Get Brand Smart
One-to-one Comms Coaching whenever you need professional advice and support.
Who needs Comms Coaching?
Are you a small business owner or running a bijou company?
When you’re a small organisation with lots of ideas but want to retain complete control over your brand and communications accessing professional help and support can be tricky. Comms Coaching will enable you to go at you own pace and comes to Wordsby to fill in any language, strategic or design skills gaps when undertaking brand development, reinvigorating marketing campaigns and pitching for new work or funding.
Starting a new venture but not ready to be a start-up quite yet?
Amy is a great a sounding board and mentor. Sometimes, entrepreneurs aren’t quite ready to turn their brand into a reality and need time to explore their ideas and be given homework to lay the foundations for their concept over time. Often clients in this position are balancing a job and family life as well as developing a start-up business. Taking this approach minimises the risk of a new business, builds confidence and breaks down branding and marketing activity into manageable tasks.
Can we still be friends?
Often when we work with people it’s natural they want to continue developing their marketing skills to take their business to the next level. Some of our long-term clients book a session with Amy to learn more about how to write content, use social media or increase their PR. Many of our clients work alone or in small teams and bring in Wordsby to increase their capacity and skills set when working on a new project or marketing campaign making us their ad-hoc creative team.

What help do we offer?
Every client is different but the most common issues where people need a little extra advice and support beyond branding is in:
Knowing how to best use social media
Do you feel that customers are going to be a little underwhelmed by your website? Are Twitter and Facebook just not working for you? OK, here’s the thing, for most businesses, social media and your website are a great way to create ongoing stories, conversations and news about your products and services. Yes, on the whole they’re free, but what’s not free is your time. Digital communications must have a purpose, an audience and something to say. We can look at the best ways for you to get social and maximise the time you spend online – because time really is money.

After a little time with Amy you can return to your office feeling clear, confident and in control of your next big communications challenge.
Client Recommendations
“As a small charity it was invaluable for us to work with someone who so honestly told us what we could do ourselves as well as what they could do for us. Wordsby helped write our new copy, develop corporate and funding pitches and provided strategic mentoring support. The work was especially good value for money because we have gained a lot of skills ourselves in the process and are now more confident and equipped.”
Rachel Roberts, The Phoenix Trust
“We approached Wordsby to get some training in social media. After Amy reviewed our existing communications we realised that we actually needed to have more solid ground work to get the most from our communications. We explored who our audience is and what we offer. Then we were ready to plan and create content for our social media activity.
We approached Wordsby for some very concrete outputs but have received back much more in the form of advice, coaching, ideas, support, friendship, and most importantly confidence in creating and executing our own communication plans.”
Liza Zogib, Diversearth
“When you start branding your business it’s like walking through a maze and without guidance about what makes your business special you will get lost. Working with Amy is like having a guiding hand so you get to the centre of the maze in the most efficient way. You’re good at handholding and giving a lot of free information that I couldn’t have got anywhere else. I know I can always come to you for support.”
