Copywriting for Business
We are experts in professional writing for business, schools, and non-profits. More specifically, we love to create the more difficult and comprehensive documents. The type that often need more than one person to make an input.
Strategic Planning
We assist our clients to develop long-term strategies, reach business goals, assess market opportunities, and position the company for growth.
Talent Management and People Development
Your people are your most valuable investment. We work with our clients to help team members make their greatest contribution to your business success.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a crucial aspect of modern business, driven by the recognition that companies have a broader responsibility to society and the environment. For South African companies, we also help you maximise the BBBEE returns on your CSR investments.
Copywriting for Business
If you are a school, NPO or business looking for professional documents, contact us.
- Business Plans for new and existing businesses, looking for investment. We work with you to best understand your business, conduct the market research, and ensure that the financial and other mandatory information meets the funder’s specifications. The final product is a professionally written, well structured document that meets the funders needs and makes your brand shine.
- Annual Reports, including Corporate Social Responsibility Reports, for government, SOEs, corporates and NPOs. These documents are compiled from your data and interviews with key individuals. Whether you are aligned with the Auditor-General of South Africa’s requirements, or are reporting to international stakeholders using the international <IR> Integrated Reporting standards, we ensure an accurate and comprehensive report. We work hand in hand with your designers, or bring in our own to ensure that the look and feel of your report matches the brand voice and content of your annual report.
- Strategic Plans are the framework for a successful business. We facilitate the entire process, or work with your facilitator, to provide you with an action-focussed document that makes it easy for everyone to know what they need to do to create success.
- Proposals for Funding and Tender Submissions often include a multi-disciplinary team. We assist clients in the project management and writing of these comprehensive documents. Through the creation of professional documents that read easily and provide all the necessary data in the format needed, we help clients secure new opportunities.
Strategic Planning
- Market Research is undertaken to provide the necessary insights before effective strategic planning can take place. This information is also invaluable in the development of business plans and marketing strategies.
- Operational Improvement strategies are explored through a facilitated process that includes the analysis of business operations to identify inefficiencies and recommend process improvements to enhance productivity and reduce costs. Where necessary, sector experts are brought in to assist in the analysis and identification of strategic changes. Throughout the process, our role is to support the business owner and management team to identify and implement change in the least disruptive and most efficient manner.
- Marketing and Branding Strategy is the driver of business success. Working with marketing and branding experts, we manage the development and roll-out of a comprehensive marketing strategy that delivers a clear message and promotes your success.
Talent Management and People Development
We work with our clients to help team members make their greatest contribution to your business success.
- Interviews for new staff. Anne-Lise has significant experience in interviewing educators for schools and administrators in business. We are available to sit on interview panels, prepare interview questions and exercises, and follow up on references.
- Staff Reviews should be done on a regular basis. We assist our clients in setting performance targets, interviewing team members and are the external evaluator on performance review panels.
- Change Management is a specialised field through which we journey with businesses in transition or change. We help the management team implement systems and processes that reduce the friction and disruption which often accompany change.
- Training of staff is provided in collaboration with our sister company, ThinkSayDo.biz. Training available is designed to help teams navigate the diverse South African context and foster excellence in their day-to-day work.
- Coaching for executives, managers and teams is provided by ThinkSayDo.biz who offer a range of programmes to support our talent development interventions.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- CSR Strategy Development answers the questions about how to make your CSR investment worth your time and money. We assist our clients to create a CSR strategy that is aligned to their values and company culture, whilst also being aligned to national and international priorities. In many cases, investment into CSR is also good for a business’ BBBEE score. We help clients navigate this often-confusing space, and also write the necessary policies to ensure that you have a company-relevant framework to lean on in the future.
- Identification of CSR Recipients should not be done on the whim of one- or two-people’s preferences. Using the CSR Strategy as our guide, we research and vet non-profit organisations which meet the client’s specifications.
- Beneficiary Management means that we are the bridge between the recipient of resources and our business client. We ensure that proper reporting is provided and that marketing collateral is gathered, which helps create good business sense for your giving.
