How to supply amends to a marketing agency

9 times out of 10, handwriting is quite difficult to read and a fair amount of time can be spent by the marketing agency trying to interpret it. This can often lead to mistakes being made, creating frustrations for both the client and the agency. It's best to provide any amends typed up exactly as you want them (e.g. capitals, punctuation) to save any potential confusion for your agency during the amends process. 

Marking up a PDF or adding tracked changes to a word document is often the most straightforward way of communicating your changes with a designer or copywriter. These are the most usable formats for both parties and also ensures that any changes you would like to make are communicated in the clearest and most understandable way. If you're unable to mark up a PDF then adding comments to a Word document including references to which page in the PDF they refer to is a great alternative.
