UK Copywriters Directory

    Thought leadership, content strategy, campaign messaging, content planning, creative copywriting, editing, and proofreading. Yes, it's a list. A list of all the things I get involved in here at AECOM, where I lead thought leadership and content for Europe and India. It's not exhaustive by any means, but a reflection of the variety of my day-to-day work - which I love. AECOM is a huge global infrastructure consultancy, so I need to be on top of a huge range of topics. This week's to-do list comprises articles on the benefits of data analytics, powering up green ammonia production in Paraguay, and India's first fully underground metro corridor in Mumbai. It's certainly a job for the intellectually curious. Personally, I am an advocate for strategic planning and knowing your audience. Content must be targeted. I'm also really enjoying trying out various AI-powered tools that are helping my team to produce quality content at scale and pace. I'm just entering my fourth decade in the writing business. In that time, I've been a managing editor, food columnist (loved that), feature writer, PR account manager (hated that), production editor, and a contributor to the Rough Guide to Japan. Yes, that's another list. But after more than 30 years in the business - there's a lot to include!

    Bringing places, spaces, products, and services to life with clear, enticing and informative writing that inspires your audience to act. Because when you use just the right words you can do brilliant things. You can paint a persuasive picture. Tell your story, excite, and sell dreams. You can inform, win hearts, and entertain. Evoke a thought or a feeling, build trust, and even change minds. So, whatever your message. Whatever your aim, let me find the essential words you need. And with the writing taken care of, you can focus on the stuff you'd much rather be doing. Just think, no more writing woes. ✨"...with such a complex message, clarity was essential. You have succeeded where we had struggled and the brochure and documents you've written are pitched perfectly." ✨ Peter Tyler and Gordana Mandic, Directors, Tyler Mandic Ltd - Architects, Chelsea. Hi, I'm Andrew – a freelance copywriter who'll bring a fresh perspective to your copy. A writer of friendly, evocative and informative copy that'll capture your audience's interest. Paint a picture. Stir their imagination. And maybe their emotions too. It's the kind of copy I love writing. But more importantly for you, it's also rather effective. Why? Because the more your message stirs the imagination or evokes a thought or feeling, the more it'll engage and resonate with the reader. You'll draw them into your world. And make a lasting impression. All of which helps you create a deeper connection and build trust with those who share your vision and values – your ideal audience. As well as inspiring them to do more. Such as to buy from you, volunteer, hire your services, visit, call you, read more, donate, come and explore … ✨"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. At this point, you might be wondering why I write for such a variety of sectors. Well, before becoming a copywriter, I worked as a freelance landscape and location photographer. Producing editorial and commercial images, I specialised in photographing Britain's natural landscapes, architecture, 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. After all, it seemed a shame to waste all that experience and interest. ✨“What can I say? Your words took me on a journey. I was fully engaged and absolutely loved the writing style!" ✨ Toni-Ann Bird, Director, Guild House Estate Agents Ltd So, what would you like me to write?

    Here’s my key selling point. My bread-and-butter skillset. I like talking to people. No jargon, no waffle – just honest-to-goodness conversations about what you have to offer your client base. It’s an invaluable skill. Because if we can convey how beneficial – even transformative – your product or service is, in plain English that packs a punch, you’re on to a winner. Here’s the issue for you, though. Few people can write that adeptly. There’s a knack to turning industry spiel into lively, sparkling copy. See, I’m terrible at all sorts of things. Drawing. Cooking. Competitive sports. False modesty. I am, however, pretty darn good at expressing myself. Give me complex information and I’ll transform it into a reader-friendly blog, or press release, or homepage, or brochure. Maybe a white paper or ebook, if we’re feeling ambitious. Unlike an AI app, I can natter with an executive and instinctively work out what readers will like about their product. With a reporter’s doggedness, I’ll sniff out the information I need, then serve it to readers in a way that holds their attention. Heck, I’ll even throw in some well-placed jokes if you like. If you’re a SaaS business or fintech firm that’s reaching out to customers, for instance, or anyone in the market for case studies, white papers or a ghostwriter, then I’m ideal. The strange part is, I’m a physics graduate. Half of me’s precise and analytical, so I’m a diligent, methodical researcher with an eye for detail. Oh, and an information sponge. The other half, meanwhile, is a bit arty, a bit creative. I mean, I wrote an acclaimed book about Orwell that readers singled out for its jaunty prose. Mix these elements together and what do you get? More sales! Those wonderful conversions you dream about! Because who wants to trudge through boring content from a wordsmith with a “that’ll do” attitude? As a writer and editor, I’ve been intimately acquainted with brevity, clarity and accuracy for three decades now. A turning point came in 2010 when I joined CNBC Business magazine in London. When I wasn’t writing features, I was rewriting our international correspondents’ articles in colloquial English. More recently, I’ve used this skill to research and write advertorial supplements, executive interviews, thought leadership pieces, case studies and news stories for Elite Business magazine. Not to mention high-profile advertorial sites for CNBC! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s yack!

