Hey, I’m Jack 👋 co-founder of Do Words Good, a copywriting studio for ambitious ecomm and FMCG brands.

How we help ambitious brands

We help scaling brands with messaging strategy, positioning, brand voice and story plus putting it all together across every touchpoint (PDPs, landing pages, email flows, retail decks). With 25+ years combined experience, everything we do is backed by research and consumer psychology, so your copy doesn’t just sound nice, it helps the right people understand your product’s unique awesomeness (and then hit buy).

Who we’ve helped:

Discord, Vodafone, Disney, Nursem, Toast Brewing, Animal, Beachbum, OVO Energy, Merck, Drinkwell plus almost 300 other brands across retail, ecommerce and tech.

A few wins:

👉 Helped grow an ecommerce brand from ~£6M to almost £20M by repositioning + rewriting their site copy

👉 Helped a brand grow sales by 78% after a 4-week copy & messaging sprint

👉 Helped a US brand go from $7M to $38M over a year with fractional copy support

“An absolute game-changer… hugely transformational for us as a brand”

“Working with Jack and Joe has been an absolute game-changer for us. Not only are our sales way up, but they really helped us nail who we are as a brand, how we should sound (to customers and in retail decks) and gave us a brand voice & messaging playbook that our whole team have used to make everything we do unified and on-brand.

The whole thing was hugely transformational for us as a brand. Highly recommend.”

Max Reynolds, Founder, Beachbum

We’re probably a good fit if:

✅ Your brand’s levelling up, but your messaging is starting to feel a bit “held together with tape”

✅ You want copy that converts and sounds like you, no gimmicks, no “CRO bro” stuff

✅ You’re building a brand for the long run and care about trust, reputation & repeat customers


How we work:

We run most projects as 1, 2 or 4-week sprints. That’s because we’ve been doing this for over a decade and know that once a project goes on too long, it gets sanded down and signed off so that it’s fine but nobody really loves it.

Instead, we get aligned early, make sure we maintain momentum with a few clear review points, and get our heads down in full focus mode so you end the sprint with copy that is signed off and exactly how you want your brand to sound.

Plus, everything lives in our client portal, and we work in Figma / Klaviyo wherever we can so things are transparent and ready to hand over to design/dev to polish and publish.
