Bournemouth Council
Bournemouth Council’s website had grown haphazardly over the years. The great services they provided were lost in jargon and waffle. 5000 pages of jargon and waffle. It was time for a rewrite.
The challenge
We had to help create a website that was useful to the people who needed it most: the people and businesses of Bournemouth. We also needed to manage the sensitivities of people who’d worked hard to create the original content. The first task was to build a team up for the challenge and agree a realistic deadline for the site to go live that we could all work towards.
What we did
“We had a lot to do and not much time to do it! A Thousand Monkeys gave us a tone of voice that really connected with our residents, visitors and businesses. They kept on top of a complex project with excellent management. ey did a great job keeping everyone engaged with interviews, presentations and training. A great team of people who I have no hesitation in recommending.”

The results
We put together a team of six writers and were able to deliver 1000 pages within 4 months, including briefing meetings and training.
