    Copywriter. Storyteller. Bookworm. Owned by a dog that looks like a sausage. Hello there, Iโ€™m Leesa. I see you and I see your problem. Your hard work is paying off. Youโ€™re so damn good at what you do that youโ€™re expanding, hiring new staff, and going after a wider customer base. Thatโ€™s bloody brilliant. Only thing is, that old generic messaging just wonโ€™t do anymore. Youโ€™ve got some decent copy out there, but youโ€™ve also got this sneaking suspicion that itโ€™s all a bitโ€ฆpatchy. I get it. When you started out, you were juggling more balls than my sister at that hen do. You just needed to chuck some words up. But now youโ€™re playing in the big leagues, you canโ€™t get away with saying you unlock and elevate stuff anymore. You could hire a copywriter to write one thing, for one moment, in one format. Or you can build a solid brand story that will inform every marketing asset you create from here on in. Hello, I'm Leesa. I'm a copywriter with a background in social sciences, comms, and leading large teams. I know words, I know people, and I've been studying storytelling for over two decades. ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ, ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป: Your customer - the thing they want, the thing thatโ€™s getting in their way, and why it matters.

    From sustainable energy to cloud computing, electric vehicles to AI apps, I help technology businesses talk about complex subjects in a language their audiences understand. With more than fifteen years of experience as a B2B journalist, editor and copywriter, I specialise in making technical topics clear and engaging, without dumbing down. Working with clients such as Schneider Electric, Microsoft and Kantar, I draw on expert interviews, industry analysis and technical material to build compelling narratives โ€“ cutting through jargon to address real strategic and practical concerns. I can work with you to create white papers, long-form articles and reports that demonstrate thought leadership and industry authority โ€“ and drive conversations further through blogs and web content. Having worked in senior editorial roles at specialist trade publications and written features for national publications such as the Guardian and Sunday Telegraph, I apply rigorous standards, strong research skills and sound judgment across all my work. ________________________________ "Having worked with Jonathan for many years, I highly value his discerning, efficient and reliable writing capabilities." โ€” Phil Rigg, Editorial Director at MRM UK "Jonathan has consistently delivered high quality content on complex topics, driving organic traffic well above our benchmark." โ€” Romain Adde, Marcom Manager for Power Systems and Services at Schneider Electric

    Copywriter, author, thought leadership writer, disruptive consultant, personal branding expert, ghost-writer and journalist with almost 39 years of experience as a professional writer. I believe I am among the very best copywriters working in the UK and globally. I work mostly remotely, for clients across the world. I have written for and consulted for clients across business, charity, quangos and politics. These include Channel 4, Transport for London, Amazon, Borkowski.do, Edenspiekermann, Airbnb, Red Bull, Open Data Institute, NESTA, RatedPeople, Natwest, Arts and Humanities Research Council, Debt Hacker, Child Poverty Action Group, Freuds, Hays, ThoughtLDR, Allegory, LastMinute.com, HaMuch.com, Founders Pledge, Humanade, Vivienne Westwood and HSBC. I write to a very high standard and my work on architecture, AI, LLMs, BCorps, technology, building, construction, youth subcultures, fashion, the arts, data, health, campaigning and artists can be found in the Guardian, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, FT and Dwell magazine. I also write about these topics for commercial clients, taking them into tier one media with thought leadership, personal branding, ghost-written op-eds and ideas for PR campaigns. I work both remotely and in-house, taking on contracts or working ad hoc, as needed. My copywriting and consultancy work has a dedicated website at thisidea.co.uk. I have written two books for major publishers and am comfortable writing for online or for print, producing short SEO-friendly copy that will keep people reading or blogging in your brand tone of voice. I am at home generating ideas, writing charity leaflets or penning 4,000 word essays for artists' catalogues. I have also been called in to deliver corporate emails, ghost writing for CEOs and founders, site architecture, strategy, charity campaigns, bids and major copy overhauls for websites and apps. I have written financial copy and terms and conditions for online and offline business. I am known as an innovator and am often ahead of the curve, which is why I have also been asked to carry out re-brands and re-thinks for major PR agencies. I can promote your organisation via thought leadership, ghost-write for your CEO, write staff profiles and blogs, or even teach staff how to write well for your business. My work is cited in several dictionaries, is part of the Open University English syllabus and has inspired several university research projects. I also work regularly with academics and universities. I am director of a company that deals in social history and the arts, which is one of my specialisms. You can see my journalism and books at iainaitch.com. Let's set up a meeting to discuss what I can do for you. "Iain is part of a community of collaborators I deploy when I am stuck for ideas or need inspirational copy. His propensity for and knowledge of left-field ideas is a thing of wonder." Mark Borkowski, founder Borkowski PR "Over the last two years, I have enjoyed working closely and collaboratively with Iain, who is highly-adept at picking up and running with the latest ideas in AI, data, and technology. He has a knack of making the new, and the complex both interesting and accessible for a wider audience. He does this without loss of rigour, he does not 'dumb down', and produces material that finds favour with existing experts. Moreover, he is able to come up with original takes on developments in AI, data, and technology that command the mediaโ€™s attention. He always adds a distinct human touch to his work, whether that be thought leadership, speech-writing, or ideas for media content, making considered arguments during the creative process and in his finished work." Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Executive Chair of the Open Data Institute and Principal of Jesus College, Oxford. "Itโ€™s clean its lean and it does exactly what I want it to do. Youโ€™ve brought my idea to life, beautifully. I canโ€™t thank you enough for all your hard work." Michelle Grahame, Director, Virtually Working "Iainโ€™s creative mind is the sort one wants to handle problems. He scurries away and quietly broils up a series of marketing and public relations ideas that lesser people would only conceive with breathtaking amounts of off-label medication. I endorse Iainโ€™s abilities, and his good sense to put them in the service of legal commerce rather than villainy." Jason Martin, CEO, Iotum

