Successful editing and proofreading projects

Thought leadership editing and proofreading

It is crucial to global consulting firm EY that its thought leadership content reflects its business leadership, knowledge and brand values. Hence, content must be consistent in style and tone with the firm’s corporate voice and also importantly, be free of typographical, grammatical and punctuation errors that could damage its reputation.

Proof Communications worked with EY’s Sydney office on the firm’s thought leadership articles, which cover analysis of economic, business and social matters of interest to EY’s clients in Asia Pacific.

We edited the draft articles to ensure that the ‘voice’ of the content was consistent throughout with EY’s house style. We carefully reviewed the content to ensure that all terms, bullet points and headings were presented consistently. As well, we edited the content to delete superfluous words, and restructured sentences and paragraphs to improve the flow. It was important to do this without changing the authors’ meaning, data or interpretation.

Lastly, we proofread the final draft versions to ensure the content was word perfect.

Our expert editing ensured that EY’s content represented the firm’s values and that its partners’ expert insights were shared clearly and succinctly in an informative format.

Industry report proofreading

After months of preparation, it is only appropriate that global consulting firm KPMG’s banking and finance industry reports are accurate in terms of English language punctuation, spelling and grammar and are consistent in their presentation of terms and data.

Proof Communications carefully proofread one of KPMG’s major reports, which presented careful performance analysis of the key players in the banking and finance industry.

We identified inconsistencies and typographical errors, as well as grammatical and punctuation mistakes, which would have impacted the meaning and interpretation of the content, potentially leading to red faces.

Our professional proofreading ensured KPMG published a very high quality report, with accurate and timely content.

Thought leadership copywriting, editing and proofreading

Fragomen is one of the world’s largest immigration law firms with offices worldwide. Its knowledge and expertise is widely shared via the firm’s thought leadership content, which is regularly published online and distributed via local e-newsletters.

We were engaged to copywrite regular thought leadership content for the firm’s practice leaders throughout Asia Pacific. Following the review of the drafts by the firm’s regional practice leaders, many of whom do not have English as their first language, we undertook editing and proofreading of the content.

We incorporated changes proposed by the leaders whilst ensuring that the content was correct in terms of UK English, flowed seamlessly and was interesting and informative for the firm’s clients.

As a result of our copywriting, editing and proofreading, Fragomen’s thought leadership content was free of errors and presented informative, appealing content that demonstrated Fragomen’s expertise as an immigration law firm.

Copywriting, editing and proofreading case studies for websites, tenders and proposals

Canon Australia is part of the global Canon company recognised globally for its innovative, robust cameras, copiers and printers.

Canon Australia commissioned us to write, edit and proofread a series of case studies on the company’s business enterprise products. This required us to conduct in-depth interviews with Canon’s clients and the respective Canon team member to identify the unique feature to be presented in each piece.

After drafting each 700-word case study, we subsequently incorporated Canon’s edits, ensuring that each spoke with the same tone and voice, and that the content flowed and was free of errors.

Canon was able to confidentially leverage the case studies across different marketing opportunities, including tenders, proposals and websites, knowing that the thoroughness of each example presented the company’s expertise and high quality products in a compelling manner.
