An annual report copywriter you can trust

Creating your annual report can seem a daunting task. It's a high-profile document, with a great deal at stake, both legally and reputationally. There are many different voices to be heard, a huge amount of data to gather, C-Suite execs to interview, and technical information to cover... and it all has to come together with one voice, in a coherent, compelling narrative. That's what we do, by providing an annual report copywriter you can trust - every time.

Working in partnership

At Alex Genn Copywriting, we believe in a collaborative approach. At the start of the process, we'll allocate a senior-level writer, with specific experience in your sector. You'll work with them one-to-one, and they'll function as an extension of your team. We work closely with your team to understand your goals and gather the necessary data. We'll make sure our methodology and strategy align with your vision and objectives, so we start, and finish 'on the same page'.

 

Our process

We've refined our approach over many years, to ensure a smooth, collaborative process, that doesn't miss anything and always delivers. Here's a brief overview - you can explore our approach in more detail here.

  1. Initial consultation: We kick off by discussing your project in detail. This will enable your annual report copywriter to understand your requirements and objectives in detail.
  2. Collecting and understanding data: The writer will then gather all relevant pre-existing information and analyse it to ensure accuracy and relevance.
  3. Interview process:  Following this, your annual report copywriter will organise and undertake a series of interviews with executives to gather their views, which will form the basis of their statements and letters.
  4. Core message and theme development: In close collaboration, we’ll put together the central theme (core message) of the report.
  5. Writing and feedback: Next, we'll write the report, delivering sections incrementally, so you can feed back, ensuring your expectations are met from the start. Following your feedback the writer will redraft as necessary.
  6. Shareholder letter: Re-interview the Chief Exec, before drafting the letter and addressing any feedback.
  7. Delivery: Your annual report copywriter will ensure the final report is polished, professional, and conforms to your corporate tone of voice.
  8. Finalisation: Finally, our eagle-eyed proofreader will check your annual report, to make sure there are no errors before you publish.
