UK Copywriters Directory - Content strategy

  • PRO
    Copywriter, author, thought leadership writer, disruptive consultant and journalist with over 25 years of experience as a professional writer. I believe I am among the very best copywriters working in the UK and globally. I am currently mostly working remotely. I have written for and consulted for clients across business, charity, quangos and politics. These include Channel 4, Transport for London, Amazon, Borkowski.do, Edenspiekermann, Airbnb, Red Bull, Open Data Institute, NESTA, RatedPeople, Natwest, Arts and Humanities Research Council, Debt Hacker, Child Poverty Action Group, Freuds, Hays, ThoughtLDR, Allegory, LastMinute.com, HaMuch.com, Founders Pledge, Humanade, Vivienne Westwood and HSBC. I write to a very high standard and my work on architecture, AI, LLMs, BCorps, technology, building, construction, youth subcultures, fashion, the arts, data, health, campaigning and artists can be found in the Guardian, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, FT and Dwell magazine. I also write about these topics for commercial clients, taking them into tier one media with thought leadership and ideas for PR campaigns. I work both remotely and in-house, taking on contracts or working ad hoc, as needed. My copywriting and consultancy work has a dedicated website at thisidea.co.uk. I have written two books for major publishers and am comfortable writing for online or for print, producing short SEO-friendly copy that will keep people reading or blogging in your brand tone of voice. I am at home generating ideas, writing charity leaflets or penning 4,000 word essays for artists' catalogues. I have also been called in to deliver corporate emails, ghost writing for CEOs and founders, site architecture, strategy, charity campaigns, bids and major copy overhauls for websites and apps. I have written financial copy and terms and conditions for online and offline business. I am known as an innovator and am often ahead of the curve, which is why I have also been asked to carry out re-brands and re-thinks for major PR agencies. I can promote your organisation via thought leadership, ghost-write for your CEO, write staff profiles and blogs, or even teach staff how to write well for your business. My work is cited in several dictionaries, is part of the Open University English syllabus and has inspired several university research projects. I am also director of a company that deals in social history and the arts, which is one of my specialisms. You can see my journalism and books at iainaitch.com. "Iain is part of a community of collaborators I deploy when I am stuck for ideas or need inspirational copy. His propensity for and knowledge of left-field ideas is a thing of wonder." Mark Borkowski, founder Borkowski PR "Over the last two years, I have enjoyed working closely and collaboratively with Iain, who is highly-adept at picking up and running with the latest ideas in AI, data, and technology. He has a knack of making the new, and the complex both interesting and accessible for a wider audience. He does this without loss of rigour, he does not 'dumb down', and produces material that finds favour with existing experts. Moreover, he is able to come up with original takes on developments in AI, data, and technology that command the media’s attention. He always adds a distinct human touch to his work, whether that be thought leadership, speech-writing, or ideas for media content, making considered arguments during the creative process and in his finished work." Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Executive Chair of the Open Data Institute and Principal of Jesus College, Oxford. "It’s clean its lean and it does exactly what I want it to do. You’ve brought my idea to life, beautifully. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work." Michelle Grahame, Director, Virtually Working "Iain’s creative mind is the sort one wants to handle problems. He scurries away and quietly broils up a series of marketing and public relations ideas that lesser people would only conceive with breathtaking amounts of off-label medication. I endorse Iain’s abilities, and his good sense to put them in the service of legal commerce rather than villainy." Jason Martin, CEO, Iotum

