Welcome to The Right Place
A newsletter for big-hearted business owners, marketers and freelancers who like to do things differently.
There’s a mistaken belief that when you sell you sell out on your values. Writing crafty copy to con people into a purchase or masking who you are to make a buck. But you and I both know that building your business as a force for good doesn’t have to mean making no money.
The Right Place is the spot where brand, marketing and big-hearted business values meet. It’s all about learning how to communicate as a business-for-better. We talk everything from tone of voice to brand strategy, ethical marketing to accessibility. Because you don’t have to shit on your values to succeed.
Every month, I prove it to you by shining a light on a standout brand. Then I give you some take-home tips so you can get a slice of the action for your own business. It might be tricks to make your web copy work harder, updates for your tone of voice guide or strategies to promote your upcoming course or event.
Sound good? Pop your details into the form below and keep an eye on your inbox on the last Thursday of the month. I look forward to seeing you there.

Don’t I already know The Right Place?
Possibly! The Right Place has existed since January 2020. You may have come across it in its previous guise as a source of inspiration for how to run a business with purpose. These days, I focus on how to communicate as a brand with the best of intentions. If you have any questions, you’ll find me at sally@lumenandfoxwords.com.
