Role summary
You use as few words as you can to communicate your point. Knowing that readers are impatient, you edit out extraneous text.
You write in short sentences because long sentences puzzle readers. So, you break long sentences into shorter sentences (that is, 20 words maximum).
You write using an active voice 90% of the time. A passive voice hides the true meaning. You make the actor the sentence’s subject.
You eliminate weasel words. Weasel words make statements wimpy. So you cut weasel words. If you can’t, you cut the sentence.
You replace jargon with clarity. Jargon makes readers feel stupid. So, you replace it with plain English.
You cite claims effectively. Statistics and references support your point. You include both context and source of statistics.
You use “I”, “we”, and “you”. Pronouns invite the reader to relate. When you write, you imagine the reader and write directly to them.
You move key insights up. Bold statements retain attention. So, you write bold openers and rewrite them with each draft.
You cite examples. Text without examples is boring. When writing, you plan to spend half your time on research because you should know the customer avatars you’re targeting. You’re a natural learner that doesn’t avoid what you don’t know. Instead, you get stuck in and deconstruct what you don’t yet know until you fully understand it.
You give signposts. Readers want to know what’s coming. So, after stating your argument, explain what’s coming next.

Our core values guide us when decisions get tough. We use them when recruiting, setting expectations, evaluating performance, managing performance, and rewards & recognition.
Show Courage
You take a stand for your evidence-based ideas. You don’t sugarcoat or hold back. You say what you honestly feel and are confident in your strengths.
Give a damn
You deliver quality work by the due date. You develop your craft every week. You find new ways to help customers achieve their goals and you show your teammates that you care.
Be a light
You have fun and share it with others. You seek solutions not problems. You are enthusiastic and positively embrace change (even when it’s hard).
Learn quickly
You instantly apply on the job feedback. You find and apply new tools and methods to improve your performance. You create and follow best-practice checklists.
Know the goal
You know the goal of your task before you begin. You communicate how your work helped to achieve the goal.
You’ll need these skills and experience
You can find answers or solve a particular problem by studying materials and sources. You have a proven ability to gather information, analyse, interpret and review it before providing work for review.
You can communicate with fluency, creativity and flair. However, you know the most important thing when writing is to know about what you write. While writing to convey a message, you don’t stray from the truth.
You have proven experience writing prose to promote and sell services. You approach your work with self-assurance and are thick-skinned when receiving feedback. You are an anti-perfectionist, thirsty to learn but know when enough is enough.
