    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!

    I've been a professional copywriter running my own copywriting agency in Singapore for over 20 years and loving it! I'm from the UK, but manifest destiny took me to sunnier climes 30 years ago and I now spend my time travelling between the two. In an age of AI everything🤖, I am passionate about keeping copy human - you know, really digging deep into who you are and who your clients are, communicating clearly the bridge you provide to take your clients from Point A, their current state, to Point B, their desired state and all the great benefits and outcomes they'll get by choosing you. I specialise in: - documenting your brand voice so that we remove the common obstacles of marketing your message - by defining it clearly for you - writing the marketing materials that move the needle for your business: web pages, sales pages, case studies, stories for social media - training your in-house team to write better copy, when you've decided not to outsource Over the last 20 years I've written for MNCs, large SMEs, government agencies and business start-ups across all industries with a focus on hospitality, education, health and IT. I love simplifying messages so they are actually understood! I'm the copywriter businesses turn to when they been burned too often by wanna-be writers promising the moon and falling far short. The most common reaction I get from my clients? "We wish we'd found you sooner!" Other good-to-knows about me: - I'm a mum to two amazing young adults - I play the sax - 🎷 in my mind it's the sexiest sound on the planet (the sax - not me playing it) - I'm a 🐶 lover but we have a 😺.🤷 I've just joined this platform so my portfolio is blank right now until I upload some samples.
