Case Study

A senior manager with a Hong Kong charity needed help polishing her writing style in preparation for promotion. The focus was on moving away from cliched Hong Kong-English to clearer unambiguous copy. After 6 months, with the manager already successfully owning her new role, it was decided that the goals had been achieved.
