Proofed Launches Brand New Knowledge Hub! https://proofed.com/press-releases/proofed-launches-brand-new-knowledge-hub/ Thu, 23 Mar 2023 10:43:17 +0000 https://proofed.com/?post_type=press-releases&p=94616 How do you get 100 editors to make more than one million words of content...

How do you get 100 editors to make more than one million words of content per month sound as if it comes from one unified brand voice?

We figured out the secret, and we’re sharing it with the world as we officially launch our new Knowledge Hub! Whether you’re looking for guidance on hiring and managing editors or you want to find checklists, worksheets, or templates to help train your editing team, you can now find hundreds of useful resources at proofed.com/knowledge-hub.

Our service delivery managers are experts at putting together dynamic teams of editors for our enterprise clients. Our teams fine-tune style guides and deliver world-class training to ensure that each piece of content is concise and returned error-free, with a singular tone of voice. It’s no simple task, so we jumped at the chance to pick our team members’ brains and share their secrets with the world.

Offering free access to anyone, our Knowledge Hub is invaluable not just for editorial directors and content teams but also for freelance editors, who can access the same training materials our own editors use to improve their skills. Save our official proofreading checklist, read our guide on editing research papers, or check out our big list of the 15 most common errors by non-native writers.

Central to the success of this initiative was the launch of Proofed Pods in summer 2022, a scheme that allowed individuals from across our core teams to collaborate on side projects distinct from their day-to-day work. The Pods greatly improved communication between teams and developed the idea that we could harness internal training materials – from style guides to Slack conversations – to build a world-class editorial resource hub.

Hannah, our content marketing specialist, said:

We’ve got so many editing experts in this team, whether it be on the intricacies of OSCOLA referencing or how to compile style guides of 30+ pages that actually get followed. It’s invaluable knowledge that deserves to be shared, and I know it will be a real benefit to content teams and freelance editors.

In the long term, we hope to continue to “operationalize” our content and build a robust content ecosystem. By tapping into our teams’ collective knowledge, we’ll gain:

–   A continuous stream of high-quality content

–   A solid content repurposing framework

–   Stronger briefs for our writers

–   Better collaborations and engagement across teams

–   Branded, accessible training guides for our editors

–   Improved thought leadership and authority in our space

A big thank you goes out to our service delivery and editor support teams for letting us peek into their processes. We’ve got lots more resources going out over the coming weeks – from editing checklists and quizzes to formatting templates, so watch this space. And if you would like to learn more about our Knowledge Hub or services, contact info@proofed.com.

Proofed is delighted and humbled to announce that it has been featured on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list as one of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in North America!

The highly regarded Inc.5000 list recognizes the fastest growing companies based on their percentage revenue growth. Proofed was placed as the 2770th company on the list, having achieved a staggering growth of 201% since 2019.

Because Proofed is still in its growth stage, we hope to rank even higher on the Inc. 5000 list next year. However, the Proofed team sees being awarded this prestigious title as a huge encouragement and celebration of being on the right path as a company.

Here’s a huge thank you to the entire Proofed team, from our brilliant editors to our sales and marketing teams, customer support specialists, service delivery team, and every person in between. Rapid growth wouldn’t be possible if Proofed wasn’t made up of such a talented and hardworking group of experts.

Adam Harvey, Co-Founder and CEO of Proofed, said: 

“We are proud and honored to be named as one of Inc’s 5000 fastest growing companies. It recognizes years of hard work and dedication from our awesome team in building something truly great.”

More about Inc. and the Inc. 5000

Methodology

Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $2 million. 

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. The top 500 companies on the Inc. 5000 are featured in Inc. magazine’s September issue. The entire Inc. 5000 can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.

About Inc.

The world’s most trusted business-media brand, Inc. offers entrepreneurs the knowledge, tools, connections, and community to build great companies. Its award-winning multiplatform content reaches more than 50 million people each month across a variety of channels including websites, newsletters, social media, podcasts, and print. 

Its prestigious Inc. 5000 list, produced every year since 1982, analyzes company data to recognize the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the United States. The global recognition that comes with inclusion in the 5000 gives the founders of the best businesses an opportunity to engage with an exclusive community of their peers, and the credibility that helps them drive sales and recruit talent. 

The associated Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala is part of a highly acclaimed portfolio of bespoke events produced by Inc. For more information, visit www.inc.com.

