    Lex

    Hi, I’m Lex. I’ve been helping brands find their voice and tell their stories for over 15 years. I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes doing things like defining tone of voice and training people to use it, naming products and companies, work-shopping key messages, and copywriting for all kinds of things. Recently, I’ve set the tone for a fintech start-up, helped a very popular video game company define its voice, and named a couple of boozy businesses.

    Hi. I'm a copywriter with a background in design. I trained as a product designer, then worked in design management, business development and PR for several high profile branding/design consultancies before starting my own freelance copywriting business in 2004. Since then I've worked across a broad range of sectors on all forms of marketing copy as well as scripting videos, ghost-writing articles, and compiling award entries. I've also pulled together a book called Square Pegs for a Community Interest Company I founded in 2020. I live in Hove, am often in London and happy to travel and am used to working remotely.

    I'm a recovering barrister turned ghostwriter for employment lawyers who'd rather be practising law than marketing themselves. I get it. After 13 years at the Bar, the last thing I wanted to do was promote myself. But here's what I learned: good work doesn't market itself. Here's what happens: you're getting attention (LinkedIn posts, speaking gigs, maybe even press features), but you've got no way of converting that into actual enquiries. A "Contact us" button and a generic newsletter signup won't cut it. What works instead? Educational email courses. Five-day journeys that position you as the authority in your field while solving real problems your prospects face. Think of it as a gentle nudge towards "I should probably instruct this person". No hard sell. No weekly panic about what to post. Just strategic content quietly doing its job in the background. I also write social content and newsletters for lawyers who want to build credibility without feeling like they're constantly trumpet-blowing (controversial opinion: LinkedIn could do with a lot less of that). I bring a lawyer's appetite for research and eye for detail to every project. Which is a polite way of saying I ask too many questions and obsess over whether a sentence could be clearer. Before focusing on ghostwriting, I worked across professional services, tech and SaaS, writing everything from web copy to pitch decks. I've mentored over 230 copywriters and I'm a member of the Premium Ghostwriting Academy. If you're an employment lawyer (or professional services firm) looking to turn expertise into clients without the endless self-promotion (and let's be honest, nobody really enjoys that part), I'd welcome the conversation.

    Mel

    I use words to prompt action from your customers. My favourite copy is short, sweet and sometimes sweary. I'll boil your message down to its core essence. Like a chef reducing down a jus. Then I'll add in some personality. Like the class joker farting in assembly. I do... 🔹️ ad straplines 🔹 posters 🔹 billboards 🔹 ads projected onto the moon 🔹️ hero copy 🔹 villain copy 🔹️ naming projects 🔹️ core messaging, values 🔹️ ad scripts 🔹️ landing pages 🔹️ socials 🔹 anti-socials A bit about me... I have a beautiful clickedy-clackedy keyboard. I'm not saying it gives me the edge over other copywriters but I'm also not *not* saying that. I have two daughters (who I love more than the keyboard - this list is in no particular order). I believe gherkins/pickles go with any savoury dish. Prove me wrong. For a decade I represented Great Britain in a sport you've probably never heard of. I'm patient, a good team player; completed Grand Theft Auto 5 with my husband without getting divorced. Get in touch for copy with character.

    I'm an independent senior copywriter with 30 years' experience (I started young). I'm also Content Director at Executive Influence. My mission is simple: to help your B2B brand win business, acquire talent, and attract investors by making more of the often overlooked knowledge, expertise, and opinion that sits in your leadership teams. This I do by creating high-quality executive content that supports your strategic goals, inspires trust, establishes authority, and influences the decision-makers you want to reach. The result? More visibility, more connections, more opportunities, and, ultimately, more business. It’s how I helped one MD capture a £2m opportunity that led to a £20m one. It’s how I helped one CEO achieve a 33:1 ROI with a targeted piece of content. And it’s how I helped one Marketing Director hit 500+ whitepaper downloads by senior leaders in his industry – and, in the process, generate close to £200k of revenue (and counting). If these aren't compelling reasons to invest in your executive content, what are? 20 YEARS AT WRITERS Before setting up Executive Influence, I co-founded Writers in 2001. Our mission: to help businesses and brands in the UK and around the world tell their stories, bring their ideas to life, and get their messages across. With 30 years' full-time writing experience, I'm quick on the uptake, whatever the subject or comms objectives of the brief. I love bringing dry, dusty, or technical subjects to life, which may explain why I write a lot for technology companies, and financial and professional services firms. AWARDS If they're important to you, I've made it into the D&AD Annual a few times and won a Transform award for 'Best use of copy style/tone'. Though, to be honest, I've always put effectiveness before industry gongs. More importantly, I've had lots of clients say nice things about my work (testimonials available on request). Once, a boardroom spontaneously applauded after reading my articulation of their brand (also available on request). Brands I’ve worked with are many, but here are a few of my faves: Aldi, American Airlines, Astra Zeneca, Bacardi, Barclays, Ciena, English Heritage, Environment Agency, Goldsmiths, Kings College London, Lloyds Bank, MasterCard, Mercedes, Nationwide, NIG, Reckitt Benckiser, Renishaw, Reuters News Agency, Rolls-Royce, SKY, Thales in the UK, Thomson Reuters, Triodos Bank, UEFA, Universities of Aberdeen, Bristol, Bradford, Glasgow and Greenwich, Vodafone, Worldpay and Zurich. BRAND WRITING I can also help brands articulate who they are, what they do, and why they're special. I do this by developing value propositions, messaging frameworks, style guidelines, and tones of voice. In fact, I've created new tones of voice for folk like the Natural History Museum, global US law firm Latham & Watkins, TNT International, City University London, Hotel du Vin and Malmaison. So their values as an organisation cut through strongly in their comms. PROJECT MANAGEMENT I’m an experienced project manager and have run writing teams on large-scale and short-notice projects for outfits like Vodafone Group Enterprise, the BBC, Triodos Bank, Cable & Wireless Worldwide (now part of Vodafone) and the University of West London. QUALIFICATIONS I have a degree in linguistics and have completed Marketing Week's Mini MBA in Marketing taught by Professor Mark Ritson. It covers the same core marketing modules as leading MBA programmes and has been more use to me than all my higher education combined. Anyway, enough about me. Let's talk about you. How can I help?
