Advertising

Advertising. Done well, it gives you and your business, government department or non-profit organization increased exposure among your audience. It can inform and educate but, most importantly, it can persuade. It can get you more business, more members, more donations.

Done not-so-well, it can be costly and a sinkhole of precious time and creative energy.

Does your ad copy have all the critical elements? Does it connect emotionally with the customer? Can you customer see the benefits of your offer? Does your advertising copy explain why they should choose you instead of one of your competitors? Does it finish with a strong call to action?

It will if I write it.

Advertising is far too expensive to take a chance on leaving out an important component. Use the form below or contact me today at ron@ronjette.com or 613-850-5554 (text or talk) to make sure your advertising is on target (and on time and on budget!).

“I know the value of always keeping in contact with my customers—I see it every day—but it is tough to find the time to do it on a regular basis. With their customer contact program, they take care of everything, giving me a highly customized monthly electronic news bulletin that is both useful to my customers and keeps them aware of us and what we offer. Best of all, it costs far less than advertising and other less-targeted ways of reaching our market.”

“As a writer by profession I was reluctant to accept the need for someone else to write for me, but I now recognize the tremendous benefit and value in having a professional do our business writing. I have recommended them to my business clients so they can achieve greater success in their businesses.”

“The writing was strong, positive and benefit-driven. Our expectations were high, their delivery was higher.”

Mike Feinson

“Ron ably assisted me in getting the story of my late father, Dr. Bud Keenan, into the Globe and Mail Lives Lived section. Competition for this column is intense with many more biographies submitted than can be printed. His writing skills succeeded in crafting a story that made for great reading.”

Dr. Dirk Keenan
Keenan Health Centre

“In a short amount of time, the team provided the clinic with a comprehensive communications strategy that dramatically improved the awareness of the clinic to physicians and patients in the community.”

Simon Akinsulie

“Ron was able to take very complex material and turn it quickly into product that we could use to address questions and concerns from a range of stakeholders. He was easy to work with and very accommodating. It was a pleasure to have him on board. He instilled in us a strong sense of confidence—and he didn’t disappoint.”

Valerie Lasher

Suzanne Wert
Orléans–Cumberland Community Resource Centre

“They were able to take my thoughts and translate them into the exact message I wanted to get across, not only to my clients, but to prospective clients, as well. The people were outstanding. I would not hesitate to refer them to anyone who wanted to effectively get their message out. Did I mention they also made it fun?”

Judith Cane
Antara Financial Group

“Please accept my thanks for the dedication and effort you put into Powering Up. We sincerely appreciate that you put far more work into it than either of us intended at the outset. There is no doubt that your commitment to ‘getting it right, no matter what it takes’ has turned our ideas into a platform document we’ll be able to use for years to come.”

He seems to know just what questions to ask to be able to produce high-impact communications with very little involvement from me.”

“All I have to say is WOW, what great content! So straightforward, no fluff, very smart. I am so impressed! But not surprised!”

Julia Borgan
ABORG Computing

“Their editors and writers ensure that our newsletters are not just grammatically correct, but that they have a sense of style that make them easy to read. The reality of tourism economics is that we often have to talk about numbers. Your writer makes sure the numbers are both meaningful and interesting to read.”

Marta Stelmaschuk
The Conference Board of Canada

“He edited a summary report for us on very short notice. After Ron got through what we had provided, it was like a whole different report: clear, concise and professionally modified. He even took the time—under already tight timelines—to edit a series of data tables that gave the report that extra touch. Very impressive. We will definitely not hesitate to use their services again.”

Julio Garasa
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada

“They were not afraid to challenge us or make us think about issues that had an impact on our message. At the same time, they gave us options that helped us move forward.

“The content and advice I received really transformed my website for the better—it was like night and day! I anticipate obtaining many more new clients than I would have had otherwise.

Norman C. Miller

“One of the best things is that they know how to add just enough spice to make even the most basic information interesting and understandable. And no matter how complex or tight the deadline, we always get service with a smile.”

Lise Poissant
Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy

“One thing that is apparent immediately is that the writers have a solid understanding of marketing and of what it takes, specifically, to “sell” our organization. Their enthusiasm is contagious and the advice is always backed up with solid reasoning. It’s a real pleasure to work with them.”

Peter Stewart
Executive Director
Orléans Chamber of Commerce

When we work together, we expect great things and we are never disappointed. I am pleased to recommend them.”

I highly recommend them to business owners looking for a competitive edge. They really helped AGBL tell a true story of worth and value to our customers—a story we would not have been able to convey without this excellent agency.”

Gaetan Buttigieg

Norman C. Miller

“I thought that you’d like to know the reaction to Powering Up has been very positive. Included in this commentary was how clear and effective the messaging is. For example, the Secretary General of an important international agency commented that it was one of the best reports he’d read.

Shirley-Ann George
Canadian Chamber of Commerce

“The team did a terrific job of taking our bare facts, researching the third-party requirements, asking the right questions of us and putting together an award-winning proposal under a very tight deadline. They are easy—and even fun—to work with.

Craig Bater
Augustine Bater Binks

“Our firm first hired the team in the fall of 2011 to write copy and material for our new website being designed at that time. We have hired them since that time on at least two further occasions both for further web work and for other smaller ‘pieces’ because, among other things, their work is catchy, it attracts customers and they are a pleasure to work with.

Gaetan Buttigieg
AGB Lawyers

“The importance of what we had to say is self-evident. The need to deliver this message in a compelling way was essential. Our success on the latter is directly attributable to the many, many hours and talent you put into this report.

Shirley-Ann George
Canadian Chamber of Commerce

“It was a pleasure to work with them. They took my firm’s ideas, brought them to life, polished them and made us shine in our promotional materials. Highly recommended.”

Paul Lewandowski
Criminal Defence Attorney

“Any good writer can use proper grammar and spelling but the writers stand out because they write to sell. Even more than that, they produce text that needs little, if any, revisions—that makes my job a lot easier.
