UK Copywriters Directory - Content marketing

I like words.

Marketing translator & copywriter for businesses, people and brands in the lifestyle industry. Particularly passionate about creating copy for the outdoor sports, food & drinks and wellness industries. Fluent in French and Spanish.

Currently taking on freelance work. I’ve been writing copy for 8 years, and I cut my teeth working in-house for some of the UK’s biggest brands. So if you’re after a freelance copywriter who can write words for pretty much anything, I’m your woman. From toasters and washing machines, to cots, cupcakes and kettles, I’ve found the words to make all kinds of products sing. Born and bred in Manchester, I’m now based in Huddersfield - perfectly placed for clients across the North West, Yorkshire and beyond. From Manchester and Leeds to Sheffield and Liverpool, I can meet locally for coffee and a chat about your content, or even go global with a video call if you’re further afield. rebeccaramshawcopywriter.com

I'm a freelance senior copywriter, one hour from central London, working with marketers and advertising agencies around the world. I create sales copy, web content and campaigns. During two plus decades at top London agencies I've written for healthcare, travel, automotive and much more. With results like 2.7m Facebook story impressions in under three weeks for Tourism Ireland. I’ve delivered over 1000 projects in 17 markets, reaching audiences of 5m plus. I rewrote a website for breast cancer patients, increasing traffic by 38%. The new site won a ‘best practice’ award and became the client's benchmark for online patient support. From this project I learned how design, UX, and copywriting can seamlessly support each other. Prior to healthcare I honed my skills in B2C and B2B, for clients as diverse as Rolex and General Electric. I cut my teeth in traditional media, but have a passion for digital - having written extensively for social media and content marketing. This career experience gives me a deeper understanding of how to truly connect communications across channels. For example, I wrote a set of case studies for the UK’s largest property management company. Working with a team of five including another copywriter, a designer and the marketing manager we developed a Direct Mail and AdWords campaign. This led to a 23% increase in company site traffic, 1000+ case studies downloaded and a 14% increase in new business enquiries over 6 months. In my spare time I love renovating classic cars and motorbikes. The attention to detail, problem solving and concentration this demands helps to bring laser-like focus to my copywriting!

I’m a freelance copywriter based in Nottingham. I’ve been a writer of various stripes for more than 30 years, mostly for BT and its many brands. As senior copywriter and a founding member of BT’s in-house creative marketing agency, I wrote for consumer, business, public sector, and internal audiences across the BT Group, Business, EE, and Consumer brands. Before that, I spent five years as the senior copywriter and site editor for BT Business Digital, where I wrote and edited copy covering the entire digital customer experience from website content to order journeys, billing to marketing emails, with many diversions along the way. I’ve written and edited reports and brochures, marketing and social content, digital and direct marketing, customer comms, film and animation scripts, posters and press ads, blogs and infographics, websites, landing pages, tooltips, and order journey micro-copy. I’ve spent years training people in BT and its agencies on how to apply tones of voice, and how to create clear, accurate, and vibrant copy. And in what historians call ‘the old days’, I spent a few years dabbling as a rock journo in the national music press, following a lengthy stint producing photo love stories in Sheffield for Blue Jeans, Patches, and Jackie magazines.

NO FLUFF, CHARACTER-RICH COPY. WRITTEN FOR HUMANS, LOVED BY GOOGLE. I’m a seasoned copywriter and certified content marketer with more than 25 years’ experience, specialising in SEO-optimized blog posts and websites that fizz with personality. WHAT EXACTLY DOES A COPYWRITER DO? I craft the headlines and sentences that persuade your customers to take the action you want. I write words that make them feel, think, nod in agreement, and – ideally – take a step closer to taking the action you want.  That’s copywriting. It doesn’t matter if you sell fluffy toys to dog lovers, or high-tech software to government departments. You have a brand, and a story to tell. Copywriting is the crucial element that engages the hearts and minds of your audience and makes them feel warm and fuzzy about your business. SO, WHAT IS CONTENT MARKETING? Knowing how to write engaging copy is a great start, but it isn’t enough. Knowing who you are trying to attract, how your business solves their problem, and what information they're looking for . . .that’s the secret sauce. You see, content marketing isn’t about advertising your business. It’s about producing consistently relevant and entertaining information that wows your audience with its usefulness and value, builds trust and credibility for your brand, and turns people into loyal customers over time. AND WHERE DOES SEO FIT INTO ALL OF THIS? From a copywriting perspective, SEO – in its simplest form - is the art of knowing how and where to sprinkle keywords through the content. From a content marketing perspective, it’s about knowing what information Google is looking for on the topic you want me to write about. Google’s job is to deliver useful and relevant content to its searchers in response to the questions they ask. If I answer those questions in your content, it stands a better chance of pleasing the Google Gods and ranking higher than your competitors. So, fundamentally, SEO is the art of writing blogs, websites, and other content worthy of a Page #1 ranking on Google. And that’s the service I provide. But I do it in collaboration with you. To get the ball rolling, you need to provide me with a great brief (we can do that in collaboration too if you like). Then I do some initial research and ask you loads of questions. And I’ll probably come back and ask you loads more. Then I craft the words to please the Google Gods, captivate your audience, and put the oomph into your online marketing. “Mel Wicks is a talented writer who knows how to produce the goods.
