Here it is – our take-it-in-turns story from the creative (and barmy) brains at Word Monster. Rules: There aren’t any. Each person writes the next section of story and can introduce whatever the frick they like. And in the beginning….. Laura L: Toothy had been hard at work for hours. His desk was a mug […]

I have five golden tickets to award to the brightest, boldest and chompiest medical writers. Each golden ticket will bring merriment, mystery and monstrous perks like free massages and a healthy work/life balance. […]

The “science” part led him to move to Cornwall to get a PhD in biology, and the “communication” part drove him to run science chat shows […]

Now that most of us are working from home, it’s more important than ever to keep yourself safe online. After all, hackers now have more people to target. We’ve worked remotely since Word Monster began, so we’ve implemented strict procedures and protocols to keep us and our data safe. Here are a few simple things […]

It’s the morning after the night before. You’ve checked. You’ve chased. You’ve hustled. It’s 09:32 and you’re still waiting for it. Your brief. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. You can’t chase again, can you? You’ll be pestering them. Yes, better not. I’ll put the kettle on and wait. Okay, better make myself useful. “Hey troop, is […]

LEGO is great fun. But for those people adjusting to barefoot home-working life, a LEGO brick can be the thing of nightmares. It only takes one incident of stepping on a LEGO brick to scar your brain with a memory that will stick with you for life. The searing pain felt when the nubs of […]

Many companies are beginning to see virtual reality (VR) as a powerful business tool. And our clients are asking about virtual and augmented reality more so than ever before… for use at exhibitions, for bespoke learning environments and for showing people what it can be like to live with symptoms of a disease. So it […]

Are you working late again? Have a project that you can’t see the light on? Or are the projects just coming in too thick and fast? We’ve all been there – up all night thinking ‘how the what now!?’ is this ever going to happen. Looming deadlines can be the thing of nightmares. But for […]

We sexed up* this brief to the max-core. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Getting to know your clients personally is so important. It builds trust and creates an open, two-way relationship. It not only makes it more fun for everyone each time you pick up the phone or send an […]

The man behind the monster As featured on ProCopywriters Company Spotlight When and why did you start Word Monster? We hit the medical communications scene in 2016 as a lean, mean, solo copywriting machine. But I’d always planned to start a full-blown agency, as soon as I ruddy well could. Working in-house, I started to notice […]

You’re 2 in a million, Harry. It’s okay to be unique. It’s okay to be you. Harry has come on leaps and bounds in the last year. He’s even started a couple of days a week at nursery! We’re marking Rare Disease Day with a topical trip to Southampton Hospital for a neurology appointment. We’ve […]

Be brave they said. Be honest they said. So, this is the story, all about how, my life got twisted upside down. Wait, who let Will Smith in here…? Get outta here. You too, Carlton. This story is actually sang to the beat of Lukas Graham – 7 Years. Listening to the 7 Years song will help […]

We may be small, but we think big. We may not share the same office space, but we all share the same vision, work ethos and – perhaps the most important of all – a ruddy good laugh. Word Monster was founded on the basis of delivering exceptional work for our clients, while understanding that […]

We’re an enormous fan of freedom in the workplace, so there are only three things to remember: 1) Write With Bite (so we do great work and continue to build our reputation) 2) Write for 7.5 hours every day, and no more [unless you’re particularly keen for paid overtime] (so we get paid) 3) Keep […]
