Your webinar host

I'm Raegan (but you can call me Reggie), a freelance writer and the creator of Gold-Standard Writing Guidelines. I've worked in enough marketing and communications roles to tell you that more companies need writing guidelines. They're often treated as a nice-to-have, when really they're a need-to-have, especially if your strategy includes content marketing.With my 10 years of writing experience, custom template and proven strategy, I can help you finally create writing and communications guidelines.


When implemented correctly, this is what writing guidelines can do for your company:

😊 IMPROVE EMPLOYEE SATISFACTIONWriting guidelines reduce frustration, decision fatigue and conflict.This leads toβ€¦πŸ‘‰ 10-20% higher employee retention and satisfaction in roles related to content productionπŸ‘‰ A 30-40% reduction in burnout amongst β€œbrand keepers” (the people who have the brand living in their heads)


πŸš€ IMPROVE EFFICIENCYCompiling a single source of truth empowers anyone who writes for the brand to produce on-brand writing independently.This leads toβ€¦πŸ‘‰ 40-60% fewer revisions (and fewer bottlenecks as a result!)πŸ‘‰ 20-30% more contentπŸ‘‰ Up to 25% less time spent writing first draftsπŸ‘‰ New hires producing quality content independently 2X faster


πŸ‘ IMPROVE MARKETING ENGAGEMENTWriting guidelines help establish better brand consistency (messaging, voice) and increase writing quality so you can take more creative risks and build more trust with your audience.This leads toβ€¦πŸ‘‰ 15-20% more email opens and clicksπŸ‘‰ 20-25% more social media engagementπŸ‘‰ 10-15% more website conversions

So trust me when I say, I know your struggle and can help you create guidelines, no matter how complicated you think your industry/company may be.
My template is based on my 10 years of experience as a professional writer, creating and using countless communications/writing/brand guides.
