I Speak Your Language

The point is, scientists and engineers speak to each other in certain ways and that only they understand, but this doesn't work so well on marketing materials, particularly social posts. Some scientists and engineers realise this and engage a marketing specialist to write their copy. Except being a marketing specialist doesn't mean you can write in their language.

And this is where I help clients. I get it, I understand their concepts and speak their language while recognising what makes engaging content.

My Transmit package kicks off with a business review followed by a 3-month marketing plan, with relevant sectorial content, based on your ideal client and market segment.
