Local fit

Why hire a native South African data and analytics writer

Hiring a data and analytics writer who is actually based in Port Elizabeth changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. Eleven official languages and a wide spread of buying power. English carries most commercial search, but tone, data cost and payment trust signals all change how a page should be built.

Practically, that means your data and analytics writer writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across South Africa, references Port Elizabeth and wider Eastern Cape accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in ZAR. Languages on the bench for this market: English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and more.

Plain terms, written down before you commit to anything.

You are a client of The DRAFT ROOOM

You are a client of The DRAFT ROOOM, not the personal client of the specialist. The contract, the invoice, the confidentiality agreement and the copyright assignment all sit with us.

Continuity if a specialist leaves

If a specialist becomes unavailable for any reason, including leaving our bench, we reassign a peer level specialist from the same market and the same discipline at no extra cost. Your brief, your voice guide and your work in progress stay with us, so nothing restarts.

Payment terms

Project work is 50 per cent on acceptance of the scope and 50 per cent on final delivery. Retainers are 50 per cent before the month starts and 50 per cent at the end of that month.

Copyright and confidentiality

Full commercial copyright transfers to you on final payment. Every specialist has signed a confidentiality agreement and an intellectual property assignment with us before taking a single brief.

Senior editorial review on everything

Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior Draft ROOOM editor against your brief and your voice guide before it reaches you. Two rounds of revision are included as standard.