    The freelance copywriter who writes the words that work wonders.

    I'm going to level with you. I don't like writing about myself (which is ironic, given that I'm a copywriter). Sure, I could've filled this page with some generic drivel about how great I am. But who wants to read that contrived nonsense anyway? Let's talk about you. You've got a business to run. Clients to win. Products to push. Services to sell. Campaigns to conquer. Brands to build. You need the right words to make things happen. Words that excite. Engage. Inform. Persuade. Words that dance off the page and waltz into the minds of your audience. Words that make them stop, think, and act. The right words work wonders – the wrong words don't work at all. That's why I obsess over them as if my life depends on it. From long-form to short-form, every word counts. Every word has its place. Every. Single. One. So if you're lost for words, let me find them for you.

    I’m a copywriter and avid storyteller from Cornwall. I’ve been writing for my own ventures for the past 15 years, and most recently for Marriott hotels, London districts and adventure cruises. Since 2006, I’ve travelled to almost 50 countries and have been scammed by a street vendor in exactly one of them – I’m a quick learner. I’ve taught English as a foreign language, built a travel-inspired beauty brand, worked on superyachts and slept alongside three snoring Dutchmen on a volcano in Guatemala, but that’s another story. These days, I travel full-time, working remotely with clients in the travel and tourism industry, as well as with brands whose narrative is rooted in their location. Whether you’re an editor looking for a vivid travel feature, an adventure company needing a content co-pilot, or a small business struggling to tell the story of the place in which you’re based, I can help.

I create engaging sustainability-related copy for organisations striving to make a positive impact on people and the environment.

    Hey, I'm Lewis. I'm a freelance conversion (sales) copywriter based near Ipswich, Suffolk. I specialise in persuasive websites, landing pages, social media ads, emails and sales pages. “Lewis is a great copywriter. He has worked on ads and landing pages for us, both delivering fantastic results. He is easy to work with, enjoys collaborating and is always honing his skills. Highly recommended.” -- Stephen Bavister, Director/Founder of LexisClick Growth Consultancy My approach to copywriting is pretty straightforward. I believe we're guided by behavioural principles and evolutionary instincts that haven't changed in thousands of years. You see, before your conscious mind can process the information in front of you, your unconscious has already made its calculations. In fact, cognitive scientists say ~95% of our behaviour, emotion, decision-making (and more) depend on brain activity beyond our conscious awareness. And in over 200,000 years, that's not really changed. The outcomes are different, yes - we're not fighting for survival anymore - but the drivers are still very much the same. And once you know how to use them - and you've found what moves your reader - persuasion and encouraging action becomes a whole lot easier. It doesn't matter whether you sell online, door-to-door, over the phone, or in person... It all works the same way. ...and every business needs it. As a conversion copywriter, my job is to persuade. To convince your prospects to buy from you (or whatever your desired action might be), keep them coming back, and then do so as fast and as smoothly as possible. As of now, I've helped 55+ businesses across the UK generate more sales - either through websites, landing pages or social ads. And if you'd like to be next, send me a message now. Together we can turn your hesitant window shoppers into high-paying, loyal customers. Visit my website: lewisfolkard.co.uk Or send me an email. Fun facts about me: - I proudly eat kiwis with the skin on. - I graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in Automotive Materials Engineering. - I spend a lot of time with my life packed up inside a backpack. - I'm on a mission to visit 50 countries before I'm 30. (I've been to 40 so far) - I'm a guitarist and a huge fan of RHCP, especially John Frusciante.
