Anna Gunning

About

I'm a Birmingham-based B2B copywriter and content marketer with a proven track record across manufacturing, energy, technology, property and more. Whether you’re looking to raise awareness, generate leads, facilitate growth or raise finance – I help you tell your story in a way that makes an impact.

🟩 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: You expect a professional writer to have an outstanding level of precision with their language, but most writers aren't equipped with any solid technical grounding. I *do* have those tech skills, so I can participate with purpose – bringing authority, professionalism and presence with even the most senior stakeholders. This speeds up the process of producing exactly the right words for your audience.

As one CTO said: "Anna has the rare ability to convert our portfolio – both technical and transformational – into stories that are interesting, easy to consume and meaningful to customers."

🟩 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: I see the same problem time and again: clients being so close to their own business that they can't "read the label of the jar they're in". This makes it hard to communicate effectively with customers, resulting in a business not punching its weight. As an experienced, independent business writer, I give you the clarity to see what the market and your audience truly wants to hear, and to orient your messaging accordingly.

🟩 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: Being a professional writer for 20+ years means I've learned to be strategic instead of just churning out copy. When you brief me on your project, I'll be there to challenge and probe, asking all the right questions to ensure that what we put on the page makes the right impact on your audience. I'll help you avoid costly mistakes so that you occupy your rightful position in the market.

Her ability to take even the most obscure and/or complicated subject matter and turn it around quickly, accurately and on brief – time and time again – really is amazing. I can safely say Anna is one of the most intelligent people I have worked with, but it’s not just this which makes her an absolute asset – she’s friendly, always upbeat and an absolute perfectionist."
