Tone of VoiceLook around the office. The way we speak here, and to our clients, is how we

speak on external channels. We are a punk digital agency, not McKinzey.

A motley crew run by creativity and emotions. Let that show in the way we speak.

We can however stick to some simple rules in our different outputs:

Twitter - Be on point and direct.

Facebook - Keep it short and snappy.

Linked In - Mature and businesslike.

of each platform.
