I develop and deliver digital content marketing strategies that align with your business goals. Every web page, post, and press release is carefully designed to build brand awareness and convert interested browsers into loyal customers. Iโve been a busy freelance copywriter and marketing specialist since 2019. Before that, I worked in project management and conflict resolution.

I'm an editorially-led writer (that is, I write narratives not sales copy) with close to 30 years' experience as a professional content creator. I'm here to tackle your articles, your editing and proofreading, and your business storytelling. As a writer, my experience takes the form of brand journalism and content marketing for a range of industries: technology, security, pharma, financial services, professional services, global business, music and film, marketing communications and mental health. I am as adept at long-form as I am at short, and take pride in finding creative angles and writing engaging, shareable pieces. As an editor, I take a conversational approach. I'm not about being a stickler for Proper Grammar; my early career in newspapers taught me to write how people speak, and I bring that to my editing as well. Does it read well? Will changing something make it clunky or improve the flow? It's all about the reader. As a proofreader, I have an eagle eye for detail. I'm increasingly finding my eyes going to the typos in published material and being amazed they got through. I'm here to help make sure that doesn't happen to you. I'm a registered member of the UK's Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders and committed to its standards. As a senior content strategist for B2B, I can help get your newsroom in shape through: >Content reviews and analysis >Workshops to set content themes and topics >Setting up governance and processes for optimum efficiency >Scheduling posts and running content calendars >Running content meetings and mentoring your staff to do the same >Getting your internal newsroom running like a well-oiled machine In short, I'm an editorial specialist who helps make your content sing, helps your in-house writers get up to speed, and gets your own processes and strategy into shape. Nice to meet you.

When you're tired of being just another voice shouting into the marketing noise... When you want to build distinctive, living brands, sustained by authentic stakeholder relationshipsโฆ Here's where to come. * Branding and Brand Strategy * Creative Concepts & Copy * PR * Speeches * Storytelling * Iโm 66 with a 40-year career in communications, providing Board-Level / C-suite support to big names in areas as diverse as corporate philanthropy, expedition cruises, packaging, medicine and motorcycling. I consequently offer deep and extensive experience of branding, copywriting and storytelling, working both in-house and as a freelance for advertising agencies, blue-chip multinationals, philanthropic organisations and non-profits alike. The services I provide range from board-level support with communications strategy and brand development to writing copy and concepts for B2B and B2C commercials, video scripts, print ads, website banners, press releases, social media posts and reposts, CRM emails/newsletters, themed and more conventional annual reports, internal communications (including to support change management), speeches, correspondence with critical stakeholders, crisis communications and even competition submissions. I also provide brand custodianship services (including AI custodianship). In addition, I have experience as a journalist and have organised large events. I was the Chair of the Brighton-based charity SIS for around 11 years, and a Trustee of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. In the latter role, I was also a consultant to the Lord Chancellorโs Department. During these positions and in my work as a senior copywriter and creative director, I have recruited and supervised teams at all levels, providing close individual support and mentorship.

I specialise in writing copy and content for professional membership organisations, associations, and education providers. Why? Because I love writing for sectors that advocate for life-long learning, development and discovery. And I find that people who work in these sectors are usually really nice! Iโve got a long history working with professional bodies. In fact, I started my career in marketing at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. I moved on to work for student and youth brand, STA Travel, where I honed my writing-for-a-student-audience skills editing the weekly newsletter, running social media campaigns, producing some cracking blog content and managing the eCRM strategy for four global divisions. Since going it alone, Iโve written for clients like the Expert Witness Institute, Chartered Governance Institute, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). Iโve also worked with education provider, Study Group, on email campaigns for Royal Holloway University, University of Strathclyde, and University of Sussex. When Iโm not working, youโll find me attempting to raise two small humans, obsessing over celebrities (the more z-list, the better) and telling myself to go for a run.
