About Me

My photo
Welcome to 22 Revisions - a blog documenting what I do at work and in life... I’m Sacha and I’ve been in the advertising business for 22 years. In the summer of 2008, I moved my family from Cambridge to a little city north of Toronto called Peterborough to work at an advertising agency called BrandHealth. It has been challenging and unpredictable but the most important revision I have ever made. I am definitely not the most dedicated blogger, nor the most interesting person that has blogged but I hope my sporadic blogs provide some insights into this amazing city, company, industry and people I work with...

Proofreading includes checking for correct spelling, trademark symbols, reference and cross-reference ordering, symbol usage and logo usage/placement. It also includes looking for typographical errors, copy/paste errors, correct layout alignment and breaks. A proofreader must also compare French to English copy and layouts to make sure they match.

Copyediting assures the quality, clarity and accuracy of the copy produced by BrandHealth, the client and the copywriters (in-house or freelance).
