WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Merck Sharp & Dohme (Australia)
““My team is part of a global pharmaceutical company. We write submissions to government requesting funding for new medicines. Tony has improved the quality of our writing dramatically over the past year.
Before working with Tony we struggled to cut through the complexity of the information we present in our submissions. At its worst, our writing was dense, clumsy and unpersuasive. At the outset, Tony worked hard to sell the value of elegant writing to us – a hard task in a team of scientifically-trained sceptics! He has taken us through the elements of persuasive language, covering structure, style, reasoned argument and editing.
“Good writing is hard work and Tony is a demanding coach. He gives candid feedback if our work is not up to scratch and spends significant time with us as we finalise the arguments in our submissions. There is no question that we have reaped a substantial dividend from our time with Tony, not only in delivering good documents, but also in achieving great results.
“I have no reservations in recommending Tony to any business that depends on good writing.”
Christian Sellars, Director, Market Access & Policy, Merck Sharp & Dohme (Australia).
University of Western Sydney
“Researchers applying for grants need to convey clearly what they are researching and why it is important. That means using a different kind of language to that of academic journals. Express Editors’ course Boost your business writing skills helped many of our researchers to improve the persuasive power of their grant applications. Presenter Tony Spencer-Smith customised the course for our precise needs, and provided one-on-one feedback to the participants, making for an enjoyable and successful day of training.”
Annette McLaren, Senior Project Development Manager, Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research), University of Western Sydney.
Westpac
"We at Westpac knew Debbie Neale’s performance as business development manager in our Mortgage Broker Distribution division was exceptional enough to win national honours.
"But winning awards is also about the quality of your submissions to the judges. That’s why we called in writer Tony Spencer-Smith of Express Editors to tell the story of Debbie’s remarkable achievements in her submission for the 2010 Australian Mortgage Awards.
"When Debbie won not only the Bank BDM of the Year award but also Australian BDM of the Year, we asked Tony to write her submission for the biggest award of all, the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia award for BDM of the Year.
"She scooped this award in March 2011, the first person ever to win all three major national industry awards in her field.
"Congratulations to Debbie – and to Tony for his powerful submissions."
Neville Anitelea, Senior Manager, Communications and Marketing, Mortgage Broker Division, Specialist Mortgage Sales, Westpac.
Endless Rewards
Endless Rewards runs loyalty and customer relationship management programs for retailers around the world. When we redesigned our website in terms of our new brand strategy, we asked Express Editors to edit and where necessary rewrite our web copy to match the new look. The result was concise and engaging copy that shows exactly how we differ from our rivals.