Top 50 list announced at June 22nd Inspire Work Summit.

We’re officially one of the top 50 inspiring workplaces in North America!

The complete list of top 50 organizations, selected by an independent panel of judges, was announced on June 22nd at the Inspire Work summit in New York.

We shared 39th place with Couchbase, sharing the list with major names such as Union Pacific, PepsiCo, Ocean State Job Lot, and Blue Shield of California.

Inspiring Workplaces honored us in the category of inclusion, a value deeply cemented in our workplace culture. We’re proud to offer consistent, rewarding, high-paying work to individuals who may otherwise struggle to access quality employment, whether due to location, age, physical ability, or gender. To become an editor at Proofed, candidates must complete a training course and score over 80% on the final test. This allows anyone, no matter who they are or what they have done previously, to become a Proofed editor in as little as 50 hours.

Our inclusive hiring policy and equitable operations strategy are reflected all the way up through senior management. Our operations team is 50% female, and many of us are parents, with our core team based in 13 different countries. If you’re passionate about writing, grammar, and communication, we’re proud to have you work with us, regardless of background or personal circumstances.

Appearing onstage to collect the award, Josh Pizzaro, our director of the board, stated:

“I’m honored to accept this award on behalf of the Proofed team. As we’re growing the company rapidly, we’re also committed to building it the right way – by putting people first. We’re continuously focused on our people and culture to ensure Proofed is an inspiring place to work for all our colleagues.”

To view the complete list of the top 50 organizations, click here.

Congratulations to everyone on the list for their efforts in creating workplaces that value inclusion, communication, leadership, wellbeing, purpose, and experience. Finally, another big thank you to the Inspiring Workplaces team and everyone on our team for working tirelessly to make Proofed an inspiring place to work.

US domain changes to proofed.com following the success of UK domain migration

Our editors are adamant about clarity and concision, so we decided to follow their advice!

Hot on the heels of our UK domain migration, we’ve updated our US domain to match. This week, getproofed.com became proofed.com.

Aside from our domain, nothing has changed, and customers can still expect the same outstanding quality from our proofreading and editing services.

We changed our UK domain this past May from proofreadmyessay.co.uk because, these days, we proofread a lot more than essays. Whether they’re content pieces for Lucid Advertising or educational resources for Blue Marble, we wanted to update our domain to reflect the thousands of document types we’ve edited and the continual expansion of services we offer.

It only made sense, then, to align our US and UK sites under the same umbrella domain name. The change to www.proofed.com and www.proofed.co.uk means we now have a stronger, more robust, memorable domain that aligns more closely with our brand, name, and ambitions.

Other than our domain, everything else remains the same. So, if you have an essay, report, novel, or any other type of writing that needs proofreading, you can rely on us to find you the perfect editor and help you produce the best quality writing possible. If you’re a business with ongoing editorial needs or looking to scale your content creation, reach out to our sales team to discuss our fully managed editorial services.

For more information or inquiries, feel free to contact us at info@proofed.com.

We might be experts in the written word, but Proofed is now expanding into the world of video! Specifically, we have launched a new YouTube channel where we will share helpful writing tips, giving our followers a new way to learn about writing in an engaging, accessible format.

To develop our new video content, we are working with Jack Horscraft. Hailing from Essex in the UK, Jack will be responsible for both creating the videos and presenting them on camera, drawing on his extensive experience creating content and running a successful channel.

On his new role, Jack says, “YouTube is how a whole generation of internet users seeks answers to any questions they have. Creating something from nothing and sharing whatever I learn along the way are my greatest passions. And if you ask my family, they’ll tell you that I also love to correct grammar! Working with Proofed therefore puts me in my element. And I am looking forward to working with them to create content dedicated to sharing their expertise, helping people to communicate effectively, and pursuing grammatical perfection.”

You can see one of our first videos published on our channel below, where Jack offers a step-by-step explanation of how to write an Argumentative Essay.

The move to video builds on the success of Proofed’s thriving Writing Tips blog, which now attracts more than 300,000 readers a month. We’re very proud of this! But we also want to make our content accessible to as many people as possible. And with more than 2.1 billion people across the globe using YouTube monthly, launching a channel was the next logical step!

