Double the impact of your intranet! With the Debble stack, you empower your users to do more in less time. Debble offers the best Office 365 and SharePoint intranets and ideation platform that is easily extendible: one size does not always fit all. Our team have escaped from all kinds of other disciplines – brand consultancy, journalism, advertising and even professional services – to focus on language, because it’s the thing we all care about most. Yet most writers have to hide in other jobs until they finally suss out what it is they’re really good at. So we also run workshops to show apprentices and graduates that writing’s not just a skill, it’s a career. And, as you’d expect, we’re proudly polyglot. In our gang we have native speakers of English, Greek, Dutch, Afrikaans and Cantonese.
