Why so many copywriting niches?


If you're wondering why I write for the mix of sectors I do, it's all down to photography. Before entering the world of copywriting, I was a freelance landscape and location photographer. Shooting editorial and commercial images for stock and various clients, including the National Trust, I specialised in photographing Britain's architecture, natural landscapes, gardens, and heritage locations.

All things that genuinely interested me. And still do. So it made perfect sense to make these my copywriting niches too. In a way, I'm still creating pictures, only now using words rather than a camera.


"Thank you so much, Andrew - this is great! You’ve really nailed the evocative copy we're after. And with so many options for taglines, we definitely have that part of the project covered too."
Emma Mathias, Bradshaw Taylor - the home of luxury outdoor clothing and country lifestyle brands.
