Turning complex content into clear, considered
publications
The You Co. is a boutique publication and editorial design consultancy. We help organisations turn substantial information into publications that are easier to read, understand and use.
From reports and research to recruitment packs and prospectuses, we bring editorial thinking and design together so the finished publication feels professional, purposeful and right for its audience.
You have the content.
We make the publication
Good content can lose impact when it is hard to navigate or everything feels equally important. We shape the structure, hierarchy and design so readers can find their way through it.
