Hello! I’m Lindsey, otherwise known as Wordy Bird, I’m an experienced freelance copywriter with a background in B2B and professional services. As you might expect from the name, I absolutely love words and what they can achieve. I love the way they can inform, persuade, convince, inspire and encourage. But more than that, I’m fascinated by the psychology behind the words. I enjoy the challenge of trying to find the right words that will motivate someone to buy your product or service. I’ve worked for a wide range of clients in various sectors including financial planning, accountancy, mortgages, marketing, IT and telecoms, charities, education and the arts.But I’ve also written about pond dye so this Wordy Bird isn’t one for being pigeon-holed. The type of projects I usually take on include: - Blog creation - Mailers, adverts - Content Strategy - Case studies, client stories - Brochures, guides - Straplines - Video scripts - Press releases - Email campaigns, newsletters - Landing pages, website copy. - Tone of voice But whatever the format, I’m here to create copy that will engage your audience and make them sit up and notice. It would be great to find the right words for your business. Take a look at my website for more details and do get in touch for a chat.

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!

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.

Copywriter/Storyteller/Brand Strategy Expert/Franchising Specialist Customer behaviour is changing faster than ever before, so why should you surprised when what worked in the past isn't cutting it any more? With AI content easily available to everyone, the bar has been raised for any brand which wants to stand out from the crowd. People need to see real human connection, real stories. Otherwise you're likely to end up being lost in the noise, or being confused with just another "bot" spouting how great your business is... just like everyone else. So, what can do you about it? Leave the mediocre to the AI. Hire a human for the quality. I can produce the creative and innovative copy that you need to promote your product or idea. It's not about using clever words, it's about using the right words. Words which create a genuine human connection which gets results. Feel free to get in touch, and we can have a free, no obligation chat about your project. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

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?

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.
