Here's an Example of a Finished Version:
Hi, I’m Maya Elridge, Marketing Manager at The Bulletin Brief, a daily newsletter covering business trends and insights.
We publish every single day, which means we’re constantly writing, editing, and shipping under pressure. And with a small team, a lot of that pressure landed on me. I was copyediting everything—headlines, intros, ads—you name it.
Even though we’re a writing-first brand, we were struggling to keep up without letting quality slip.
That’s why we brought in Polishr.
It integrated right into our existing workflow and started giving real-time grammar, tone, and clarity suggestions that actually matched our voice. It wasn’t just fixing typos—it was editing like an extra team member who understood how we speak.
Since using Polishr, we’re saving over five hours a week just in editing. We’ve reduced the number of revisions. And best of all, we’ve maintained the consistent tone our readers expect—even with multiple contributors.
It’s freed me up to work on bigger campaigns and partnerships, instead of just reacting to copy emergencies all day.
Now, we’re using Polishr not just for newsletters, but for landing pages, emails, even ad copy. And we’re starting to test using it for A/B headline ideas.
Polishr didn’t just make us faster—it made us sharper. And that’s everything in media.
