Microsoft

Copywriting + Strategy

Microsoft hired me to lead messaging across all their Microsoft 365 (M365) apps to craft more clear, concise, cohesive, consumer friendly messaging, that also integrates their latest AI advancements. I worked across iconic apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, plus the all-new AI design product/app, Designer—all while integrating the launch of Microsoft’s new AI assistant Copilot across all apps.

Note: More Microsoft apps + work samples will be added soon.

 

Word

One of the biggest misconceptions Word, and many other Microsoft apps, face is that you must pay/subscribe to use Word, compared to Google Docs (and other Google Wordspace apps) which is free. So it was important to make very clear across all new Word (and PPT below) messaging that Word is free for everyone.

Word homepage refresh. An all-new home landing page for Microsoft Word showcasing a messaging refresh. Again here, the goal was to reestablish the old messaging for Word/Microsoft, and introducing a more simple, user-friendly Word.

 

PowerPoint

Designer (Microsoft’s all-new AI design app)

An all-new app homepage to establish new messaging ahead of the full app launch in July. The goal here was to educate users about Designer, Microsoft’s first brand new app in years, in a way that took these complex features and ideas, and made them easy to understand and not too overwhelming. Another big goal was to teach about AI in a simple way that would excite and not cause “AI-fear” or confusion.

Welcome email to Designer for new and existing users to educate and showcase new features and to promote user’s to take action and try the new features.

More work samples coming soon post official app launch.

 

Microsoft 365 App

Free To Be Free campaign + product landing page with all-new messaging for the new, free M365 app experience and everything you can do. My writing and strategy here focused on simplifying things for consumers to promote ease of use and avoid confusion, and also zoning in on how you get all of these great things for free.

 

Outlook

Product upsell landing page for the new Outlook app, showcasing all the benefits you get from an upgraded Outlook subscription. A lot has happened from the original Outlook launch, so this new Outlook page had to reestablish some of the voice and tone and pairing/functionality with other Microsoft apps.
