Transforming technical content into accessible presentations for FSC

Services:
  • Copyediting, Copywriting, Proofreading

The challenge

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit that sets standards for responsible forest management. It is one of the most widely recognised names in forest management.

FSC produces detailed technical standards and procedures. These documents are essential, but they aren’t written for the companies, investors, forest managers and other market stakeholders who need to understand and act on them. Our role was to turn this content into accessible, informative presentations FSC could share widely.

The solution

We’ve edited and proofread FSC’s technical documents since 2021. More recently, we’ve also produced public-facing summary decks, providing copywriting, editing and design services. We focus on:

  • Distilling dense technical documents into concise decks that draw out the main insights in clear copy and graphics.
  • Shaping the creative concept of each deck and writing in plain English to ensure it works for varied audiences, from corporate sponsors to forest managers.
  • Designing draft visuals, including flowcharts and diagrams, to show technical processes at a glance.
  • Working closely with the FSC team to refine the messaging and visuals. Our most recent deck set out six market uses for ecosystem services projects, with real case studies, pilots and example scenarios.
  • Editing and proofreading every deck in line with FSC’s house style, checking acronyms, spelling and grammar.

What FSC had to say

It was a pleasure working with Tate & Clayburn. They transformed our technical content into clear, engaging and professionally designed presentations. Their thoughtful approach to proofreading, copyediting, and design helped us communicate complex information more effectively to a market-oriented audience including businesses and governments. The presentations became a valuable starting point for developing additional marketing and communication assets, and are now in full use by our teams. We greatly appreciated the team’s attention to detail, flexibility, and ability to understand the nuances of a specialized brief, and would happily recommend them for similar projects.
