Writing

Down to earth

At twoday, we want our language to be simple, down-to-earth and easy to understand. It’s a reflection of what we value: equality, teamwork and cooperation between people. We choose the less complex terminology wherever possible, and try to avoid expressions that may confuse the reader. Our focus is not to seem clever or superior, but rather relatable and capable. We use a conversational, inclusive tone, always attentive to the audience we have in mind. We use proper grammar and spelling, and aim for sentences that are concise and not overly long.

Description:

Simple, easy to understand and relatable - we want everyone, including people who are not a part of our field, to understand our solutions, value and contribution to society.

Do:

• Choose the less complex terminology wherever possible
• Envision the audience when you write, be inclusive and conversational
• Use concise and not overly long sentences
  
  

Don't:

• Don’t brag
• Don’t communicate to impress your colleagues
• Don’t use internal language/jargon unless it’s necessary to convey specific meaning

Dedicated

We want our language to represent the true enthusiasm and dedication that our people share. We choose words like “we” and “together”, and use active verbs wherever possible. “twoday” represents drive, presence, availability and a trust that we always deliver. We are a community-oriented, forward thinking group that works with new technology to create a better future. We highlight customer stories to demonstrate our abilities. These are the proof points of our innovative and cutting edge work. We are not afraid to lift our perspective and communicate how our work has an impact on a social level, but we never brag about ourselves. We talk about what we have accomplished together with our customer. Wherever possible we include quotes from our partners and customers, and let them tell the audience why we are a leading vendor and an attractive employer. We emphasise our joint efforts and back up our visions and claims with data and facts.
