Editorial Retainers: Your Fastest, Best Path to Messaging Excellence
In any organization, everyone is called upon to write at some level. But some write well and some struggle with it. The problem is that those words — whether in a constituent email, CEO speech, monthly newsletter, or vendor note — can make or break your image with people who have the power to work with your organization or decide not to. And those words take a long time for some people to write. And sometimes when your staff does its own writing, the result is not as polished and powerful as you’d like.
It’s okay to ask for help to get the writing right. An editorial retainer puts the grammar, punctuation and language information you need as close as email or your favorite messaging app.
