    Copywriter/Storyteller/Brand Strategy Expert/Franchising Specialist Customer behaviour is changing faster than ever before, so why should you surprised when what worked in the past isn't cutting it any more? With AI content easily available to everyone, the bar has been raised for any brand which wants to stand out from the crowd. People need to see real human connection, real stories. Otherwise you're likely to end up being lost in the noise, or being confused with just another "bot" spouting how great your business is... just like everyone else. So, what can do you about it? Leave the mediocre to the AI. Hire a human for the quality. I can produce the creative and innovative copy that you need to promote your product or idea. It's not about using clever words, it's about using the right words. Words which create a genuine human connection which gets results. Feel free to get in touch, and we can have a free, no obligation chat about your project. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

    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).

    Do you want your business to stand out in the new AI world? Do you want to be seen, heard and valued by your potential customers? AI SEO is here. But ironically, those businesses churning out generic marketing content using AI tools are less likely to be featured in AI search results, including Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. If you want your business to stay visible online, you’ll need to humanise your content using an authentic approach. Because the bots want deep, structured content that provides detailed and concise answers to people’s questions. And so do humans. As a Strategic Copywriter specialising in AI SEO, I can show you how to increase your online visibility with both your copy and your content marketing. Whether you want it done for you or you want to learn how to do it yourself, I can either write your content or teach you how it’s done. My copywriting and content services cover all aspects of digital marketing from website copy and blogs to LinkedIn profiles and social media posts. I can help you tell your story using an authentic brand voice and style that conveys both your offering and your values. I deliver strategic in-house and online training to companies of all sizes, and public seminars. I have a corporate background with decades of real business, marketing and communications experience that helps me write and run workshops for my clients. When you work with me you can also tap into a wealth of expertise and the latest best practice for online marketing, as I’m a Certified Digital Marketing Professional (DMI). And most importantly of all, I’m an ethical marketer who cares about their clients and my services are always affordable. Are you an IFA or a financial planner? I’m also a compliance-friendly copywriter for financial services. I can save you time (and headaches) by helping you jump through those compliance hoops with inspiring content that engages your readers. If you want to turn words into sales and stand out in the new AI world, then let’s talk. Call 01455 444731 or email: info@brightowlcopywriting.com www.brightowlcopywriting.com

    Over a 30-year career (yes, it really is that long!), I've written and edited copy for pretty much every sector - and probably yours. When I'm fuelled by a mug of tea, you'll find me unstoppable. I can turn from writing a case study on healthcare in the morning to thinking up a marketing slogan for workspace specialists after lunch and editing an annual report for a charity in the afternoon. I understand the pressures that you are under and the challenges you face, because I've hopped over the client fence twice – once as head of visual identity at ING Barings and then as head of PR and communications at Regus. I can help you execute your content strategy, giving you more time to spend on what you do best. You can rely on me to capture the essence of what you want to say, in the right tone of voice, and communicate your vision across case studies, blogs, emails, websites, product materials and newsletters. I'm a dab hand at editing and proofreading, too.

    "Why can't we just put it all in ChatGPT and see what comes out? Actual words from a senior client on a Zoom call with the hired copywriter (me) in the room, waiting for my brief. They weren't joking, either. The colleague who'd hired me explained patiently that sure, if they wanted a bland, generic report without any discernible tone of voice or sense of authority, by all means let's do that. But if what they really wanted was a punchy, attention-grabbing piece of collateral that would engage their clients, attract new ones, be persuasive and add genuine value to their digital resources, investing in the services of an experienced professional copywriter was probably the better option. Situation clarified, sanity prevailed. At least my version of it. But it's the kind of exchange I find myself increasingly involved in. Don't get me wrong. AI tools are great. Even copywriters use them to help things along! But if you want your content to sound authentic, to truly showcase the voice of your business, to pitch your messages in a way that speaks directly and compellingly to your target audience, you're still going to need a human being who can hit the sweet spot with your brief and write it. And that's where I can step in - a senior copywriter specialising in corporate digital content, blogs, long-form articles, reports, white papers and case studies. I'm also an experienced copy-editor as well as a trainer in written comms skills, working with training companies and providing tailored private courses for corporate clients. I've been in the words business since starting out as a print journalist when the world was young. My digital transformation journey has been one heck of a voyage. Here's what a couple of people have said along the way: "Piers’ ability to capture the essence of topic, replicate a tone and introduce original thinking along the way is second to none. Piers is my go–to consultant on all things copy. He is a master craftsman and a delight to work with." Imogen Osborne, The Pulse Business "It’s been brilliant working with Piers. His work on our collateral and marketing copy has made a significant difference to our business. People have commented on the improved tone, style and clarity and we’re already seeing better engagement with our content and deeper understanding of our proposition." Joe Parker, Brand Director, This is Motif Please get in touch if you're looking for someone to put the human back into your content.
