    About - Are you worried that you sound the same as every other business in your field? - Struggling to pin down your brand story, positioning and tone of voice? - Do you need to bring clarity to complex topics to share with your customers or employees? - Is your copy so boring and wordy that even you yawn reading it? Since 2015, I’ve helped businesses in a variety of industries to tell their stories – corporate and product – online and offline. I work with senior leadership, comms and marketing directors and their teams, and frequently collaborate with their external agencies, too. For many of my clients, I’m an extension of their team, supporting them with one-off projects or providing regular content and copy for websites, campaigns, product brochures, corporate brochures and even awards entries (I’m developing quite an impressive track record in that department). Together, we can start from the beginning, doing the ground work to identify exactly what your brand stands for and establishing the tone of voice that will ensure your audiences want to hear what you have to say. Once we’ve established that, I can help you develop a content strategy – and help create the copy – that will turn readers into leads and sales. If you’ve already got your brand and tone of voice sussed, that’s great; it means I can get to work on your content straight away. I understand the challenges and pressures you’re facing because, before undertaking journalism training and becoming a freelance writer, I used to be a marketing and communications manager with responsibility for driving customer engagement, crafting persuasive sales copy and contributing to business growth. When we team up and collaborate – and we have a clear tone of voice to use – we can work on: • your website • e-books • white papers • articles and thought-leadership pieces • adverts and advertorials • annual/sustainability reports • newsletters – internal and external • awards entries • case studies • email campaigns • social media content Where appropriate, I use my journalism skills to support my writing with sound research and interviews with subject matter experts, either from within your business, your customers’ businesses, or from external organisations.

    Are you (or your client) looking to expand into Brazil, the largest market in Latin America? You won't go very far with English materials - the most optimistic research shows that only 13% of the population are fluent in it! The truth is, if you want to sell to Brazilians, you need to sound like one. And now you can. I create content and advertising copy in my native Brazilian Portuguese - and I translate it too - for the lifestyle, hospitality and technology sectors. If you're looking for a Braziliantly Creative solution, contact me!

    You’ve built a purposeful brand and are looking to expand beyond your country's borders. But when you try to communicate your mission and passion to international customers, the message gets lost. Avoiding the usual buzzwords and clichés is a challenge, and you have a feeling that the words and copy that sound so natural in your own language feel awkward, confusing or unnecessarily complicated in English. (As someone who also markets their services in Italian, I know how hard this is). I help ethical European brands expand globally with strategic, culturally fluent English copywriting. Using my cross-cultural insight, I rebuild your messaging and texts in an English voice that’s natural and on-brand, so your international clients recognise and connect with you. Many of the businesses I collaborate with communicate with English speakers all around the world rather than specific markets, including those who speak English as a second, third or even fourth language. This takes a different approach to writing copy for a specific English market. Yes, you can play with words. But you need to do it inclusively. I can help you: - Build a consistent, confident brand voice you can be proud of (ask about Brand Voice Strategy) - Give you quick, expert feedback on your English copy, along with three actionable wins you can implement straight away (ask for the Brand Voice Checkup) - Get found, nurture international prospects and convert browsers into customers through strategic, culturally appropriate English copy (ask for English Copy & Content) - Help Made in Italy brands win global love (ask for Italian-to-English Transcreation, including SEO translation) 🌿 1% of turnover to the planet Words matter. But not as much as nature. I donate 1% of my turnover to environmental charities.

    I'm Chloe, and I work at mark-making*. I started while I was a student (MA Und. in Philosophy & English Literature), helping out a web developer pal with copy. He insisted that I could make a good living doing this work, and now, a couple of years on, it seems he was right. I'm interested in how content and copy help users around the web, and in the ever-changing fractal puzzle that is the email subject line. I make verbal assets with a creative team for new or re-imagined brands. It's exciting, and wonderfully fulfilling when we see them working hard out in the world. Biggest challenge so far? Web copy for a company of remote handling engineers that essentially put robots in disused reactors (but they wouldn't let me put it quite like that). Trading as Re:scrawl in collaboration with Moon Creative, I named and branded Grub (eatgrub.co.uk).
