Copywriters in London

I use common words to say uncommon things. I’m a freelance strategic copywriter, tone of voice expert and a brand consultant in London. I work with people on the words their brand uses, the voice with which it speaks and how it presents itself to the world. I’m happy to work on one or all three of these things with you. My aim is to clarify and strengthen your brand and its relationships with your customers through smart thinking and writing, with a little bit of magic and logic thrown in. No dumbing down. No talking down. Just common words expressing uncommon things. Straight-to-the-point, easy-to-understand language that conjures up a universe of possibilities. I can help with ideas and copy that capture your audience’s imagination. Honing your tone of voice, reinvigorating your brand positioning, purpose, personality and values and brand naming projects. I’ve worked with everyone from three-people-and-a-dog start-ups to globe-straddling brands. What’s the brand or communication issue that’s keeping you awake at night? I can help you resolve it with an objective eye. If you’d like to find out more or discuss working with me, please book a free, no obligation call.

Let's set up a meeting to discuss what I can do for you. "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
