Business marketing has changed in this crazy world of social media. We speak in tweets, text-talk, symbols, emojis and memes. No one seems to have time to read proper words and take it all in anymore.

That’s why we have to stay clear and to the point whenever we write. Whether it’s directly to customers about important issues or to a wider audience on social media, using plain English is vital for getting your message across clearly.
