Jamie & Dan say hello
THERE’S A STAGGERING AMOUNT OF THINGS WE DON’T UNDERSTAND: EGGS, STRING THEORY AND PEOPLE WHO SAY “EXPRESSO”. BUT WE DO UNDERSTAND BRAND VOICE.

The hows and whys of The Way With Words
Jamie and Dan met while freelancing for the same company in London. Jamie was awed by Dan’s expansive knowledge of digital marketing. Dan was struck by Jamie’s annoying and arguably unhealthy obsession with finding the right words. (It’s a copywriter’s prerogative.) Together we are bound through a shared love of hating dull brand stories.
We know that modern consumers are too savvy for the slick salesy shtick. We know that cutesy copy without purpose is just trite. We know that haggard corporate jargon is only useful as a remedy for insomnia. Together we get giddy for helping brands find their attitude and communicate with purpose.
We do it from Exeter (top cathedral) and Bristol (top music).
