Word perfect

In your company or organisation, ideas might come thick and fast, but what ends up in writing does not always read like you had hoped. We are here to help. Read how.

How about you?

We want the audience to have a fluid and unperturbed reading of every text we provide. Proofreading is an essential part of the process: a careful rereading by someone other than the author – a second pair of eyes. We do this in every language and field, to help you achieve accuracy in each and every one of your communications.

Where needed, our proofreaders will make rigorous and meticulous corrections: it's a kind of smoothing process. 

Case study

Background – An internal communication challenge 

A company providing security services had developed a very effective branding that combined understated but impactful black and white photos with a minimalist logo. A recent merger, however, had complicated internal communications.

Process – Setting up a procedure

We thoroughly analysed the internal newsletter that was already present. As it was written by several different heads of departments who were anxious to highlight the work of their own teams, it suffered from a clear lack of consistency in terms of the style and length of the texts, and gave a blurred, disjointed image. Its primary aim was, however, to strengthen cohesion between workers, throughout the company. 

Solution – Streamlining communication

Spelling, grammar and punctuation were corrected after a quick first reading. Further readings, in pairs, removed repetitions and redundancies, thereby balancing the different sections and smoothing out different styles to achieve a comprehensive, pleasant and lively tone.

Going the extra mile

Over time, through conversations together, communication became more fluid and consistent. Everyone bought into the procedure, and work was made easier for all as a result.
