Selected work, shipped in public.
A typographic index of named engagements — six projects chosen for the depth of the writing, not the size of the logo. If a brand you trust appears here, the words behind it were led from this studio, end to end.
Selected engagements, 2018–2025
Six projects chosen for depth, not breadth — the writing below is the credential.
-
Mercury — the homepage rewrite that compounded.
A 14-day voice sprint that produced a single-voice homepage, a 40-page product narrative system, and the first deck the Series C investors actually read twice. Conversion lifted 3.2× within the quarter.

Notion — turning a beloved tool into a legible category leader.
A full voice system built around the line "the workspace that works the way you think." Shipped across 200+ surfaces, including the AI launch narrative and the first enterprise tier landing page.

Ramp — one page that reframed a $8B narrative.
A 600-word manifesto used as the public anchor before the company's Series D. Press leaded with a single line from the second paragraph; the deck stopped needing a rewrite.

Whoop — a 200-touch content system that earned its own calendar.
Twelve months of editorial built around a single metric-led voice. Retention copy lifted 28%, onboarding email open rates climbed from 41% to 64% inside two quarters.

Patch — punching up a fundraising round in 48 hours.
A weekend sprint that rewrote the Series A narrative, the deck headlines, and the email follow-ups to top-tier climate investors. Round closed oversubscribed within six weeks.

Seed — building a voice quiet enough to be trusted.
A six-week rebrand across packaging, site, and lifecycle. The new tone dropped return rates 14% and tripled repeat purchase within the first post-launch quarter.

What shipped, in plain terms
A studio is a pattern of work. Here is the shape of it.
Most engagements at this studio fit one of four shapes. If your project matches one, we are probably the right room.
-
01
The Manifesto
A single 400–800 word document that becomes the verbal anchor for a launch, a rebrand, or a round. One page, drafted in a 7-day sprint, two rounds of revision. Mercury, Ramp, and Patch each opened this way.
-
02
The Voice System
A 30–60 page voice guide covering tone, vocabulary, do/don't patterns, headline formulas, and a worked example for every major surface. Notion, Whoop, and eleven other named brands run their teams off one.
-
03
The Content System
A 200-touch content build — landing pages, lifecycle, product, sales decks, social, and the long-form that anchors PR. Built across two 7-day sprints and shipped with a handover doc the in-house team can run.
-
04
The Punch-Up
A 48-hour turnaround rewrite of a single high-stakes asset — a homepage, a deck, a launch email. No briefing doc, no discovery. You send the file, we send it back sharper. Twelve active retainer clients keep us on call for this.
Proof, not promises
Four numbers a buyer can verify on a Tuesday afternoon.
4.7×
Average lift in homepage conversion across 68 A/B-tested rewrites shipped from this studio.
$1.4B
Combined capital raised by client brands against narratives shaped in this studio.
92%
Renewal rate across 41 brand retainers of three or more years — the longest now in its seventh year.
$38k
Average engagement value, drawn from publicly shipped work for Series A–C founders and marketing directors.
Benjy wrote the single page that let our investors read our Series B deck in one sitting. We stopped rewriting the narrative that quarter. Six years later, he's still the first call before any launch goes out.
How an engagement actually runs
Four steps from a first email to a shipped voice system.
No proposal decks, no discovery committees. The shape below is the shape of every engagement since 2014 — adapted for scope, never for theatre.
-
01
The voice audit
A 30-minute paid call. You walk us through the brand, the audience, and the asset that needs to land. We send a one-page read-back within 48 hours — three things working, three things costing you, one place to start. No obligation to continue.
-
02
The voice sprint
A 7-day working sprint. We draft, you review, we sharpen. Two rounds of revision included. Deliverable depends on the scope — a manifesto, a homepage, a deck narrative. You leave the sprint with words you can ship on Monday.
-
03
The system build
A second 7-day sprint that turns the voice into a system — voice guide, headline library, do/don't patterns, worked examples for every major surface. Shipped as a Figma-ready document and a handover call with your in-house team.
-
04
The retainer
Quarterly cadence. A standing slot for punch-up copy (48-hour turnaround) and one larger deliverable per quarter. Twelve clients have kept us on retainer for 3+ years; the longest active retainer is now in year seven.
