UK Copywriters Directory

  • PRO
    I’m Jim, a freelance copywriter based in London. That’s the introduction over. Now let’s get on with the important stuff - SELLING! No doubt you’ve been clicking around this directory in search of a copywriter whose profile really speaks to you and now your finger’s starting to ache. Let's rid you of that pain, and make this the last click the old nose-picker makes today – at least in terms of finding a writer, that is. I’m highly experienced (16 years copywriting and 25+ years working in sales and marketing). I’ve worked with SMEs, start-ups, agencies, and corporates (more than 200), and I can write pretty much any type of sales and marketing copy (though I can’t write nonsensical fluffy stuff or corporate nonsense). My successes are big: ADVERTISING AND WEBSITE COPYWRITING Commercial interiors company – 20,000% ROI WEBSITE, NEWSLETTER, AND ARTICLE WRITING Domestic plumbing company – 68% newsletter open rate and #1 ‘Holy Grail’ key phrase Google rankings WEBSITE COPYWRITING AND SALES TRAINING (yes, I do that too) Record producer – 75% increase in bookings SALES AND INTRODUCTION LETTER COPYWRITING Largest independent estate agency – 55 sales letters written (you know, the ones that convince people to sell their house, even when they had no initial intention of doing so) I could go on, but you get my drift… my writing works! Some of my clients are big, too: -Tesco -Haart estate agents -Weber BBQ -Wildfowl and Wetland Trust -Ricoh -Protect My Bubble MY VALUE-ADD However, I’m guessing you’re quite savvy – especially as you’re putting time and effort into finding the right copywriter. Therefore, you want more… you want a real value-add that’s going to make it more likely you’ll be skipping over the success winning line. That’s music to my ears… a client who won’t settle for mediocre. So, now you’re asking: “Okay, Jim, other than your sharp wit, good looks, and unrelenting charm, what’s so special about you?” It’s simple. I’m a salesman. I’ve had the good fortune (and misfortune) of running multiple businesses, so I truly understand what drives you and what I have to challenge within you to get the very best result. Yes, you read that right – challenge YOU. It’s not about what I write; it’s about how we solve the problems of your potential customers and, how we edge them towards spending their money with you – not your competitors. When we speak, I’m going to make you think about your business in a way that you never previously considered. I’ll start by asking you the two simplest questions you’ve ever been asked; but I guarantee you’ll be absolutely stuck for the answers. That will be our starting point. And hey, you can challenge me too - that's how we'll get the best result! Also, remind me to tell you about KASUE: a sales methodology I created that’s 100% guaranteed to help you close any deal. It beautifully complements AIDCA, the most famous sales method in history, still used to this day. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about that too. Use another finger and get in touch with me right now. I’m waiting to hear from you. I’ve already got a shed load of ideas about your business, and you’d be mad not to hear them. Catch you shortly.

    Looking back now, it’s obvious I was only ever going to be a freelance copywriter. You see, whether I was working in an office, a marketing department, or with the clients of the digital agency I co-founded, I was always the go-to-guy for words. As soon as I realised those words could prompt action, improve search rankings, and tempt people to click, share and buy, well, I was hooked. When I’m not writing, I’m reading about writing. About the psychology of persuasion and the science behind why we buy. I’m keeping tabs on new techniques and looking for every inch and opportunity to make sure it’s my client’s brand, product or service that wins the day. So, if your next marketing campaign, blog, website or brochure needs words, then I know a guy who’ll write them. Spoiler alert: It’s me.

    Many years ago… I left university with a science degree and a desire never to have to drip things into test tubes again! I entered the world of communications agencies, developed my creativity and learned to use words to tell stories and promote my clients' products. I really loved the writing and a desire to use this skill to explore new topics and concepts prompted my move to freelance copywriting. Working mainly in healthcare, science and technology, I have developed a knack for taking complex information and making it relatable to the person on the street, the research professor and everyone in between. There’s not much I won’t tackle and I have written and edited sales materials, case studies, patient information, web pages, social media posts, newsletters, magazines, white papers, meeting reports, award entries and media materials. I have even dabbled in poetry but I am not sure that was as successful! I have a natural curiosity, grasp concepts quickly and find it easy to get to grips with new subject matter both inside and outside my usual field. Being from a comms background I also have a good grounding in message development, a skill I find invaluable in helping clients who have something to say but aren’t sure how to say it.
