Sep. 2019 - Nov. 2020London, United Kingdom⚡“Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional.” — Glenda Cloud⚡ Our clients refer to as the “Uber of Content Writing” because we’ve cracked the code on the type of content that makes any audience tick. We’ve figured out a foolproof way to engineer the content writing process. We build content the way we know works. It all starts with writers who are first language English speakers. Their content performs better. That’s a fact. Because native English writers have a better mastery of their home language, they are able to communicate more effectively, conduct research more thoroughly, display a deeper understanding of the rules that govern grammar and spelling, and understand culture and regional language use.
