The Challenge

Hundreds of products, dozens of brand voices, one launch date

Carphone Warehouse was investing heavily in digital and needed someone with expertise in web marketing, messaging and SEO to help develop and deploy a new e-commerce website. They needed content production managed across hundreds of products, each stocked brand's tone of voice maintained, and the whole thing delivered on time.

The Solution

Own the voice, then run the production line

Contracted to redefine the tone of voice, write product copy, and manage content creation across the entire website with a team of four writers and two web editors. Worked alongside UX designers, web editors, programmers, and graphic designers throughout.

Pillar 1

Tone of Voice

Modernised the messaging, then balanced it against the tone of every brand they stock, including Samsung, Apple, and LG.

Pillar 2

Content Production at Scale

Managed the writing and editing process across 500+ landing pages, keeping quality and consistency intact across a team and a deadline that did not move. Products included everything from the latest smartphones to smart accessories.

Pillar 3

Path to Purchase

Built the copy to be SEO-friendly and to move buyers forward rather than just describe products, working with the project team to keep the sales journey efficient and easy to follow.
