content strategy & Tone of Voice Development

A potted indoor plant with dark green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with prominent veins, placed on a surface against a textured dark wall background.

I was brought in as a freelance consultant to strengthen the brand’s voice and digital presence through the implementation of a targeted content strategy.

Working closely with the team, I firstly developed SEO-optimised blog content guided by key content pillars to improve search visibility and rankings. Then I created email campaigns to build brand awareness and delivered a tone of voice framework that would help the team deliver consistent messaging across all channels.


With a new framework in place, we strengthened the brand identity, saw improved search discoverability and laid the groundwork for long-term growth and engagement.

Text panel with the heading 'Bring nature into your home.' and paragraphs describing Forest, a family-run plant business founded in 2013, with locations in East Dulwich and Deptford. The content emphasizes their passion for high-quality houseplants and sustainable brands, and mentions Alice Bailey, a horticulturalist. It also discusses their sourcing practices and commitment to customer satisfaction.

The homepage copy sharpened the brand’s deep expertise, quickly capturing audience attention on their landing page. Whilst SEO-led blog content built trust by translating that expertise into practical advice, improving discoverability and contributing to a 58% increase in website traffic.
