Narrative underpins all technology marketing decisions
Effective strategy is never based on products alone




What is The Writing Machine?

The Writing Machine is a communications consultancy founded by journalist, Andrew Darling, focused on the strategic needs of companies and organisations within the Information, Communications and Entertainment sectors (ICE).

The Writing Machine is a new kind of consultancy dedicated to understanding and developing the narratives that define the marketing of media and technology services. We apply editorial and commercial intelligence to enable companies to reach their markets by creating strategic campaigns that turn technology into a narrative the market can understand.

The best technology rarely wins - rather, the best technology marketing does. Think how VHS trumped Betamax in the ‘70s. WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3 invented the term “personal productivity” in the ‘80s, but are now just footnotes in history. And Microsoft established its virtual omnipotence not on the strengths of its products, but on its marketing.

The question “Who wins?” becomes bigger than technology – its about context.

With the convergence of the Telecommunications, Media and Technology industries that is occurring now that question is more important than ever. Clients who use The Writing Machine can rely on our tailored research, editorial and communications expertise to compliment their existing strategies in four key areas:

• Business development
• Strategic Planning
• Marketing
• Internal and external communications

We can help small, medium and large companies get their message across. Communicating complex or technical information in a context that is rapidly and effectively absorbed by the intended market.