    Do you need a new tone of voice or a brand refresh? Perhaps a video script, or your site rewritten. I'll be your guide. My USP: I'm an award-winning advertising copywriter and scriptwriter with 25 years of experience who has worked in B2B, consumer and healthcare. My training at the School of Communication Arts, and extensive writing background, means that I’m conceptual and strategic, and not simply a writer who fills in the blanks. I grasp the essence of each communications challenge quickly, and can help advise you on the best approach for your marketing strategy. How I can help: Whether you’re looking to launch or relaunch your brand, need a consistent tone of voice, a big communications idea with deliverables across multiple platforms, or simply a blog, an email campaign or a website refresh, I have the expertise to deliver copy that brings results. What I offer: My specialisms include advertising concepts, direct mail, press ads, posters, radio ads, social media, SEO content and online advertising. After interrogating the brief, I produce all types of written material, from banners and viral marketing, to TV, film and animation scripts, brochures, catalogues and flyers. Editorial services: If you’re looking for more straight-forward editorial assistance, I can proof-read and sub-edit your copy to help you optimise your content. Alternatively, I can write original copy from scratch or refresh your existing content. Committed to producing the best work, I check and double-check my copy every time. My approach: I’m equally happy working on my own; or in close collaboration with a creative director, art director or designer, as well as in larger, multi-disciplinary teams of software developers and project managers. I set high standards for myself and never compromise on quality. Working with me: When you work with me, you’ll discover I have the following skills: - conceptual thinking - commercial value add - both long and short copy - a flexible, versatile attitude - ability to build rapport quickly - quick learning capacity - a sense of fun A typical project begins by discussing the brief either face-to-face or over skype or zoom, email or by phone. We would then agree on deadlines and budget, any source content, and if appropriate, set milestones for delivery. I look forward to working with you. Still undecided? Here's what some happy clients of mine have to say: “Julia is a very talented scriptwriter. Her response to any brief is thoughtful, creative, highly structured, and presented with a clear and considered rationale. And it's always delivered bang on time. She has a flexible approach and is great in client-facing situations. She's able to produce beautifully crafted work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia to anyone in the creative industries whose first consideration is quality.” Kate Greenslade Video producer Freshly Made Films “Julia is a terrific writer and a brilliant addition to any team. She gets to grips with briefs at very short notice and can swiftly respond to deliver superbly crisp and clear copy that does the job perfectly. She's definitely that 'go-to' person when it comes to finding a fantastic freelance copywriter.” Katy Lindemann Digital Product & Experience Strategist “Julia's exactly what you want in a freelance writer. She's fast, efficient and writes fantastic copy. She's also good fun to work with and can turn her hand to just about anything you throw at her.” Ian Sweeney Freelance Creative Director “Julia is an excellent Copywriter. She takes our extremely vague briefs and turns them into absolutely perfect copy. She is by far the best Copywriter we have ever worked with.” James Percy Managing Director Verasseti & Dreamspace UX “Julia kicks ass. She knows how to write well, she knows what reads well, and she knows the business inside and out. I was brand spanking new to ad copywriting when I first started working with Julia and most of the stuff I now know that's worth knowing, I learned from her. She is clear headed and will give no quarter in defending the word, the flow, the meaning of the work – all without being precious about the end product. Julia is a real pleasure to work and collaborate with. If you want creative copy with the integrity of the finest pizza crust, you want Julia Howe.” Laura Rohde Senior Digital Copywriter Wunderman Look forward to working with you.

    Congratulations. You’ve decided to read my profile! In copywriting circles, getting the right sort of attention is half the battle. The other half is what I’m much better at; writing the right sort of words. Words that help people understand ideas, businesses and products (and take the right kind of action). Clients large and small Over the years, I’ve written car ads for Porsche, social posts for Bombay Sapphire and entire websites for the RAF. Big brands are often great fun to write for. What I really love is working with small businesses; seeing the smiles cross my clients’ faces as I bring their dream project to life with a few well chosen words. Tone of voice projects are my favourite, and I’ve recently enjoyed collaborating closely with clients such as biomass energy firm Innasol and pest control startup Spotta to get their brand language perfectly tuned for their audience. My skills I can turn my hand to: Websites Long and short form copy ads Brand Tone of Voice Documents Emails Leaflets and brochures Banner headlines Social Posts App and interface copy TV scripts Content scripts Brand and company names Packaging copy Point of sale copy Dating profile copy (that’s a joke, but I’m happy to try…) I’m also one half of a copywriting duo, as my wife Laura is a very talented (and outspoken) wordsmith too.

They understood very quickly our challenges and answered very creatively. The result is beyond our expectations.

    Hi, I’m Rachel. Your copy needs to work for you. So you need someone trained in writing – copywriting – and SEO (search engine optimisation). Someone who can take your ideas and turn them into creative, compelling content to have the impact you want. I take away all the stress, effort, and uncertainty and do the writing for you. Or I can teach you how to do it for yourself – properly. Grow your brand, get seen online, and give people a reason to trust you. Whether you want to attract more customers or increase brand loyalty, I can help you develop your strategy to raise your profile, prove your expertise in your market, and convey your message. I have a broad knowledge of companies, businesses and markets. I'm used to working in high pressure environments and to budgets and deadlines. You can read my own blogs on my website rachelbraywriting.com and on lovinghomemade.com (a baking blog I have been writing since 2012). Please just ask if you would like to see any other examples of my work. Recent client projects have included website copy for a kitchen design company and a therapist, blogs on photography and food, and brochure copy for some trades. My clients cover a wide range of industries and sectors - if I can research it, I can write about it. Every month is different. I particularly love working on articles I can research and develop into structured, informative pieces. Please just get in touch for more information.

