    Copywriter. Storyteller. Bookworm. Owned by a dog that looks like a sausage. Hello there, I’m Leesa. I see you and I see your problem. Your hard work is paying off. You’re so damn good at what you do that you’re expanding, hiring new staff, and going after a wider customer base. That’s bloody brilliant. Only thing is, that old generic messaging just won’t do anymore. You’ve got some decent copy out there, but you’ve also got this sneaking suspicion that it’s all a bit…patchy. I get it. When you started out, you were juggling more balls than my sister at that hen do. You just needed to chuck some words up. But now you’re playing in the big leagues, you can’t get away with saying you unlock and elevate stuff anymore. You could hire a copywriter to write one thing, for one moment, in one format. Or you can build a solid brand story that will inform every marketing asset you create from here on in. Hello, I'm Leesa. I'm a copywriter with a background in social sciences, comms, and leading large teams. I know words, I know people, and I've been studying storytelling for over two decades. 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳, 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻: Your customer - the thing they want, the thing that’s getting in their way, and why it matters. Then you make your entrance, and you help them win the day, with feeling.

Kevin Hayler, Sales Made Easy "Leesa has been a fantastic addition to our marketing efforts as our go-to copywriter for the UK market."

    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

    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?
