Don’t take our word for it
it was a pleasure working with Rooms & Words. We were pleased with the deliverables and the professional service. We used their copywriting, editing and proofreading services, including some microcopy and email marketing and we were very happy.
The Rooms & Words team is indispensable, especially for early stage startups who don’t yet have the internal capacity to address their growing marketing needs. Chedva’s diverse experiences enable her to act from both the perspective of a startup founder and that of a marketing wizard, and this versatility was particularly valuable for us. Additionally, her team brings years of international, strategy-driven experience to the table. We worked with Madison, Naja, and Chedva, for example. This makes Rooms & Words a true full-stack agency, capable of addressing nearly any marketing need.
Rooms & Words offers a full-stack content service that is ideal for startups that want to move fast and get all their content needs under one roof. Chedva was attentive in formulating our company's very first messaging, and I highly recommend her team to every entrepreneur and company.
The Rooms and Words team are by far my favorite content creators to work with. When I get wild with my ideas, I know Chedva and the team would deliver great content. With the R&W team at my disposal, I know I'll get what I need when I need it, and with a smile. Chedva has tons of marketing and business experience, not just as a writer but as a company founder, so she's not just your content creator agency lead but also a sounding board, a mentor, and an inspiration.
Why we do it
Rooms & Words isn’t your run of the mill agency. We are here because we know how it is being you: the founder, the marketing executive, the tech visionary in need of real creative guidance, partnership, and heck, some capable execution. We brought together a team of digital nomads who are obsessed with figuring out narratives that truly shine. Our team is one of a kind and we’re always looking to partner with clients who are one of a kind as well – emphasis on the word kind, since we have a strict “no asshole” policy.
