Hi there! Thanks for stopping by - my name is Emily Haddington and I'm a senior copywriter and UX writer with more than a decade of experience writing for small to medium companies, start-ups and household names. Some of my clients have included HSBC, JP Morgan, Vodafone, P&G, TUI, Aquafresh, Taylor Wimpey, Microsoft, Google and Expedia. Sure, I'm a generalist - but to my mind, a good copywriter should be able to write about literally anything. I'm the co-founder of Haddington & Haddington, a Suffolk-based agency offering copywriting and UX writing services alongside AI copy rewrites and humanisation. I run the agency with my husband, David Haddington - an extremely talented web, digital, print and UX/UI designer. (He does a bloomin' good illustration, too). Copywriting I have a wealth of writing experience across a huge variety of sectors. Whether it's creating product descriptions for a small online start-up selling caravan upholstery, or UX copy for mortgage products for household names like HSBC, I can help with any project. Big or small, B2B or B2C. I've helped small local companies in Suffolk to sell more honey by improving their landing page copy, and I've given Marriott Hotels its key tagline for the naming of a luxury new hotel in Budapest. Whatever the copywriting challenge, I'm here to take it on! UX Writing Many copywriters say they're UX writers, but they don't have any UX background or design reputation to back it up. UX writing involves more than being able to write micro-copy for a button, or knowing your way around a wireframe. My agency is fully accredited by qualifications from the UX Design Institute, and we perform user testing and UX research alongside content design. I know the UX design process inside out - from user surveys and competitive benchmarking at the start, through to user flow analysis, affinity diagrams and customer journey mapping, and then user flows, wireframing and prototyping. I've been involved in UX writing projects for large brands such as JP Morgan/Chase, Vodafone and HSBC. AI-to-human copywriting services I’ll take your copy and strip out all the filler, AI buzzwords and jargon. What you’ll get is writing with a warmer tone, clear purpose, and a voice that truly reflects your brand. Gone overboard with ChatGPT? Or maybe that free AI content bot didn’t make the cut? If you’ve ended up with loads of articles that just aren’t converting, I can help. I'm used to rewriting large volumes of AI-generated content that’s missed the mark. Whether it’s product descriptions, service pages, or blog posts, I’ll transform flat, robotic copy into clear, natural content your audience actually wants to read! Get in touch with me today at emily@haddingtoncreative.com

I translate brand strategy into language that resonates, helping brands stand out with personality, clarity and impact. Collaborating with world-class agencies such as Wolff Olins, Johnson Banks, Taxi Studio, Manifest, and Territory as a senior brand writer, I craft brand voices, verbal identities and creative campaigns. I also partner directly with brands, and have a long-running relationship with Virgin that began with Virgin By Design – a coffee-table book charting the fascinating evolution of the brand from 1970–2020. After two decades as a design editor and journalist, I can dig deep to find what makes a brand tick – and express it in ways that captivate and resonate. In 2013, I launched the Brand Impact Awards to celebrate the world’s best branding. The BIAs have since grown into a key event in the design calendar, attracting world-class work from the best in the business. My role as chair of judges gives me unique insight into how brands stand out in a fast-changing world. From over a decade of intense panel debates, I’ve gained deep understanding of what makes world-class branding – knowledge I bring to every project. Every design agency works differently, so I adapt my approach to match your needs. Think of me as a senior extension of your team – bringing strategic writing expertise to your projects in whatever way works best. Whether you’re a small studio needing full-service support, a larger agency looking for specialist collaboration, or an in-house team wanting extra capacity, I’ll help create something beautifully effective. I offer day rates for focused briefs and project-based fees for larger initiatives. While I work remotely, I’m always available for key meetings when needed.

Website copy not doing your business justice? Struggling to get found online? Looking for support on the content front? So many founders and business owners are in the same boat. Luckily, these are the exact problems I fix. I'm Ben Hardman, a freelance copywriter and SEO specialist with 14 years of experience helping businesses grow their online presence. I work with purpose-driven founders and small-to-medium sized businesses - particularly in sustainability, health and fitness, and local services - who need quality copy, engaging content and effective SEO without the fluff. My work has generated millions of website pageviews and helped businesses significantly increase leads across their websites, Google profiles and LinkedIn. Ultimately, my work has a positive impact on your sales and revenue. From website copy and blog writing to SEO strategy and LinkedIn posts, I create content that connects with your audience and delivers results. Based in Manchester but working with businesses across the UK, I only partner with companies doing good—building something meaningful that makes people's lives or the planet better. Ready to amplify your impact when you are.

