Quietroom

The better you are at using
words, the better you are at
making money.

Ask any sales person or street performer. Ask an entrepreneur. The way you talk to people shapes the result you get.

Quietroom helps brands realise the value of words.

We help brands define how they use words, we write for them and we help their people use words more powerfully.

brand language consultants


Clients come to us when:

  • they’ve got a great idea that they wish they could explain better
  • they can get their point across in 13 pages but not in 3 words
  • their strategy gets everyone’s heads nodding, but no one’s toes tapping
  • they’re stuck in a way of talking that isn’t working

We help them make the right choices: one word, one message over another. By doing that, we help them build a stronger bottom line.

Why speaking English can make you poor when you retire

English-speakers are more obliged than others to separate future events from present ones, through the tenses in our language. Does this make us less likely to save? This guy thinks so.
