Learn to Level-up Your Work Words.

Practical content writing workshops so
your team can write stuff other people
actually want to read.


Are you all still writing the same way you have for the past fifteen years? Are you notoriously stuffy ‘n’ boring, and do your messages fail to cut through?

Thanks to our glorious interwebs and social media, consumer behaviours and expectations have changed; we’re now all seven-second consumers. So, if your words are boring as bat-shit and failing to connect with your talent - well, you already know the answer. No one engages with your message. No one connects with your brand. No one gives a damn about what you have to say 😘

As a professional communicator with years of experience in HR and recruitment, I can help your team get a clear understanding of content writing fundamentals and employer brand voice to write purposeful recruitment and employer content people actually enjoy reading.

Creative writing for recruitment teams

Get tongue-tied in front of a computer? Or maybe corporate wafflitis is your style. Either way, you’re not connecting with your candidates when you try showing up online.

The thing is, most educated people assume that because they went to university, or because they scored a B++ in high school English, their writing skills are rad AF. Sorry to break your heart, but it’s probably not true (or why else would you be here?). I draw on communication and journalism basics and blend them with creative writing tools and techniques to help you confidently jazz up your work words and craft compelling messages and stories that evoke an emotional response from audiences. I call it, lingo-loosening.
