BECAUSE WORDS MATTER

The right words ore a way to inform, illuminate and inspire; a potent means of connecting people to your brand.

I am a copywriter and editor who uses language to create brand expressions as unique as each of my clients.

Penny Benda

In brief…..

Great copy starts with a concept true to the spirit of the brand and a commitment to the aspirations of the client.

Above (clockwise): print brochure for Boca Raton Resort & Club, design by Vanderbyl Design; “Masters of Food & Wine” book for Park Hyatt, design by Regina Rubino; print and online collateral for Shorenstein, design by Looking LA; web site for Period Restoration, design by Deanna Kuhlmann-Leavitt (KLI).

At Teknion, we remain optimists. We envision a decade of renewed creative energy as we find new ways to conduct our lives and our work. And while we cannot predict with certainty the course of cultural or corporate evolution, we can plan—and design—for uncertainty. We can recognize uncertainty as a state of extraordinary potential.

Featured Project

Theme and content developed to capture Teknion’s “future smart” concepts for office design and furniture.

Executed in print & digital formats.

Additional work for Teknion:

  • Web Site Content

  • Print and Digital Product Brochures

  • Showroom Themes & Language

  • Case Studies

  • “Design Does Matter” Books (Editor & Contributor)

Startled by a global event that arrived without warning, a virus that leaps across borders and boundaries, we see that we are, all of us, connected by a fragile biology, as well as the aims we share as citizens of the 21st century. Can we now enlarge our thinking? Can we make room for a more inclusive sense of purpose? Will we shape a future that looks like the world we want to see?

Every project begins with the client—your needs and your vision.

My job is to deliver first-class creative thinking and high-quality content that will resonate with your audiences.