About - Are you worried that you sound the same as every other business in your field? - Struggling to pin down your brand story, positioning and tone of voice? - Do you need to bring clarity to complex topics to share with your customers or employees? - Is your copy so boring and wordy that even you yawn reading it? Since 2015, I’ve helped businesses in a variety of industries to tell their stories – corporate and product – online and offline. I work with senior leadership, comms and marketing directors and their teams, and frequently collaborate with their external agencies, too. For many of my clients, I’m an extension of their team, supporting them with one-off projects or providing regular content and copy for websites, campaigns, product brochures, corporate brochures and even awards entries (I’m developing quite an impressive track record in that department). Together, we can start from the beginning, doing the ground work to identify exactly what your brand stands for and establishing the tone of voice that will ensure your audiences want to hear what you have to say. Once we’ve established that, I can help you develop a content strategy – and help create the copy – that will turn readers into leads and sales. If you’ve already got your brand and tone of voice sussed, that’s great; it means I can get to work on your content straight away. I understand the challenges and pressures you’re facing because, before undertaking journalism training and becoming a freelance writer, I used to be a marketing and communications manager with responsibility for driving customer engagement, crafting persuasive sales copy and contributing to business growth. When we team up and collaborate – and we have a clear tone of voice to use – we can work on: • your website • e-books • white papers • articles and thought-leadership pieces • adverts and advertorials • annual/sustainability reports • newsletters – internal and external • awards entries • case studies • email campaigns • social media content Where appropriate, I use my journalism skills to support my writing with sound research and interviews with subject matter experts, either from within your business, your customers’ businesses, or from external organisations.

Do you need a new tone of voice or a brand refresh? Perhaps a video script, or your site rewritten. I'll be your guide. My USP: I'm an award-winning advertising copywriter and scriptwriter with 25 years of experience who has worked in B2B, consumer and healthcare. My training at the School of Communication Arts, and extensive writing background, means that I’m conceptual and strategic, and not simply a writer who fills in the blanks. I grasp the essence of each communications challenge quickly, and can help advise you on the best approach for your marketing strategy. How I can help: Whether you’re looking to launch or relaunch your brand, need a consistent tone of voice, a big communications idea with deliverables across multiple platforms, or simply a blog, an email campaign or a website refresh, I have the expertise to deliver copy that brings results. What I offer: My specialisms include advertising concepts, direct mail, press ads, posters, radio ads, social media, SEO content and online advertising. After interrogating the brief, I produce all types of written material, from banners and viral marketing, to TV, film and animation scripts, brochures, catalogues and flyers. Editorial services: If you’re looking for more straight-forward editorial assistance, I can proof-read and sub-edit your copy to help you optimise your content. Alternatively, I can write original copy from scratch or refresh your existing content. Committed to producing the best work, I check and double-check my copy every time. My approach: I’m equally happy working on my own; or in close collaboration with a creative director, art director or designer, as well as in larger, multi-disciplinary teams of software developers and project managers. I set high standards for myself and never compromise on quality. Working with me: When you work with me, you’ll discover I have the following skills: - conceptual thinking - commercial value add - both long and short copy - a flexible, versatile attitude - ability to build rapport quickly - quick learning capacity - a sense of fun A typical project begins by discussing the brief either face-to-face or over skype or zoom, email or by phone. We would then agree on deadlines and budget, any source content, and if appropriate, set milestones for delivery. I look forward to working with you. Still undecided? Here's what some happy clients of mine have to say: “Julia is a very talented scriptwriter. Her response to any brief is thoughtful, creative, highly structured, and presented with a clear and considered rationale. And it's always delivered bang on time. She has a flexible approach and is great in client-facing situations. She's able to produce beautifully crafted work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia to anyone in the creative industries whose first consideration is quality.” Kate Greenslade Video producer Freshly Made Films “Julia is a terrific writer and a brilliant addition to any team. She gets to grips with briefs at very short notice and can swiftly respond to deliver superbly crisp and clear copy that does the job perfectly.

She takes our extremely vague briefs and turns them into absolutely perfect copy. She is by far the best Copywriter we have ever worked with.” James Percy Managing Director Verasseti & Dreamspace UX “Julia kicks ass. She knows how to write well, she knows what reads well, and she knows the business inside and out. I was brand spanking new to ad copywriting when I first started working with Julia and most of the stuff I now know that's worth knowing, I learned from her. She is clear headed and will give no quarter in defending the word, the flow, the meaning of the work – all without being precious about the end product. Julia is a real pleasure to work and collaborate with.