    You're busy, so let's keep this quick. Here are 4 questions my clients ask: ONE: How much do you charge for copywriting and content writing? Between £275 and £375 per day, depending on your business, the writing which is needed, and the deadline. Small businesses and charities generally pay less than agencies and larger businesses. Once we have a discovery call and I learn all about your business, I'll create a bespoke proposal outlining your whole project and the exact costs. You'll know the full costs of the project before you sign the contract. The only reason the price will change is if the scope changes, but we'll discuss this if it arises. TWO: Are you available now? Sort of. Very likely, yes. I intentionally leave lots of space in my diary for quick projects, such as a page of website copy, or a couple of blogs. So, if I can squeeze in some work I will. I really get a kick out of helping people, and I get that you might need some copy fast. Depending on the exact deadline you need (AKA: how late I'll have to work in the evening or if I'm working over a weekend) I might need to include a 25% rush fee. Generally, it takes around 6- 8 weeks to complete a copywriting project like a white paper or a full website. I can be booked for these projects 2- 3 months in advance. We can discuss exact deadlines in your discovery call. THREE: Are you an experienced copywriter? Yes. I've written everything from SEO blogs to Instagram captions to Deliveroo listings. I've written white papers and website copy. I've written newsletters and emails and product descriptions. I'm pretty gosh darn confident I could write anything you wanted. I mostly write for fabulous small UK business owners, but I've also worked with digital agencies, national brands, and international businesses. My writing has even appeared in the press, and I've got a burgeoning Substack newsletter. Head to my website for examples of my writing. FOUR: What happens when a client works with a copywriter?Everyone's got their own processes, but this is how I work best. 1. We start with a discovery call, which lasts up to 30 minutes. This is where I learn exactly what you’re looking for, the deadline, and your budget. 2. I’ll write you a proposal. If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll send you a contract and an invoice for 50% of the fee. 3. It's time for you to create a super detailed brief. I can help you with this. 4. I write your first draft and send it to you. You tell me about anything which needs to be edited. 5. I edit the first draft and send draft two back to you, with the final invoice. 6. You upload the copy to your website, or send it to your email list, or post on social media, and start engaging with your customers. 7. (And, perhaps you write me a lovely testimonial too? Hey, a girl can dream!) That's it! Easy, huh? "Bonnie refined my brand voice and optimised what I wanted to say into a condensed and easy- to- read format. All my conversations with Bonnie were natural and productive. She delivered all that she promised in a timely and professional manner." I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your business.

    👋 Hello, I’m India, a creative and meticulous copywriter with a decade of experience in digital content creation. I help companies achieve their digital goals through compelling, on-brand content that drives results. But enough about me. Let’s talk about you. You're in the right place if you need help with:Website landing pages that engage, inform, inspire and convert. High quality SEO articles or landing pages. Brand articles that set you out as a thought-leader in your field. On-brand UX copy that guides users seamlessly through your app or website. Targeted digital PR campaigns that achieve coverage and drive results. On-brand CRM copy that enhances customer experience and speaks to your company culture. A brand-new tone of voice that encapsulates your company values and personality. There’s more detail below. But if you’ve heard enough, drop me a line to discuss your latest business needs, ideas, and big-future-plans 😌 – india.johnson12@gmail.com. Who do I work with? Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with brands and organisations across many sectors. I’ve become particularly familiar with the insurance, tax and FinTech sectors, as well as fashion and retail – but I don’t like to limit myself to a handful of spaces. I’m really versatile and enjoy the challenge of becoming an expert in new industries. Why work with me? You’ll get a highly motivated, friendly, and creative individual on your team. I’ll help you solve problems, navigate tricky briefs, and come up with killer new ideas. You won’t need to worry about whether or not I’ll ‘get’ your brand voice. I’ve been brought on as an editor for multiple large-scale copy projects (including for Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, and Pfizer) to bring copy in-line with strict tone of voice guidelines. I’ll support you through the grey-areas – briefing isn’t always straightforward and it’s not always easy to know what you want. I can guide you, helping you to clearly define your goals and figure out how to get there. 😀 What my clients say about working with me “I never thought working with a copywriter would be a silver bullet for my business, but working with India has come pretty close. She’s captured the ‘voice’ of my company and has made our marketing, content and even product that much better. She’s given the company a personality that our customers and partners have really gravitated towards. Not to mention she is an absolute joy to work with – responsive, communicative, and an overall nice person.” – J.D. Rainey, CEO, Finmo “India is fantastic to work with. She’s smart, self-motivated and knows how to get to the route of a problem. She can get to grips with a client’s business, technology, product or service by asking the right questions in order to create compelling, on-message content that really gets to the heart of what’s needed. But more than that, India doesn’t get by on just delivering what’s required. She’s not afraid to speak up, question things and drive home what she knows will deliver real value. That’s what sets India apart from most copywriters. She can really be relied on to deliver excellent copy to brief, but she can also contribute her own ideas to execute above and beyond.” – Louise Quenzer, Head of Content, Brave Bison

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”

Jo Watson

“I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”

Abby King

“Let your work breathe. While it’s tempting to send over to the client once a piece is ready, I try to give it at least 24 hours (where time allows!) before I go back in, review and send.”
