The work we do

In corporate writing, every genre demands its own specialized knowledge. An annual report is one thing, a Flash script something else entirely; and what makes for success in one may be entirely inappropriate in the other.

At Stiff Sentences we make an ongoing study of every genre in which we work—ensuring that, as a team, we have the knowledge and skill to take on any piece of writing and deliver something great.

Over the years, we’ve developed expertise in numerous areas; these are represented broadly by the categories below.

Advanced Technology

See Advanced Technology Samples
For years, Stiff Sentences has been a leading provider of writing services to a vast array of advanced-technology companies, producing everything from highly technical (and subtly promotional) white papers to data sheets, interactive demos, presentations and web pages.

Investor Relations

See Investor Relation Samples
Demanding openness, clarity and carefully nuanced positioning, investor-relations writing is among the most challenging of corporate genres. We’ve distilled our expertise into a set of processes and techniques that get to the heart of what organizations need to say and give those messages precise, persuasive expression.

Digital Media

Flash. The web. CD-ROMs. We’ve been writing digital media virtually since its dawn—and as a result know exactly how to achieve maximum impact with a minimum of words, in accordance with the Neilsen principles of web writing.

Public-sector Communication

See Public Sector Samples
For clients in the public sector—whether federal, provincial or municipal—thoroughness, reliability and accountability are essential prerequisites of a communications partner even before a single word hits the page. Our quality-management system ensures all three; our extensive experience writing on policy and public affairs covers off the rest.

Speeches & Presentations

See Speech and Presentation Samples
Boiled down to its fundamentals, public speaking is the art of making an argument. To excel, we’ve studied classic rhetoricians such as Aristotle and Cicero, adding our own practical experience to their timeless wisdom and developing a proprietary method for producing supremely polished speeches and presentations.