Creating a YouTube channel is also just the start of Proofed’s wider move into video. With plans to share additional short-form video content on Instagram and TikTok, we’re excited to share our expertise with a new generation of writers in a bite-sized, manageable way. Whether starting out at college or penning their first short story, Proofed are committed to offering the highest quality free resources to help our audience improve their writing.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel today to get notifications of our weekly videos with helpful writing tips, covering topics including grammar, spelling, referencing styles, and much more. And if you want to suggest something you’d like to see covered in a video, contact our team today.

We are delighted to announce that Proofed has been selected as a finalist in the 2022 North American Inspiring Workplace Awards! The award celebrates forward-thinking, people-first companies, so to be in the running for Inspiring Workplace of the Year is a great honor!

Originally established in 2014, the Inspiring Workplace Awards are judged by a panel of experts based on six criteria: culture and purpose, leadership, wellbeing, inclusion, communication, and creating an empowering experience, all of which inform our thinking at Proofed.

Award winners will be selected based on how leaders within nominated companies deliver a better experience for their colleagues and gain a competitive advantage for their organizations.

At Proofed, we’ve long fostered a work culture that centers wellbeing and inclusion. All of our editors are encouraged to work how they want, when they want. We do this by allowing them to take on work on an entirely flexible basis, meaning they can structure their working weeks to suit their needs. The fact that the work is remote, with no minimum or maximum hours per week, also makes us a popular choice for women (who comprise over 75% of our editors), mothers, people with physical disabilities, students, and retirees. Many people who have struggled to find employment elsewhere have been able to find stimulating, rewarding work with Proofed.

Likewise, our leadership team is built on a policy of promoting from within: 75% of our manager-level team members were promoted from either the editorial team or other internal positions, making them inspirational role models for new team members hoping to climb the ladder. We believe in the person, not their background, selecting those with the greatest enthusiasm for lifelong learning to become our team leads. Consequently, all our leaders are proponents of our key values: enthusiasm, potential, and passion for continuous education.

Adam Harvey, CEO of Proofed, says that “Everyone at Proofed is proud to be nominated for this award. It’s great for the work we’ve been doing to be recognized. But it’s also a sign that we’re on the right track! We believe that creating an inspiring, supportive culture for our team and freelancers is the best way to ensure success for the company and great results for our customers. And we’ll continue using this philosophy to innovate going forward.”

Finally, we’d also like to congratulate our co-nominees. From global mega-brands to up-and-coming small businesses, it is a privilege to be listed alongside you all! Good luck, and we look forward to the winners of the Inspiring Workplace Awards being announced soon.

Proofed welcomes four new specialists to help support editors.

Proofed is delighted to welcome four new specialists to our operations team. The new team members will use their experience and expertise to provide extra support for our editors, thus helping to ensure we always achieve the best results possible for our customers.

The new hires also reflect Proofed’s proven approach of recognizing and hiring the best talent from within our editing teams to support our growing operations. They will therefore bring their experience of working with Proofed to their new roles, meaning they understand firsthand what editors need to do their jobs, develop their skills, and advance in their careers.

But who exactly are these newcomers? Let us introduce you to them!

  • Adam Peithman, based in Thailand, is passionate about helping people find practical solutions to their problems. He will bring this to bear in his new role, where he will help to manage the document queue, review documents, and assign work to editors.
  • Claire Wilson, based in the UK, is dedicated to supporting editors so they can do their best work, helping to ensure the timely delivery of great results in our editing team.
  • Igor Jankov, who is based in Serbia, likes nothing more than perfecting text until it’s presentable and professional. In his new role, his duties will include assigning orders to editors and reviewers, managing active orders, ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality work from Proofed’s editors, and providing editor/reviewer feedback.
  • Kara Shatney, based in the US, loves the art of writing and will support Proofed’s freelance editors and ensure timely delivery of high-quality work.

Editor Support Lead Martin Colbourne is pleased to welcome the new team members: “After working closely with all of the new hires during their training, I’m absolutely delighted by what they bring to the team. Their strong editing backgrounds mean they’re perfectly placed to support our growing ranks of editors and reviewers. The team is now in a great place as we head toward the second half of 2022.”

These latest hires will help to ensure continued high standards in our editor support team after several members were promoted to our expanding technical delivery team, which focuses on developing and strengthening Proofed’s business-to-business relationships, earlier this year.

The new hires also mean Proofed can provide more coverage in Asian and Pacific time zones, thereby ensuring that our editors can get in touch whenever they need assistance.
