VISION
"A kick ass and chew bubblegum approach to a fun and engaging website that helps find 'my people'."
"I need something that translates my brain into readable and digestible content. Something fun to engage with. It must speak outloud and be a bit quirky."
Interviews with Mike's clients and 1:1 calls with the man himself revealed that his approach combined personal connection, explosive creativity, storytelling and playfulness.
"I need something that translates my brain into readable and digestible content. Something fun to engage with. It must speak outloud and be a bit quirky."

*We later assigned meaning to the terms videography, cinematography and movies to more accurately reflect Mike's work.
From the moment Michael reached out, I thought, this bloke is a good egg. One watch of his work, and I was in awe of his creative foresight, technical ability and talents for transporting viewers to another place.
With a background in drama, pizza store ownership and a perchant for fantasy, we got to work uncovering and articulating his original approach to wedding videography.*
Copy leaned into the values of love, creativity and rebellion. As well as personality attributes such as cheekiness, passion and humanness. This lead to the personification of different elements of Michael's approach (The Fox, The Owl and The Archer).
Brand visuals were created by Brodie-Rose Creative. Her brilliance meant we had the opportunity to have custom graphics created to represent different brand references (like film, video and cinema).
Aligned with Bow & Ribbons' offbeat films and disruptive personality, we proposed that the website scroll left to right (rather than top to bottom). This offers an element of surprise and delight from first interraction. Each page's header is designed to then invite the website visitor to click the button below to expand its innards.

"To grow. We grew year on year for 10 years. We crave better conversions and happy clients."
"We need to match our new colourful branding. I feel like I've played it very safe and 'professional' for a while now. I'm ready to have some fun in a professional manner."
Surveys with clients revealed the importance of purchasing from a small business, their genuinely effective Australian ingredients, vegan formulations and low minimum order quantities (MOQs) as well as business training.

Caryna got in touch after being referred to Readcity by Oh My Digital. Private Label Skin Care (PLSC) were also working with April of By April on their visual brand.
With 10+ years skin in the game, PLSC are Australia's pioneering white label skin care business. The brand's founder, Caryna was looking to refresh the brand's visuals and voice.
We began by surveying Caryna's clients to uncover why they chose PLSC over others, as well as why they've stayed and standout features. These insights guided our entire messaging.
The brand voice was then developed before being sent to April to design the visual brand. Website copy followed, including a new naming and positioning of 'Biz in a Box.'
By applying conversion strategies to the website layout and language Caryna has "seen a huge increase in the number of clients going straight t buying products over sampling us first. This indicates a new level of trust and confidence in our clients we haven't seen before!" (Quote as supplied and paraphrased by April Co from Caryna Khan.)
Once our original project of voice and website was complete, Caryna requested her product descriptions be written. I optimised these for SEO to assist with Google exposure.
An abandoned cart email sequence was also requested and resulted in a 2966% return on investment in the first 30 days.
Three sales sequences were also written for EOFY, Black Friday and Boxing Day. While the second two sequences are awaiting their calendar dates to send, the EOFY sequence saw a return on investment of 8883%.

"My primary goal for the future of the company is to modernize our digital footprint on the web and bring on new opportunities for our company."
"I really want to go with more of a sassy and fun approach and the events website we want to create stimulating copy but also non offensive as every event is a family friendly event."
By speaking with dream attendees and stall holders we uncovered the love for experience. Not only in the event itself, but in the lead up to, the discovery of and the brand as a whole creating mystery and buzz. The documentary The Institute inspired our explore of experience.

"Experience the undiscovered. Tucked behind buildings. And hidden in conversation. Perched atop roofs. And sizzled in woks. The kind that unlock something new in you.
Dream a little. Immerse. Explore.

"We’re not in the business of events. We’re in the business of satisfying your curiosity, tickling your senses and curating lasting memories you’ll happily cheers to again and again (and again)."

"What events graze the horizon? Good question. Expect vintage car expos. Thirst-quenching wine festivals. A secret psychedelic street experience (I’ve said too much)."

"Did we mention the pumpkins? Not just any pumpkins. Big pumpkins. Ginormous. I mean, like, the biggest pumpkins in the whole world! No joke. You could sleep on these pumpkins. Give them a little pat and rest your head on their stems. Tell them you love them. A lot. Because you do. And so do we."
"Readcity Writing was by far the best thing since sliced bread. We began our search for a copywriter who was edgy and capable of writing in a modern style. Our goal was sassy, but not offensive, timeless but not aged; and the second we began discussing the project we knew we found the right person to help us achieve the direction we were looking for. Not only did we get what we were looking for in our final deliverables, but Read City Writing truly went above and beyond providing things we weren't even expecting.
Your unparalleled talent in thinking creatively, but also being able to utilize psychology as a backbone to your writing was inspiring. Everything was executed in such a perfect form that I have nothing I could ever thinking of adding. You definitely went above and beyond in my opinion offering not just creative writing but examples and ideas of how to utilize a new direction for the brand and even fun approaches to things we had not thought of. After working with Read City Writing, it has inspired me to look into what other possibilities there are for taking our business to the next step, and many of the ideas provided through our conversations have been a tremendous help."
I'm a psychological science graduate and acquired brain injury specialist turned full-time word jigger. It's of my belief that every original, memorable brand must have a killer brand voice in their backstage greenroom. This is how we craft captivating, conversion-ready website and launch copy worth shoutin' about.
Wanna rock original lyrics, rhythm and conversion-ready messages like a catchy riff that leads dream peeps straight to you?
