Radix Podcast: Copywriters vs the PDF

Copywriters, proofreaders and the PDF

Radix Communications invited me back!

Creative Director David McGuire got me in for another chat on their podcast. This time? My favourite content format: PDFs.

First up, Nick and Karla from Turtl discuss their Kill the PDF campaign, and how this pinch and zoom format doesn’t cut it in an online world. When it comes to keeping pace and offering analytical insight, they’re right.

But PDFs still have their place.

Hear me back up this fiddly format (I only refer to my ‘mild hatred’ the once) at 15:33 as I stand in its corner. I share the process I use to proofread PDF marketing materials too. Use it!

Listen below!
