What's it like to work with us?
Here’s how our customers describe their experiences
Their clarity and prose illustrated how important good writing is. These learned skills have proven invaluable over time, to become powerful tools of communication and influence.
Working with Serpil and James has been a pleasure. They took care of all of the interviewees to ensure they were comfortable and felt supported. Their questions elicited wonderful insights and the podcast editing process was a dream. The whole process was wonderful and I’m so happy with the outcomes.
Written & Recorded uncovered stories that would have gone untold, found the right characters to bring them to life and then gave good advice to support pitching to media. Serpil and James handled the process admirably throughout; sharing discoveries, discussing new angles and managing stakeholders.
Serpil and James, with patience, skill and good humour, enabled me to launch a cutting edge podcast. I couldn’t be more delighted with the enormously positive response. Serpil is a whizz at story-telling and James a master in first class audio production. They have been partners and cheerleaders on every step of the journey.
Serpil and James are a pleasure to deal with. They quickly grasped the finer details of our business which meant they could tailor their training to our team. We’ve now got a team of designers who are prepared for their next presentation opportunity. I’m looking forward to working with them again.
Serpil and James’ open and genuine approach to the Public Speaking Workshop made me feel at ease. Their considered presentation, including personal insights and anecdotes, clearly explained key points to successfully preparing and delivering a presentation (small or large). There were many easy to remember take-aways that I can readily implement into practice.
The Master Series podcast was only made possible by the expert guidance, knowledge and skill-sets of Serpil and James of Written & Recorded. Their craft has shown me how much of a key role podcasting plays in creating valuable content – podcasting should be embraced as much as possible. Their production is top draw!
We engaged Serpil Senelmis to interview founder and CEO of Australia’s Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Kon Karapanagiotidis, for our 2018 [untitled] Literary Festival. We found Serpil to be a skilful and sensitive interviewer and presenter; prepared, professional and a pleasure to work with. Serpil and James were extremely generous with their time and expertise.
James set up a micro studio and a number of podcasts for my website The Constant Investor. Our first recording was during a large investing conference. He assured me I didn’t need to shout, just let the microphones do the work. James’ recording and editing always made me sound better than I remembered!
Serpil and James undertook a series of writing workshops with the studio. They tailored their presentation to our particular requirements and type of work. They were relevant and led the workshop in an engaging and compelling manner.
Serpil and James bring a freshness and enthusiasm to copywriting that is rare to find. I need a copywriter that writes quickly and on-brief. Written & Recorded deliver every time. They’ve even driven to Ballarat to meet in my office – I haven’t come across many agencies in Melbourne that will do that!
This awesome team helped me launch the Diversity Initiative in our organisation. They explained what needed to happen to get a podcast launched, and make it good quality. Their editing is mind-blowing. The team even went out of their way to launch the podcast on social media, so we are able to leverage wider coverage.
Serpil and James provided me with techniques to think differently about what I was saying, my approach and how to connect with my audience. The main take home was we are all story tellers – believe in what you are saying and your audience will come along with you for the ride.
We’ve had difficulty with copywriters who just don’t get what we do. Written & Recorded bring a journalistic approach to uncovering the story that we want to tell. Not only did they get it, but I could see my words, the way I would express myself, in the copy that they wrote.
I was blown away by how great the public speaking workshop was. As someone who has a real fear of public speaking I was quietly skeptical about how much I would be able to put into practice. I can honestly say that I came away with some brilliant tools to assist my presentations.
