Ever said the wrong thing at the wrong time?
Of course you did, we all did – it’s only human!
Still, when interacting with your customers and users, whether digitally or humanly, the random slip of tongue will not be taken lightly and can seriously hurt your reputation, your performance, and your business.
Every word counts!
Our strategic framework aims to identify 5 core elements to help determine the right words for shaping positive and successful customer and user interactions:
Once identified, these 5 elements are translated into a communication blueprint which outlines your entire communication strategy across all the touchpoints – from the main messaging down to the microcopy, to ensure you make the most out of every interaction.
The human instinct and the digital experience
Communication is a human instinct, we constantly communicate with our surrounding – be it other humans, pets, plants, tech devices… In fact, we go beyond verbal communication as we show emotions towards tech devices (seriously, this is researched backed), and expect digital interfaces to communicate back to us, in a human manner: to listen and respond, in context and with the relevant words.
Companies who wish to align themselves to this inevitable user/customer expectation should look beyond just designing user-friendly digital interfaces and start writing human-led digital interactions, to settle the communication between the two.

Setting the right messaging, voice, and tone & style, will help create a more consistent experience and a stronger brand
PRODUCT TEAMS
