UK Copywriters Directory - Content strategy

  • PRO
    Copywriter, author, thought leadership writer, disruptive consultant, personal branding expert, ghost-writer and journalist with almost 39 years of experience as a professional writer. I believe I am among the very best copywriters working in the UK and globally. I work mostly remotely, for clients across the world. I have written for and consulted for clients across business, charity, quangos and politics. These include Channel 4, Transport for London, Amazon, Borkowski.do, Edenspiekermann, Airbnb, Red Bull, Open Data Institute, NESTA, RatedPeople, Natwest, Arts and Humanities Research Council, Debt Hacker, Child Poverty Action Group, Freuds, Hays, ThoughtLDR, Allegory, LastMinute.com, HaMuch.com, Founders Pledge, Humanade, Vivienne Westwood and HSBC. I write to a very high standard and my work on architecture, AI, LLMs, BCorps, technology, building, construction, youth subcultures, fashion, the arts, data, health, campaigning and artists can be found in the Guardian, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, FT and Dwell magazine. I also write about these topics for commercial clients, taking them into tier one media with thought leadership, personal branding, ghost-written op-eds and ideas for PR campaigns. I work both remotely and in-house, taking on contracts or working ad hoc, as needed. My copywriting and consultancy work has a dedicated website at thisidea.co.uk. I have written two books for major publishers and am comfortable writing for online or for print, producing short SEO-friendly copy that will keep people reading or blogging in your brand tone of voice. I am at home generating ideas, writing charity leaflets or penning 4,000 word essays for artists' catalogues. I have also been called in to deliver corporate emails, ghost writing for CEOs and founders, site architecture, strategy, charity campaigns, bids and major copy overhauls for websites and apps. I have written financial copy and terms and conditions for online and offline business. I am known as an innovator and am often ahead of the curve, which is why I have also been asked to carry out re-brands and re-thinks for major PR agencies. I can promote your organisation via thought leadership, ghost-write for your CEO, write staff profiles and blogs, or even teach staff how to write well for your business. My work is cited in several dictionaries, is part of the Open University English syllabus and has inspired several university research projects. I also work regularly with academics and universities. I am director of a company that deals in social history and the arts, which is one of my specialisms. You can see my journalism and books at iainaitch.com. Let's set up a meeting to discuss what I can do for you. "Iain is part of a community of collaborators I deploy when I am stuck for ideas or need inspirational copy. His propensity for and knowledge of left-field ideas is a thing of wonder." Mark Borkowski, founder Borkowski PR "Over the last two years, I have enjoyed working closely and collaboratively with Iain, who is highly-adept at picking up and running with the latest ideas in AI, data, and technology. He has a knack of making the new, and the complex both interesting and accessible for a wider audience. He does this without loss of rigour, he does not 'dumb down', and produces material that finds favour with existing experts. Moreover, he is able to come up with original takes on developments in AI, data, and technology that command the media’s attention. He always adds a distinct human touch to his work, whether that be thought leadership, speech-writing, or ideas for media content, making considered arguments during the creative process and in his finished work." Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Executive Chair of the Open Data Institute and Principal of Jesus College, Oxford. "It’s clean its lean and it does exactly what I want it to do. You’ve brought my idea to life, beautifully. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work." Michelle Grahame, Director, Virtually Working "Iain’s creative mind is the sort one wants to handle problems. He scurries away and quietly broils up a series of marketing and public relations ideas that lesser people would only conceive with breathtaking amounts of off-label medication. I endorse Iain’s abilities, and his good sense to put them in the service of legal commerce rather than villainy." Jason Martin, CEO, Iotum

