    Rob

    Hi, I’m Rob. And I’m a creative leader with 16 years experience of managing the creative process from inception to completion through both my own work and mentoring other members of the team. I have: • Got SSC Napoli to help make deliveries over the busy Christmas period • Helped a lady order her shopping while being attacked by territorial squirrels • Made the nation get excited for the biggest baking event on TV • FINALLY revealed the truth behind why the sky is blue and what, exactly an Arancini ball is • Turned an Echo Dot into a sled • Encouraged school children to write to the Prime Minister • Got mums across the UK sharing motherhood stories on Mother's Day - through a Facebook Canvas ad • Taught 200,000 (and counting) people how to open a bottle of beer using a piece of paper • Turned The Cutty Sark into a photo opportunity as iconic as The Leaning Tower of Pisa • Changed the way women experiment and purchase makeup • Been nominated for awards and won a few too I like to be creative at every opportunity. To that end, in my spare time, (and when not raising a child!) I enjoy photography, illustration, writing (I’ve had a short story published in an eBook compilation of short stories. I’ve also self-published two eBooks) and…gardening.

    About Hiya, I'm Emily. A copywriter and content strategist with over 13 years' experience in-house and agency-side. ✎ I've written about A LOT of weird and wonderful topics: from lippies and mascaras to chatting all things meat and abattoirs (yup...) 🤓 I'm a bit of an SEO nerd. You'll find me constantly swotting up in an attempt to keep ahead of all things content. 🤖 I specialise in digital content, but I've also got a tonne of experience in print (think menus, magazines & brochures). 💖 Branding & TOV is my bag. I love nothing more than getting under the skin of a brand's voice.

    My style is informal and witty. Some may say irreverent. But at least it's never 'corporatey', jargon-filled or vanilla-flavoured. I could be described as a marketing all-rounder. I've worked in the industry for over thirty years, with stints in various ad agencies, as a media buyer on client side, as a press officer and even a print buyer. In the last twenty years I've settled for my first love: writing. First in-house and now as a freelancer. I work with a range of clients, from creative design agencies, SEO consultants and web developers, to multinationals and SMEs. But I especially like working for clients who give me free stuff. I live in London, like to run and have a season ticket at Arsenal. I also have a quirky sense of humour. (Those last two statements may be related.)

    A strategy and tone-of-voice-led copywriting and communications specialist. I believe that every piece of marketing should have a strategy behind it. I work with business owners and agencies to provide a comprehensive approach to their marketing, communications and business strategies. I was a music journalist for ten years, so the required skills of deep research, discretion, and getting a point across without slapping the reader in the face are skills that came in handy when I started copywriting full-time. I also work part-time as Head of Marketing and Operations for a cultural transformation company; I like the team, and the work keeps me up to date with the latest developments and trends in the world of generalist marketing.

    I do the words. Usually about science. I’ll take your complex ideas and turn them into words people care about. Words they understand. No jargon. No business bullshit. No cross-vertical innovative solutions and backward synergy overflow. Just words that mean something. Words people remember. You want to be memorable, right? Stand out? Of course you do. Well, I can do that for you. Copy, content, random words or even the occasional scribble – whatever you need. But wait, there’s more! More I tells ya! I can help you think about strategy, how to squeeze the most from your content, how to change the dusty stuff you’ve always done because that’s how you’ve always done it. I’ll give you consulting clout to go along with the words. Copy cred And look, I’ve got credentials: I've been writing since 2011 and sciencing since 2000. I’ve come up with words for for big Pharma, charities and everything in between. I’ve writen for doctors, scientists and patients. I’ve explained stem cells, antibodies and disease, as well as pollution, plastics and proper protocols for the lab. If it’s life-sciencey, I’ve probably written something about it. Things I’ll do I can do ads in fancy journals, donation appeals, serious technical guides, friendly public explainers, tone of voice stuff, hilarious and brilliant blogs, email campaigns that convert, microcopy that matters, social media, internal comms and branding. I like all those things and I’m pretty decent at them to say the least. Things I won’t do Whatever “that” was Meat Loaf wouldn’t do. Oh, and long, boring whitepapers about your paradigm-shifting whatever, the “We’re excited to announce” posts and the content churn just for the sake of it – I don’t do that. I’m here to make you stand out, not sink into the murky marketing depths of crappy copy. Still here, eh? Erm, well, I don’t have any awards or anything to reel off, but I was a finalist in The Majors 2019 Awards for Major Copywriter. Yup, Finalist. That’s almost a winner. So, there’s that.

