    I’ve always loved words and wrote pieces for the student newspaper at university. My first job was as a copy editor with Penguin Books which gave me fantastic training, that has served me well ever since. I have spent much of my 40-years-plus career in sales, marketing and business development roles. I worked for several of the top book publishers for twenty years, mainly in sales and marketing roles, and subsequently started my own business selling books to big brands for promotional use. My next role was working for a sales promotion agency, before spending ten years as marketing and business development manager with a top twenty accountancy firm. Since 2009 I’ve been running my own copywriting business, Results Department, providing copywriting, editing and proofreading services to businesses and individuals. I can work with clients anywhere but they tend to be mainly in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Recent projects have included editing the memoirs of an eminent neurosurgeon, drafting newsletters and press releases for the International Stress Management Association, and editing a book on infrastructure development in Africa. I have just had a new website created which focusses on my skills in copywriting, copy editing and proofreading, especially for book authors. I’m also involved in voluntary work in my town of Thame: I write press releases for Thame Players Theatre Company (who own the popular Players Theatre, run entirely by volunteers), and help to promote our guided Midsomer Walking Tours of Thame (a major destination for Midsomer Murders filming locations). When I’m not working, I love listening to classical music and reading, and I’m also a foodie who loves cooking. An important member of the household is our enthusiastic and very handsome golden retriever-poodle cross (groodle) who loves to be taken for walks twice a day.

    Hi, I'm Lucy 👋 Having walked in your shoes as a senior in-house B2B marketer for over 18 years, I understand the challenges you're likely to be facing with your content marketing. - Perhaps your current marketing messaging isn’t landing with your target audience? - Your lead quality is poor or you're struggling to hit revenue targets because you’re unable to simplify your customers’ buying journey and shorten painfully long sales cycles? - Or is it simply the case that your content has got left behind, managed down amongst the myriad of other priorities you have? - And maybe you just lack the internal resources to deliver your content marketing effectively? That's where I come in. I offer my many years of strategic content marketing experience to help busy B2B Service and SaaS marketers and business owners, who lack the time or in-house team to deliver purposeful content marketing themselves. When as much as 95% of your market isn't ready to buy, and you've got no choice but to play the long game, the power of purposeful content marketing comes into its own. I'm here to help your brand become your audience's favourite and be seen as a trusted authority in your industry. By delivering strategic content that adds consistent value, I will keep your target buyers coming back again and again, until the time is right, and they are ready to raise their hand as a high intent lead.

    Many years ago… I left university with a science degree and a desire never to have to drip things into test tubes again! I entered the world of communications agencies, developed my creativity and learned to use words to tell stories and promote my clients' products. I really loved the writing and a desire to use this skill to explore new topics and concepts prompted my move to freelance copywriting. Working mainly in healthcare, science and technology, I have developed a knack for taking complex information and making it relatable to the person on the street, the research professor and everyone in between. There’s not much I won’t tackle and I have written and edited sales materials, case studies, patient information, web pages, social media posts, newsletters, magazines, white papers, meeting reports, award entries and media materials. I have even dabbled in poetry but I am not sure that was as successful! I have a natural curiosity, grasp concepts quickly and find it easy to get to grips with new subject matter both inside and outside my usual field. Being from a comms background I also have a good grounding in message development, a skill I find invaluable in helping clients who have something to say but aren’t sure how to say it.

    Writing is a people thing. It's about understanding who you're talking to, why they should care and what they want from you at the time they're reading. I like to think I'm a people person. I definitely like listening, learning people's stories or about new businesses, and getting to the heart of things pretty quickly. That's my general approach to every new brief. I listen to your business challenge, try to understand your audience and then write compelling copy to help you connect with the people who matter and get the impact your business is looking for. I have over 10 years' experience writing for and defining the voice of global brands, ground-breaking start-ups and everything in between. My highlights so far have been defining the voices of Wimbledon, Lidl, Dogs Trust and Barnardo's, running creative careers sessions in schools and colleges across London and being a mentor on the D&AD Shift programme for creatives who are just starting out. Full disclosure, I've got a soft-spot for purpose-driven organisations. And as I've started the name-dropping, here are a few extras in that realm: Comic Relief, Breast Cancer Now, Leukaemia UK, Leonard Cheshire, The Haemophilia Society and UNHCR. I love helping charities, NGOs and non-profits to reach the people who need them, and connect with the people who can support them. In general, I'm a collaborative, creative person and I live for a challenge. And as I said, I love getting to know new people so I'm always up for joining the team in the office, studio or co-working space. Copywriting: Naming, taglines, narratives, manifestos, websites, ads, brochures, posters, employee handbooks, patient leaflets, annual reports... the list is endless and variety is the spice of life. Tone of voice and verbal identity: I worked as Brand Language Director at a brand consultancy before going freelance. This meant running brand voice projects for large-scale organisations like FTSE250 global recruitment company FDM. I can run a brand voice project from start to finish; understanding what's working and what's not, defining a new voice, creating guidelines (that people might actually want to read), and running writing workshops to train people in the voice. Campaigns: I create concepts for social, ATL and OOH ads. Coming up with the hook is my speciality. Things I've done that you might have seen in the wild are Wimbledon's annual ticket concepts and poster campaigns (2017, 2018, 2019), and a national brand campaign and 2x retail campaigns for Barnardo's in 2024. Messaging frameworks: I develop strategic messaging frameworks so that you have a bank of tailored messages ready to copy-and-paste into comms as and when you need them. They're pretty varied but here's a few different kinds to give you an idea: • Core message frameworks. This includes things like a strapline, meta info, google search page bio, headline messaging and an 'about us' story. • Audience-specific headline frameworks include key messages tailored to specific audience groups and aims (e.g. the general public, loyal customers, employees, investors, donors etc). • Some are best when they’re highly specific. For example, a public health messaging framework for Breast Cancer Now (focused on breast checking). What I've been working on recently (in the last year): • Packaging copywriting for Beefeater Gin • Copywriting for Virgin Media 02 • Brand voice principles for F1 • Verbal identity and writing workshops for Barnardo's • Verbal identity and writing workshops for FDM (FTSE250 recruitment firm) • Brand naming and verbal identity for Pivotal (sustainability start-up who've since secured Series B funding) • Packaging copywriting for Ueshima Coffee Company (now the UK's fastest growing coffee brand) What people who've hired me think: "Since Hope walked through our doors seven years ago she's been a ray of sunshine and a delight to work with. She's truly been one of the finest writers we've ever had working for us." - Pete Dewar, Founder of The Clearing (Branding Agency), 2023 "That headline is f*cking brilliant" - Tom Kerridge, Celebrity Chef (Client for Full Time Meals with Marcus Rashford and Tom Kerridge) 2021 "What a gem to find a clear-headed and strategic writer who’s not afraid to have fun with their copy. From the very first moment, Hope dived straight into a very complex project with ease and calm, and lifted a lot of weight off my team. She’s been an especially great help with the naming and strategy side. I can just leave her with a challenge and she’ll come back prepared with not only multiple solutions to choose from but also thorough rationales of her thinking. Hope always goes above and beyond to make sure all avenues are explored and investigated, and you’re never short of options. She’s slotted into our copy team so quickly and naturally, it almost feels like she’s been with us forever and we’ve all really enjoyed working with her." - Oeil Jumratsilpa, Head of Copy, Virgin Media 02, 2024 "In all the years I've been working, Hope is at the top of the list of people I've enjoyed working with the most. Positivity, creativity, energy. She's a joy to work with every day." - Jonathan Hubbard, Founder of The Clearing (Branding Agency), 2023
