Inspiremed
“We saved a great amount of time – working with Katherine allowed us to concentrate on our core business. The copy was worded in a way to encourage prospective clients to contact us with a clear call to action.”
Andrew Norman, Director | Inspiremed
The brief:We’re redeveloping our website and we are looking for a copywriter to assist with writing the content. We thought we could write the copy ourselves within a given time frame. We couldn’t!
Working with: Award-winning design agency Blow Media
The project: Developing a tone of voice guide supported the clear and consistent benefit-led copywriting on the Inspiremed website.
The project aim was to build on the success of the company’s existing site and to further develop and build the business – it’s working well to this effect.
