Knockout Communications is a Silicon Valley-based business founded by award-winning writer and editor Tara Komar. Tara founded the company after reading one too many pieces of corporate collateral that made her yearn for a red pen. It is now the company's mission to stamp out bad writing and replace it with clear, convincing communication that instills instant comprehension—and appreciation—among its readers.

Knockout Communications has extensive experience working with companies in the following industries:

Though focused primarily on writing and editing, Knockout Communications frequently partners with other top-tier independent consultants and agencies to provide customers with project management services that include graphic and web design, branding and strategic planning.

Our Philosophy
We truly enjoy what we do and like to have fun, but we're pretty serious about the expectations we set for ourselves with every client engagement:

Do the Homework. It's simply impossible to create targeted communication if we don't know your audience—and what they want. Before we ever put pen to paper, we make sure we understand the audience you want to reach, what their needs are, and how your company will meet those needs.

Pinpoint the Voice. Your communication will be meaningless if it doesn't reflect the values, vision and spirit of your company. If you let your voice shine through, it will be heard.

Embrace Clarity. Jargon and buzzwords only serve to obscure your message. Our clients refer us to their colleagues over and over because we are able to make the most complex technology sound breathtakingly simple.

Work Fast. You are unbelievably busy. We understand that, so we are relentless about meeting client deadlines. We can usually turn around editing jobs in 48 hours, and writing projects, depending on their length, within one to two weeks.