    Hi - thanks for taking the time to look me up! Want to Sell More of Your Stuff to More People, More Often, for More Money? Contact Me Today... Here's the Good News: With my words on your website or in any of your marketing materials, you'll sell loads more of your stuff to more people, more often...and at better prices. So, if you: • own a small business that needs to improve marketing ROI, • are an internet marketer who wants to boost your online sales, or • run an established bricks and mortar company pushing to increase market share ... ...then I can certainly help you get your marketing messages 'out there' in front of the right eyeballs. Engagement can be difficult after a Pandemic... And it's no easier during a security crisis (Russia in Ukraine), an economic downturn, record inflation and national unrest! It's true to say today's socially distanced digital marketplace demands powerful direct response copy more than ever before. Why? Because it cuts through all the above. Removes extraneous clutter and ‘noise’. People still need jobs, health care, economic security, freedom of choice, and a degree of certainty and stability in their lives. None of these come from central government or the media. They come from successful businesses like yours, and the goods and employment you provide. Stimulating direct response copy drives engagement (clicks, conversions, leads), expands your customer base, encourages more of them to buy what you're selling or promoting, and it smashes sales 'out of the park.' If you agree, contact me today to arrange a brief discovery conversation and get the ball rolling. We can pick up over Zoom or Skype if you like, but do it now, while it's fresh in your mind. I’m in your corner… I love to work closely with clients to create and present their marketing information persuasively in their own 'voice'. Do you want to engage with and inform potential customers about your company, your products, and the services you provide? Let me know what I can help you with, and I'd be delighted to share some input, advice, or feedback with you in strict confidence. Copywriting isn't a 'black art'... However, it needs expertise, training, and experience to make it effective. Don’t worry; I'll provide all of that for you. I can deliver copy and content in many forms and formats. Here are a few examples to explore or consider: • white papers • case studies • blog and social media posts • advertisements and promotions • product descriptions • sales brochures • sales letters • articles • web copy, pages, or other information for your website. I can also write and present the content of a proposal, agenda, or ‘argument’ for you. For example, if you need to: • persuade funders to provide you with a grant or finance facilities, • promote a political, charitable, or environmental agenda, or • 'sell' a unique or insightful point of view, I can help. Powerful, persuasive, profitable copy creates sales and other commercial opportunities. It’s often described as ‘Salesmanship in Print’, and generates positive engagement with potential customers, clients, stakeholders, or employees. It compels people to take an action or make a decision - to buy, to find out more about you and your products, or to support your cause. "Simples!" as Aleksandr the Meerkat would say. Actually, it's never been any other way... Whether you sell personal or professional services, diamonds, jet aircraft, or handmade shoes, you need copy and content that promotes them to potential customers. I'm the copywriter to create that for you. I produce compelling copy that quietly works 'hands-off' (on autopilot) even while you sleep, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (including holidays and weekends). It's the type of stimulating copy and content that relentlessly drives your buyers, clients, or members, to make a purchasing or engagement decision. Get it right and it's an investment. Get it wrong and it can be a massive cost. You might have the best product or service in the world, at the best possible price. But if people: • don't know about it, • can't understand the benefits of using or owning it, or • haven't a clue how to get their hands on it, ...then you just won't sell it! Perhaps that's where you are now? If so, then... • Talk to me about your current challenge. • Sound me out on an idea. How would it feel to be able to take your business or venture to the next level? To get a no-obligation quote from someone who's working tirelessly to become the Top Copywriter in UK (or at least Yorkshire, Lancashire, and the North), • ping me an email, • connect with me on LinkedIn, or • speak to me now - call me on 07971 926680. Alternatively, if you already know what you need, click here to give me a more detailed brief. Why not contact me now, while the ideas are fresh in your mind? It would be great to hear from you. Let's see if we have any common ground or ideas on which we could collaborate. Call or email me today.

    Are you a B2B, legal, financial or professional services company, or a startup or scaleup, who is finding it hard to differentiate your products and services in an overcrowded market? Do your experts understand what you do, but customers don't? You need a freelance B2B copywriter who understands the language unique to your business. Not just any writer, but one who can translate complex ideas into simple yet engaging copy and help your customers understand, “what’s in it for me?” Here’s why I’m that writer: • As a former corporate lawyer, the language of business is my second language. I help you ditch the blah and deliver your message with words that will inform, persuade and engage your audience – turning sceptical B2B buyers into your best customers. • As an experienced copywriter (but not past it just yet!), I tell stories that build a brand, nurture leads and position your business as a trusted advisor – moving customers from “I’m not sure” to “YES!” and ultimately driving revenue. • I've worked with over 100 B2B businesses just like you, to simplify your message for your customers and help them see the value you bring – WITHOUT being sleazy, salesy or spammy. I research, write and create web copy, white papers, case studies, emails, landing pages, reports, video scripts, blogs, brochures, pitch decks, bid packages ... pretty much anything that gets your business where it needs to be. Here are a few examples of what I have done for past clients: • The SEO revamp I did of one client’s website resulted in a 146% increase in traffic • Articles I wrote for a legal client resulted in a 64% increase in traffic to their blog • An email sequence I wrote increased webinar sign ups by 200% But enough about me. Want to talk about what I can do for you? Shoot me an email and let's get started. jayne@whiterosecopywriting.com
