We’re a team of writers and strategists who’ve worked with words for brands, editorial publications and agencies. We know what it takes to create a good story and the impact the right words can have on a business.
We also know what it takes to write a bio that doesn’t send you to sleep (think less university degrees, more snappy, personality-packed details to show what makes us, us).

Sonder(noun)
Have you ever had the sudden realisation that each and every one of us has our own world? That seven billion people experience each day in a different way?
Coined by an American writer called John Koenig, in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, the word ‘sonder’ is defined as “the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own”.
In short, sonder is the understanding that everybody has a story. We’re here to find yours.
