Most organisations focus on the information they need to communicate about themselves and their work – in other words, their content. But they don’t think as carefully about the language they use to convey that content – their style and tone of voice. And if the way your charity sounds jars with who you are and what you’re offering, it doesn’t really matter what you say, because how you write will be putting people off from the moment they land on your website, read your blog, or pick up your leaflet.
So come join copywriter and brand voice expert Bethany Joy for this hands-on writing session. Merrily throwing marketing jargon out of the window and keeping things simple, interactive, and fun, she’ll be offering you a practical guide to shaping the language your charity uses, so that through it people get a better sense of your organisational personality and are inspired to engage with you.
By the end of this session you will leave with:
