Most organisations would never dream of allowing the imagery used on their website or brochures to be left to chance.
However, when it comes to the language used in written and verbal communication, only around a third of UK businesses have invested time and effort into their tone of voice.
And yet, the words you use make a huge impact on how you’re perceived, so investing in your brand voice could give you a significant advantage over the majority of companies who are lost in a sea of sameness.
