Tone & Style Guide

The document your in-house team will actually use.

Price · ex. VAT €380
Duration 12 to 15 working days
Booked via Stripe · written brief

Most tone-of-voice guides are unread shelfware because they are too long, too theoretical, and too polite. Ours are short, specific, and side-by-side. We give you the four to six voice attributes your brand actually expresses, written as do/don't pairs with real examples drawn from your own writing. The style portion covers the editorial rules that matter — sentence length, capitalisation, hyphen use, voice pronouns, em-dashes, common words to retire — and skips the ones that do not. Your in-house team reads it once and then refers back to specific sections, which is how a style guide is supposed to work.
