New brand experience
Balance is founded on a history of pursuing ideas and breaking new ground. Launches we have been involved in include several national consumer magazines, one of the first ever crowdfunding initiatives, a not-for-profit live music platform and a book series. We’re not afraid of going where no-one has gone before.
Copywriting
Copywriting isn’t just the craft of writing with accurate spelling and grammar. It’s about ideas, research and finding the words to encapsulate often complex messages in succinct and simple sentences. Our copywriting expertise has been used by all the big brands above and continues to help smaller brands punch above their weight.
Content writing
Content is the added value you give your customers in the form of thought leadership articles, explainer blogs, news items, case studies etc. It shows that you know your stuff and helps them to know theirs. If you laid all the content Balance has produced end to end, it would stretch from Redhill to Reykjavik, via the M25.
Book writing
If you’re a publisher looking for an author or packager with experience in sports books, humour books, self-help books, nostalgia books or other books that give us the excuse to repeat the word ‘books’, hit the red button for the Balance portfolio. If you’re an individual or business with a book idea but no idea how to make it happen, call us.
Speech writing
A good speech stays in the memory forever. So does a bad one. Balance can help you stay on the right side of history by crafting a speech that is sincere, compelling, captivating and authentically you. We can coach you through the delivery too.
Script writing
We don’t write Hollywood blockbusters but we do write pithy scripts for short videos, such as explainer videos, instructional videos and promo videos for social media. We work with videographers and producers to bring our scripts to life, delivering the complete package from concept to award.
Content planning
Planning is the key to effective content. Whether it’s your website, a marketing campaign, a book or your entire content strategy, thinking it through in advance leads to more coherent ideas and greater efficiency, which in turn saves cost and time and yields much better results. We plan content every day, from blogs to books, and can help you get your content planning down.
Word of the Week – a Balance book
Sassier than Susie Dent, quirkier than QI, more devilish than Dan Snow, Word of the Week is a gallant foray into the labyrinthine passages of the English language. On the face of it, it’s a weekly column about words, but read beyond the first word and you’ll discover a thrilling assemblage of etymology, trivia, nostalgia, anecdote and historical stuff. Featuring words like Random, Derrick, Trump, So and Pants, Word of the Week is unlike any other study of the English language ever published.
In a good way.
