Question 3

What is copywriting?

Accepted Answer

Copywriting is the art and science of crafting compelling and persuasive written content for marketing and advertising purposes. This can include website copy, social media posts, newsletters, or advertising slogans, to name just a few.

At Red Crow Communications, we understand the power of impactful copy in driving engagement, building brand identity, and ultimately converting leads into customers.

Question 4

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to do it all myself?

Accepted Answer

It absolutely would.

It'd also be cheaper for us to redecorate our bathroom by ourselves instead of calling in a specialist.

However six months down the line when the shower is leaking and the towel rail isn't hanging straight, we'd probably be quite annoyed we didn't just put our hand in our pocket and employ the services of someone we know would have done a decent job.

The same applies to the creation of communications, copy and content.

While it may seem cost-effective to handle your own communications needs, working with an expert will ensure that your content is professional, strategic, and effective. It will also save you the time and energy you need to focus on your core business.

Here at Red Crow Communications, we understand the nuances of effective communication and can craft content that aligns with your brand's messaging and goals.

Question 5

What's the meaning behind the name Red Crow Communications?

Accepted Answer

The name Red Crow Communications was chosen by Daniela simply because red is her favourite colour and crows are her favourite animal.

Crows often get a bad rap because they hang around cemeteries, aren't perceived to be 'pretty', and their voices are less of a birdsong and more of a well, crow....

However, like many misunderstood creatures, they have a lot of interesting qualities -

- Crows are super intelligent. If you don't believe us, check out this video.  
- A group of crows is called a "murder". That's pretty cool, right?
- Crows mate for life. 
- When a crow dies, their fellow crows hold a funeral for them.
- They have dialects that vary across regions. 
- They can recognise human faces. 
- The oldest crow was recorded to live to 59 years of age.

Can you tell we quite like crows? They just need better PR. And to stay away from cemeteries.

The colour red signifies passion, love, intensity and energy.

It stands out and that's exactly what we want your communications to do.

Question 6

What's your lead time?

Accepted Answer

Our lead time varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

Ideally, we'd like two weeks to deliver a piece of work.

However, sometimes the world isn't ideal and you needed that blog post yesterday.

We're quite flexible so get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

Question 7

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

If we've worked together before then no, a deposit isn't required.

However, if this is our first time working together, we'll need a 50% deposit in advance with the full balance payable on completion.

We can also work on a retainer basis.

Question 8

Will I own the copyright to the work you do for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As soon as the work is completed and full payment is received, the copyright is yours.

Question 9

Will you sign our NDA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, no problem.

The nature of communications involves being exposed to confidential information on a daily basis so whether we sign an NDA or not, rest assured that we won't discuss your project with anyone.
