Combining the technical and promotional results in technically accurate material that both instructs and influences an audience as needed. Corporate Pen provides all three types corporate communication: technical writing, promotional writing and a combination of both (known as high-tech PR writing).

Activities Involving Public Relations
If you have a PR firm or department, Corporate Pen's familiarity with PR processes, rules and requirements can be a real plus. Cathy understands the importance of smoothly coordinating projects, people and deadlines — as well as meeting client requirements. She has experience as a direct employee of a PR firm. PR firms have also been among her clients.

For example, HydroDog™, a start-up company marketing a canine electrolyte drink, received television spots as a result of pitching by Corporate Pen. Similarly, BREAKIRON Animation&Design had a write-up in The Business Journal of Phoenix.

 
Editing Services

An objective third-party evaluation often exposes errors or problems. That's why copyediting services are so valuable. Here are two main areas in which editing plays an important role:

• Final polish: Before it is printed, published or distributed, text should have a final review from an editor for grammar, punctuation and layout. Business communication always benefits from a “second set of eyes."
• Repurposed information: Sometimes revising existing text is more efficient and less expensive than creating new content from scratch. This depends on the type of modifications required. Corporate Pen is pleased to provide editing services that cover grammar, punctuation, changes in products or services, and/or changes in messaging or positioning.

 Writer Training Services

You ask, "How do I write a case study?" or, "What are the basic elements of a press release?" or, "What goes into a convincing promotional white paper?"

You or a staff member might want to learn how to write or edit materials—or simply improve existing skills. Ask Cathy about writer training. Corporate Pen offers two options:

• General training: This covers various types of documents and projects, as well as grammar consulting, on an as-needed basis.
