I'm Nicci - a journalist & creative copywriter.

I publish weekly at The Shift: https://www.niccitalbot.substack.com. Content, creativity, & entrepreneurship.

I started out in journalism with Emap in 2001 and then freelanced for a few years on women's magazines, advertising & PR agencies in London, plus a brief stint at a corporate fraud agency – Haymarket Risk Management. Yes, they really do rifle through bin bags!

Today I work with B2B clients – startups, a trade association, journalism union, and many agencies. I can write on any topic, but my passion is content, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

I can help with one-off projects and regular content including, blogs, case studies, profiles, newsletters, white papers/reports, sponsored content, and research/editing.