What my clients say: "Alice worked with us on our website update project, ensuring our brand tone of voice was consistent throughout. She’s able to convert often complex briefing documents into something that resonates with our audience, and is confident finding the balance between flexing the tone to meet the requirements of our team, while also ensuring it sounds like WBD! We’ve been really happy with the work Alice has done for us, and her willingness to adapt to the changing needs of such a large project and the accuracy of her work has made a real impact." Kim Turner - Senior Brand & Communications Manager, Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP “I got in touch with Alice as we needed help with a recruitment project. Alice worked with us to develop landing page copy, an email and pdf flyer. As part of the brief, Alice interviewed one of our members and she quickly got up to speed with our tone of voice and understood what we needed. It was our first time working with Alice, so I was pleased that her work was high quality, she responded quickly to feedback and we were very happy with the outcome.” Ismah Dar, British Dental Association “Alice helped us with our website re-write. She understood the brief and quickly got up to speed with our new tone of voice – writing a large number of lawyer profiles and updating our sector and services pages.

It’s been a pleasure working with Alice and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.” Deborah Fleming – Marketing & Business Development Director, Walker Morris LLP “Alice is a pleasure to work with – she understood the brief and delivered compelling and engaging copy for my boutique accounting practice supporting female-owned businesses.

Her ability to grasp concept topics quickly and turn them into genuinely engaging and accessible copy is a rare skill – and one I value enormously. I also appreciate her creative input and her willingness to shape and push stories to become greater than the original brief. I cannot rate her highly enough.” Annie Scott – Head of Content and Communications, Schillings

    I'm a Senior Copywriter, specialising in crafting compelling creative copy for Travel, Tourism and Sports audiences in English and Spanish. My passion has always been words, language and communication, so getting to wrestle with them for a living is a pretty fitting gig. After studying International Business Management in Southampton and Avignon, France, I spent 4 years living & working in Valencia, Spain where I taught English full time and translated documents on an ad hoc basis. Having worked in Sales and Business Development on my return to England, I finally found my true calling in Marketing, more specifically creative copywriting. Nowadays, I’m well versed in writing for B2B, B2C and B2B2C audiences and my copy has featured in the national press, television and radio adverts and on billboards around the globe – from Australia to Puerto Rico. And as a SUPER passionate (dare I say slightly obsessed) American sports fan, I’ve even been lucky enough to write copy that NFL, MLB, NHL and NCAA audiences will have seen too! Day to day, I write brochures & flyers, advertorials, internal and external corporate comms, website copy (with SEO in mind), direct mail, conversion driving emails, organic & paid social copy, TV and radio scripts and DOOH. I have a particular love for creating witty headlines and slogans! As a result of my extensive writing experience and working for multinational companies, I’m able to work on multiple projects at once, maintain or alternate brand tone of voice, prioritise workloads effectively, meet tight deadlines, switch seamlessly between different regions/language needs and use time zones to my advantage. Credentials: - BA in International Business Management and Modern Languages - 6 years+ of experience in B2B, B2C and B2B2C copywriting in English and Spanish - Proven ability to write clear, concise and persuasive copy - Thorough understanding of copy nuances at the different stages of sales/marketing funnels - Well-versed in working with cross-functional teams based across the globe - Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills - Strong eye for detail - Ability to meet tight deadlines

    Looking back now, it’s obvious I was only ever going to be a freelance copywriter. You see, whether I was working in an office, a marketing department, or with the clients of the digital agency I co-founded, I was always the go-to-guy for words. As soon as I realised those words could prompt action, improve search rankings, and tempt people to click, share and buy, well, I was hooked. When I’m not writing, I’m reading about writing. About the psychology of persuasion and the science behind why we buy. I’m keeping tabs on new techniques and looking for every inch and opportunity to make sure it’s my client’s brand, product or service that wins the day. So, if your next marketing campaign, blog, website or brochure needs words, then I know a guy who’ll write them. Spoiler alert: It’s me.
