They were terrific at contributing ideas and delivering quality articles to brief and on time.

We commissioned Sue’s content agency Big on Writing to help with stories for Genesis Energy’s Climate Change Hub  We could assign stories and trust them to get on with it, which took a big load off our shoulders. The stories were extremely well-read, a reflection of the journalistic quality we required.

"They've gone over and above expectations."

"BOW's superpower is their incredible content writers."

"Their writers understand a business need and a consumer need. This ability allows them to deliver content that is fit for purpose but also what a customer needs and importantly wants to read. They understand the complexities in a large organisation and go over and above to solve any road bumps."

Michelle Lumsden

Senior Marketing Manager I Westpac

"BOW are that rare Swiss Army knife every project needs."

"From the start, it was clear this wasn't their first rodeo. Not only are they talented writers, they could set up workflows, project manage, strategise content design, manage the stakeholders(there was many), and even UX/UI design in Figma. Better still, they spoke the same language when it came to the importance of creating conversations with our customers, and we shared an obsession with delivering better, ruthlessly simple experiences."
