Why work with us?

Transform your team’s writing skills — don’t just talk about them — with our writing training.

1. Get data-driven insights.

Have you grown tired of writing trainers who rehash writing 101 concepts? Who share their gut instincts, without any data? Who talk conceptually about writing but never deliver tactics?

So have we. That’s why we focus on current best practices based on proven-in-the-lab research.

2. Create world-class communications.

Learn the techniques that Ann used to create a communication channel for Hallmark that was named best in the world by IABC.

Ann’s work has earned more than 60 communication awards, including two IABC Gold Quills — the Pulitzer Prizes of corporate communications.

3. Put yourself in good company.

Ann’s training has taken her from Hollywood to Helsinki, helping thousands of communicators in hundreds of companies.

She helps communicators at companies like Coca-Cola, Toyota, Eli Lilly and Salesforce polish their skills and find new inspiration for their work.

4. Master skills; don’t just hear about them.

Go beyond lectures and slide decks in our immersive learning environments.

Learn, practice, get feedback, then watch and grow as Ann transforms your writing in live coaching and editing sessions.

What you’ll learn

In our training workshops you’ll learn how to:

Write Better, Easier and Faster. Save time and avoid effort in our writing-process training. Plus, learn how to get more done in less time in our AI-writing workshops.

Catch Your Readers. Get your audience members to read what you want them to read and do what you want them to do in our persuasive-writing and marketing-writing workshops.

Get Opened, Read, Clicked & Shared. Boost analytics — and the bottom line — in our digital-writing workshops. Or focus on a single channel: email, websites or social media.

Go Beyond PR 101. Get more coverage when you steal techniques from award-winning campaigns and benchmark executive quotes against The New York Times.

Master the Art of Storytelling. Reach readers’ hearts as well as their minds when you use techniques like storytelling, human interest and juicy details to bring your messages to life.

Cut Through the Clutter. Make every piece you write easier to read and understand. Write tight, bright messages with cool tech tools and techniques based on 130 years of readability research.

Go Beyond the Inverted Pyramid. Master a structure that’s been proven in the lab to outperform the traditional news structure. Grab reader attention with compelling leads & more.

Write Better Headlines, Links, Lists, CTAs and more. Reach the huge and growing number of “readers” who don’t read your paragraphs through microcontent and display copy.
