help leaders communicate more effectively with their teams and we show them ways to engage with internal and external stakeholders. We help people write, commission and review copy that engages with the reader and talks to them on their terms.And we work with customer service teams. We help people working on the phone have conversations that leave their customers feeling valued, understood and in the hands of someone they trust. And we help people writing letters turn a customer’s complaint into an opportunity.

Doing
While we like to encourage people to do things for themselves, we don’t shy away from putting ourselves on the line and delivering things too. We write copy and make videos.

yule lads or yulemen

The Yule Lads originate from Icelandic folklore. Early on their number and depictions varied greatly depending on location, with each individual Lad ranging from mere pranksters to homicidal monsters who eat children.

The Yule Lads, or Yulemen, (Icelandic: jólasveinarnir or jólasveinar) are figures from Icelandic folklore who in modern times have become the Icelandic version of Santa Claus. Their number has varied throughout the ages, but currently there are considered to be thirteen.
