Problem

The idea of helpfulness started from an insight from Google’s Brandgeist that became an incredibly successful brand campaign. As the concept expanded to other Google brands, initiatives, programs, it became clear that other teams needed a clear set of guidelines to refer to so that Brand Studio didn’t have to do as much work on the ground approving their ideas and creative.

Solution

As a brand writer, I was able to edit and influence copy their teams proposed while also helping to codify the campaign rules we were developing in realtime. Below are some of the real and conceptual campaigns that went live in addition to work that we developed for guideline purposes.

• Partnered with Brand Studio’s creative director to look at the intake of requests and help develop and codify campaign guidance.

• Hands-on editing and copywriting for various cross-functional teams as extra support from Brand Studio.

Impact

• Standard guidance for brand campaign work across products, programs, and initiatives.
