Our mission and values

Our mission is to help organisations and individuals get more value from their daily investment in business communication.

When we fulfil our mission, we help build a fairer, more respectful society. A society where people can communicate their ideas clearly, and find the information they need.

We use the power of words for good

Our tagline is ‘We use the power of words for good’.

We know that words have power. Whether you’re trying to persuade, inform, or ask something — of one person or a whole nation — words are your most powerful tool. So we believe in using words for good. We look for clients who believe that too.

We’re proud to be on the way to becoming a B Corp

B Corp businesses balance purpose and profit, and we hope to be a certified B Corp soon.

We’ll be joining a group of organisations that believe in using business, including their words, for good.
More soon!
