Leonie Canham | Creative Director


To me, words are THE most powerful vehicle for connecting, inspiring and creating positive change in the world and I believe wholeheartedly that we all have a responsibility to take greater care of the impact our words have inside our own heads, and on the lives of all those we encounter.

Our Mission
At TSW, we take away the content marketing overwhelm.
We help our clients get clear on their messaging and then create beautiful copy that captures their brand essence, connects with their customers, builds trust in their offerings and attracts loyal, repeat clients. We help them uncover, share and celebrate the unique and inspiring stories that live within their brand.
In doing so, we give our clients back their most precious resource – their time. Time to focus on their priorities, to be more proactive in their work, to feel more present with family and friends, and to do more of what truly lights them up.
Like to work with us?
First, let’s see if we make a good fit…….
- Do you value the impact that top quality content has on your brand, engagement and bottom-line, but lack the time, skill or strategic know-how to do it yourself?
- Do you know what you want to say, but struggle to say it in a way that doesn’t sound pushy or salesy?
- Is your content and messaging lacking strategy, substance and consistency because you don’t have a clear brand story guiding who you are and why you do what you do?
- Do you know in your heart that your business is about something bigger than just the product or service you provide, but you can’t seem to dial in your purpose-driven brand story?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed by the amount of content you need to create to ‘keep up’ with your competitors?
- When you sit down to write about your business, do you get stuck in content paralysis?
- Is your content creation taking up way too much precious time that would be better spent actually running your business?
If you answered yes to any of the above, we can absolutely help…….
We craft unique and compelling copy for pretty much any platform or purpose you can dream up.
This is our signature service. Wanna know why?
Because your brand story is your secret weapon for standing out in a crowded marketplace.
Copywriting and brand storytelling is our jam.
At The Splendid Word, we write captivating copy for brands that helps them connect authentically with their customers.
Consistency is key when it comes to using social media to build your digital footprint and get your message out.
And consistency is almost impossible to achieve without a plan.
