When the real challenge isn’t writing—it’s alignment...

Whats the meatter with my messaging
Team alignment

Tired of being treated like the 'colouring-in department'?

​​

This isn't about writing prettier copy.

 

Oh no, this is about fixing your messaging framework and turning it into a strategy.

You’ll learn how to design messaging like an architect — building narratives that are stress-tested before they ever leave your desk.

  • Messages that travel across borders and functions without distortion.

  • Ideas that are easy to remember and impossible to misinterpret.

  • Communication that speaks with one clear, decision-ready voice

No more ignored directives.

No more "final_final_v34" drafts waiting for you to fix at 9 PM.

Build a messaging framework you can trust your team to get right every time.

From Boardroom to Buyer:

A 4-day working session to build clear, aligned messaging...

The Rewrite Room is a live, working writing session — not a workshop.​​​​​​​

Your team brings their real messaging into the room and rewrites it, together, in real time.

We identify where it breaks, where it gets diluted, and where it loses meaning across audiences — then rebuild it so it holds.

This is where you stop writing “copy” that only works in perfect conditions…

…and start building messaging that survives being retold, reframed, and passed across teams — staying clear even in fragmented, mobile, skimmed attention.

Your Team's invited...

  • You're tired of seeing a "final_final_v34" draft in your inbox at 8:59 PM.

  • Your CEO’s LinkedIn post sounds like a robot wrote it.

  • Your global mandates are being ignored by regional teams because they "don't get it."

  • You need to prove your department is a revenue engine, not a "colouring-in" department.​

Availability is limited: To ensure the right strategic support for every team, I run only 4 private sessions per quarter. These typically book weeks in advance.

​✅ The "Pre-Session Alignment" Call:

Helps me align the training to your specific leadership goals.

​✅ Before and After Messaging Audit: Move from insight to action

We review together samples of your team’s real communications (internal campaigns and external content) and break down exactly where your messaging gets lost.

​​​

Real-World B2B Examples and Tailored, Hands-On Mini Exercises to get them to their own a-ha moments

Each session includes practical, company-specific activities, from rewriting exercises to clarity drills, that your team can apply instantly to their own messaging.

​✅ The ROI of Clarity

Reduce approval cycles by 30%.

Eliminate the "v12" rewrite loop.

Ensure global alignment in half the time.

DAY 1: FRAME IT:

Setting your messaging up for success

✅  Teaches how to define the core idea and decision-driving insight.

✅  Shows how framing shapes perception and prevents misinterpretation.

✅  Helps participants structure messages around audience priorities, not just content they want to push.

✅ How to ensure your one key insight, takeaway, and emotion (KITE) survives edits, approval layers and the retelling.

✅  Hands-on exercise: Participants create a framed message brief that clearly communicates the “why” and “so what.”

DAY 2: ALIGN IT:

Sorry but it’s not about You

✅  Shows how to connect your key points to what audiences care about (needs, fears, KPIs).

✅  Introduces anchors like context, breadcrumbs, and soundbites to guide comprehension.

✅  Demonstrates how anchoring builds stickiness, so the message is retained even in fragmented attention.

✅  Hands-on exercise: Participants map each message to the audience’s world and identify the anchor points.

DAY 3: SIMPLIFY IT:

Strip away noise. Keep the meaning.
Survive their Third Space fragmented attention

✅  Why less can be more when multiple stakeholders are involved.

✅  Techniques to make your message easy to remember, repeat, and act on.

✅  Teaches how to distill complex ideas into concise takeaways.

✅  Introduces techniques for decision-ready messaging that is easy to scan and remember.

✅  Shows how to maintain meaning while reducing cognitive load, avoiding ambiguity.

✅ Hands-on exercise: Participants edit their messaging while keeping the core insight intact.

DAY 4: TRAVEL IT: 

Can it survive Clare in Finance?

Design for progression, not persuasion: Get the Message Survival Checklist because success isn’t measured by the first reader but the second, third, fourth and fifth. 

✅ Audit your messages so it holds across fragmented third-space attention and second-hand retellings.

✅ Explains how the first reader can make or break a message and how to craft it to survive that first pass.

​✅  Shows how to design messaging that appeals to multiple stakeholders without diluting the meaning.

✅ Teaches how to stress-test messages for risk, edits, and approval layers before rollout.

✅  Hands-on exercise: Participants simulate real-world travel scenarios to test their messages.

By the end, your team walks away with:
  • A repeatable messaging system for future campaigns and initiatives

  • Design messaging that survives multi-audience environments

  • Reduce message distortion across stakeholders

  • Align teams around clear, repeatable messaging

  • Create communication that supports real business decisions

  • Confidence to audit and test their messages to survive internal and external scrutiny

Give your team the strategy and system to craft messaging that drives decisions.

Short FAQ

  • Will this work for our complex organisation?
    Yes. If your messaging moves through multiple approval layers, regional teams, leadership scrutiny, and cross-functional stakeholders, this workshop addresses exactly that environment.

  • What do you need from us? Minimal prep required. Examples of current content and your key communication team members.

  • Is this a writing workshop? No. It's a live, hands-on writing session that goes beyond copywriting or tone of voice. It’s about protecting meaning — so what you say stays clear, even as it moves across teams, layers, and audiences.

  • Is this theoretical or applied? Applied. Your team works on their live messaging priority during each session. No theory decks. No “we’ll apply this later.” Everything happens here.

  • Why is it Virtual?
    Virtual works extremely well for cross-functional global teams and easily replaces your normal weekday meetings

  • How soon do we see results? Most teams see shifts within days —how you talk about your organisation, your next deck, comms meeting, or internal brief will land differently.

My Guarantee (No Fluff Version)

If by the end of the sessions your team can’t clearly explain your message to a colleague in one sentence, we’ll do an extra session — on the house.

Because that’s the whole point.

Thank you so much, Vivien!

I’ve heard great feedback from the team.

Each of us took away some things that we’re using in our writing.

 

We still have a ways to go but the workshop was a solid grounding for the team.

What’s prompting you to consider this right now?
"This changed how we think about messaging."

It was such a pleasure working with Vivien.

 

She made me feel at ease from the beginning and she gave me such grace as she understood this was not my area of expertise.

 

However, she explained it to me with such simplicity that it opened my way of thinking.

 

She actually made this work exciting in a way I never imagined.

 

She is great at what she does and it is my goal to tap into her wisdom every chance I get."

Thanks again

We needed help on how to create greater visibility and increase our global audience via webinars or other marketing initiatives.

Your training regarding segmenting our audience, finding the common villain,  and curating rather than creating was really valuable.