    You're busy, so let's keep this quick. Here are 4 questions my clients ask: ONE: How much do you charge for copywriting and content writing? Around ยฃ400 per day, depending on your business, the writing which is needed, and the deadline. Small businesses and charities generally pay less than agencies and larger businesses. Once we have a discovery call and I learn all about your business, I'll create a bespoke proposal outlining your whole project and the exact costs. You'll know the full costs of the project before you sign the contract. The only reason the price will change is if the scope changes, but we'll discuss this if it arises. TWO: Are you available now? Sort of. Very likely, yes. I intentionally leave lots of space in my diary for quick projects, such as a page of website copy, or a couple of blogs. So, if I can squeeze in some work I will. I really get a kick out of helping people, and I get that you might need some copy fast. Depending on the exact deadline you need (AKA: how late I'll have to work in the evening or if I'm working over a weekend) I might need to include a 25% rush fee. Generally, it takes around 6- 8 weeks to complete a copywriting project like a white paper or a full website. I can be booked for these projects 2- 3 months in advance. We can discuss exact deadlines in your discovery call. THREE: Are you an experienced copywriter? Yes. I've written everything from SEO blogs to Instagram captions to Deliveroo listings. I've written white papers and website copy. I've written newsletters and emails and product descriptions. I'm pretty gosh darn confident I could write anything you wanted. I mostly write for fabulous small UK business owners, but I've also worked with digital agencies, national brands, and international businesses. My writing has even appeared in the press, and I've got a burgeoning Substack newsletter. Head to my website for examples of my writing. FOUR: What happens when a client works with a copywriter?Everyone's got their own processes, but this is how I work best. 1. We start with a discovery call, which lasts up to 30 minutes. This is where I learn exactly what youโ€™re looking for, the deadline, and your budget. 2. Iโ€™ll write you a proposal. If youโ€™re happy to proceed, Iโ€™ll send you a contract and an invoice for 50% of the fee. 3. It's time for you to create a super detailed brief. I can help you with this. 4. I write your first draft and send it to you. You tell me about anything which needs to be edited. 5. I edit the first draft and send draft two back to you, with the final invoice. 6. You upload the copy to your website, or send it to your email list, or post on social media, and start engaging with your customers. 7. (And, perhaps you write me a lovely testimonial too? Hey, a girl can dream!) That's it! Easy, huh? "Bonnie refined my brand voice and optimised what I wanted to say into a condensed and easy- to- read format. All my conversations with Bonnie were natural and productive. She delivered all that she promised in a timely and professional manner." I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your business.

    Want your website to work harder in '26 than '25? Let me help. We'll figure out exactly what your customers need, then I'll develop a strategy to transform 'meh' websites into definitely-not-meh ones. That means site-plans, wireframes, words, headers, keywords โ€“ the lot. Here's what I can do for you... 1/ Websites Your website should be one of your biggest money spinners. If it's not โ€“ dang. Let me dissect what you currently have, reimagine it, plan a better approach and then deliver hooky, punchy copy built with user experience, conversion and SEO in mind. Working on web copy for launches or relaunches is what I do most days (please see my freelance copywriter website for testimonials). 2/ Interviews When you need a seasoned writer to extract a great story from someone important โ€” such as a time-pressed CEO or case study participant โ€” I rely on 20+ years of experience and literally thousands of completed projects to deliver what you need. Last time I checked, AI still can't do this. 3/ Fix 'meh' AI copy Let's not pretend no one in marketing is using AI copy. If AI content is a necessity in your organisation, I can give it the shot of multivitamins it needs so it reads well, is accurate, and is rinsed of those irksome AI-isms that piss off search engines and bore the pants off readers. Human AI editing is a thing โ€“ and I can help. Check out my page on AI copy editing services for more details. Note: We don't have to go anywhere near AI if you'd prefer not to. I also offer documentable, non-infringing, 100% original copy โ€“ just as I have throughout my career. Whatever works for you. I regularly look after other kinds of work, too, such as: * Marketing emails and newsletters that generate clicks. * Survey results/analysis/reports (I'm a bit of a wizz with numbers). * Corporate copy without the corporate speak. * International copywriting (when you need a native-English copywriter for that all-important text aimed at a global market โ€“ I do this for clients in Sweden, Finland, Poland, Denmark and Japan). * White papers on almost anything. * LinkedIn and Facebook ads. * Print and digital brochures, sales PDFs, and more. Over the years, I have: * Got lost in creative work for everyone from Samsung to Cannes Lions and Harrods. * Generated meticulously planned (and written) launch copy for countless websites โ€“ large and small. I've heard what I do described as "information architect," but I'm not buying it. * Created social media content for all the main channels. * Penned copy for technical guides, flyers, billboards, packaging, and LinkedIn profiles. * Helped numerous brands to increase web traffic, conversions, and time on site. If you need a sharp, efficient, highly skilled writer who 'gets' things quickly and doesn't faff about... drop me a line. --- "We've discovered a true wordsmith in Mike. I am proud to recommend him to those in need of exceptional copywriting services."
