TONE OF VOICE
I've created and consulted on tone of voice guidelines for 13 leading brands, charities and organisations. This includes Helping Rhinos, video agency Bouche and fintech company Soldo.
I worked with Verbal Identity to create new tone of voice guidelines, brand positioning and competitor analysis for Rightmove, the University of Cambridge, a luxury bicycle manufacturer, a global food brand, a market-leading beverage brand and a heritage Scottish whisky maker.
In 2021, I created a 'Copy Playbook' for Skoot, a short and punchy overview of their brand tone of voice focused on real examples and practical tips.
In September 2020, I created new tone of voice guidelines and a new style guide for award-winning supplements company Wild Nutrition. After 'changing the face of vitamins' (British Vogue), this exciting brand needed a new written voice to support their expansion. I created an empathetic, intelligent and down-to-earth tone before creating key brand comms, including a new tagline and brand statement.
I was commissioned by John Lewis Finance to update their tone of voice guidelines to communicate trust and authority. I created a new guideline pack, style guide and tone of voice examples and communicated these to their creative team.
I commissioned and managed new brand tone of voice guidelines for John Lewis & Partners as part of their 2018 rebrand. This introduced a bolder, confident and contemporary voice, to shift the focus to services and drive authority in fashion. I wrote new language and style guidelines for the master brand, introduced tone of voice and style guidelines for all sub-brands and communicated new guidelines to 150+ Partners and agencies. I wrote and managed all comms for the 2019 Oxford Street Menswear refurbishment in line with new guidelines.
