The brief
During the pandemic, the Victorian Government enlisted Jobs Victoria to tackle the challenge of providing jobs for people out of work and employees for businesses' struggling to find staff.
With so many different platforms - many of them online - the Digital Design and Experience team engaged me to help them define the ideal tone of voice for Jobs Victoria online. This involved working with the team, assessing the multiple platforms and reasons for why they'd be communicating with different parties, from job seekers to employers to counsellors. Across all of this diversity, we found a unified voice that could reflect the team's values and goals when it comes to representing Jobs Victoria online. I produced a Tone of Voice Guide (ToV) and worked with different areas of the team, including the Comms department to apply the Tone of Voice across different genres.
