What Makes Copy Sound Human vs Corporate?

You can usually tell when a piece of copy was written by a person who understands people—and when it was written by someone trying too hard to sound “professional.”

Corporate copy often sounds like this:

“We are committed to delivering innovative solutions that empower businesses to achieve their strategic objectives.”

It sounds impressive.

But what does it actually say?

Now compare it with:

“We help small businesses get more customers without wasting money on ads that don’t work.”

Much clearer. Much more human.

Human copy doesn't try to impress the reader. It tries to connect with them.

A few things make a big difference:

• Write the way people actually speak.
  If you wouldn't say it in a conversation, don't force it onto the page.
• Use specific words.
  “Save three hours every week” is stronger than “improve productivity.”
• Don't be afraid of short sentences.
  Sometimes “That’s the problem.” works better than a paragraph explaining the problem.
• Talk to one person.
  “You” usually feels more personal than “our valued customers.”
• Leave some personality in the writing.
  A little humor, honesty, or opinion can make copy feel alive.
• Cut the corporate padding.
  Words like “solutions,” “innovative,” “world-class,” and “commitment” don't automatically make copy better.

Here's a simple test:

Read your copy out loud.

If it sounds like something a real person would say to another real person, you're probably on the right track.

If it sounds like a company brochure trying to win an award for sounding professional, rewrite it.

Good copy doesn't need to sound important.

It needs to sound real.
