For Tech Brands
We pair B2C & B2B tech brands with published playwrights, poets and novelists. Unusual? Yes. Unhelpful? No.
We matchmake brands & authors: B2B & B2C
At TWA, we matchmake tech brands with published playwrights, poets and novelists. Work with masters of voice, structure and rhythm in crafting or reviewing your brand's identity, or launching campaigns.
Partner for love, lust or life
What do you get when you cross prize-winning authors with a founder who's spent 5+ years in B2B technology marketing? A value proposition that's bloody hard to articulate.
At this level, you'll receive marketing execution from our sister agency while working with prize-winning authors.
Be matchmade with a poet, playwright or novelist for:
At this level, we work with you to extract the most value from this one-of-a-kind approach to talent and service.
Branding and communications consulting:
At this level, we help breathe life into your communications, leveraging our unique talent and service model.
From Adobe X Bauhaus to George The Poet's work with Snapchat, tech has long had a love affair with older, fustier, more 'prestige' art forms.
There's something titillating about that particular Venn diagram. Digital and analogue. Time-honoured tradition and 'move fast and break stuff'.
In short, we go together like ink and quill. Copy and paste. You and I.It's a naturally curious pairing because, we think, people enjoy the idea of the dizzying heights of progress (you) leaping from culture's most foundational texts (The Iliad, for example — us adjacent).
So, how to give the people what they want?
There are a few ways we can work together.
We go down the route of collaborations between tech brands and artists. This sees our writers — prize-winning poets and très chic pamphleteers — collaborate in a one-off project.
The idea here is to do something like Adobe X Bauhaus. Exploit the tech and written-word angle. Make a scene.
Depending on your vertical, this might mean a piece of online content, interactive media, a real-world experience, or even gated content for a B2B audience.
We have excellent links with creative technologists if you want to take things IRL.
If any of this sounds vague, think, for example, a running app, with poems of encouragement read per traversed kilometre, or a productivity app screen synced with the digital notebook of a real writer.
These kinds of projects are about putting you on the map. Filling feeds. Launching a thousand press releases.
The other way we can help is in a more traditional role, though here too, there's a twist.
We regularly partner with brands as ToV and messaging consultants, enriching voice in ways that marketeers and copywriters simply aren't able to.
This means touching on deeper cultural themes, analysing language more formally, and technically, and in so doing creating the space for something more distinctive.
We might say, for example that the dominant voice in customer-facing tech copy is a sort of performed naïveté.
The techno-solutionism of 'Your Potential. Our Passion.' The cutesy parataxis (the placing of clauses or phrases one after the other without coordination or subordination).
And we might say it's very annoying and played out, and mightn't we come up with something better?
We also absolutely execute, in strategy, channel marketing and content, but we are a team of less than 10, so very large firms are best off integrating us within an existing marketing function or agency partner.
If any of the above sounds enticing, please let us know.
Something old; something new; something borrowed
We matchmake tech brands with prize-winning authors to deliver copy and campaigns far from the wheelhouse of a standard agency.
We're not just a pretty (type) face. From voice of customer research to newer marketing techniques like AI search optimisation, we bring novelty to proven practice.
We seek to add value with a twist wherever it's cried out for. This might mean onboarding materials, key messaging or a social media stunt.
