A few examples…
Promotional/Technical Writing
We believe content comes first in technical marketing communications.
Because without clear, compelling content, your great story can end up being just pretty pictures.
A quick case history
Working with a client’s technical, regulatory and legal teams, Holbrook created a “promotional white paper” that helped explain a new-to-the-world fire extinguishing chemistry designed to replace ozone-depleting halon.
The paper established a positioning around “business sustainability”… using clear, compelling writing to convey complex relationships between emerging regulatory climates and the environmental properties of fire protection chemistries.
This paper helped secure the client’s partnership with some of the nation’s leading fire protection system OEMs…and formed the basis for all subsequent market communications.
Sales & Technical Literature
Understanding your products, customers, competition and markets helps us to work quickly and effectively, whether creating a brochure or a complete identity system.
