You’ve really nailed the evocative copy we're after. And with so many options for taglines, we definitely have that part of the project covered too." Emma Mathias, Bradshaw Taylor - the home of luxury outdoor clothing and country lifestyle brands. Why do I write for such a mix of sectors? It's not quite such a random choice as you might think. Instead, it's all about photography. Before venturing into the world of copywriting almost a decade ago, I was a freelance landscape and location photographer. Clients included the National Trust, and I specialised in photographing Britain's architecture, landscapes, gardens, and heritage locations. All things that genuinely interested me. And still do. So I decided to carry on working in these same fields - albeit very differently. In a way, I'm still creating pictures, only now I'm using words rather than a camera. With just the right words, I paint persuasive pictures to bring places, spaces, projects, and services to life. ⭐"You have a wonderful natural style ... this is excellent - thank you. Just what we were hoping for!" Jo Shaer, Lollipop - content marketing specialists for the Fire and Security sectors.

    Hey, I'm Joe 👋 co-founder of Do Words Good — a verbal identity & brand language studio for challenger brands. We help you figure out what to say, how to say it, and how to make sure everyone (AI included) can write for your brand. Free 90-second brand voice AI audit → Before anything else — we built a free tool that scores how well AI can write in your brand voice. Upload your guidelines or paste a prompt, and it'll show you where the gaps are and how to fix them. Scores out of 45. No email, no strings, no catch. 👉 Check your AI voice readiness → We've been working on brand language for challenger brands for over a decade — voice, messaging, the words that make you sound like you. And while we still get our hands dirty with copy, AI has changed the game. The question isn't "who can write this for us?" anymore, it's "why does AI make our copy suck?!". That's why most of our time goes into verbal identity work. What your brand sounds like, why it keeps drifting, and how to fix it so your whole team and your AI tools can write on-brand every single time. That usually looks like one of three things: ✅ The Whole Shebang — messaging strategy, full verbal identity, brand voice & AI copybot. For brands that need a hand figuring out what to say, how to say it, and how to make it stick. ✅ Voice Upgrade — messaging strategy, verbal identity update, brand voice & AI copybot. For brands adapting or rebranding. ✅ Make it Stick — verbal identity documentation & AI copybot. For brands who know what they want to say but can't get everyone (people and robots) to stay on-voice. (Which one fits depends on where you're starting from) Who we've worked with Discord, Vodafone, OVO Energy, Nursem, Toast Brewing, Animal, Beachbum, Drinkwell, Dr Dent, RNLI — plus almost 300 other brands across DTC, ecommerce, SaaS, hospitality, and B2B. A few wins 👉 Helped grow an ecommerce brand from £5.6M to £25.2M by repositioning and rewriting their copy and brand voice 👉 Helped a brand grow revenue by 78% the quarter after a 4-week copy and messaging sprint 👉 Helped a US brand go from $7M to $38M over a year with fractional copy support What a client said "Jack and Joe were mind readers. They quickly spotted the real customer pain points and reshaped the page in a way that was clear, focused and exactly what we'd hoped for." — Lindsay Newell, Marketing Manager, Nursem We're probably a good fit if: ✅ Your brand has something genuinely brilliant to say, but your voice isn't saying it yet ✅ You want words that sound like you — not like a brief got fed into a template ✅ You're using AI tools but your voice keeps drifting off-brand ✅ You're building for the long run and want a verbal identity that grows with you Want to chat? Book a 30-min intro call → or email hello@dowordsgood.com Not ready for a chat? Run the audit first → and see where you stand. 📬 We also send a weekly newsletter — brand breakdowns, copy frameworks and consumer psychology you can actually use.

    A stranger on Gumtree gave me the secret to selling anything. Sounds wild, I know. But it happened. Let me tell you the story... I've written funnels overlooking the Indian Ocean. Taken sales calls at sunrise in the Atacama Desert. And I’m fairly sure I had the idea for a sales page in the back of a pickup truck in Laos… ​Copywriting has taken me all over the world. But it was a conversation in an empty North London cafe that changed my career forever. ​…a conversation that’s since helped generate millions in additional revenue for businesses across Europe. ​Businesses, possibly, just like yours. Now, you might be wondering how one conversation can have such an impact. Well… ​Sat opposite me was a man I’d just met. He’d listed 39 advertising annuals on Gumtree that I was interested in. And to save on delivery, I decided to drive across the country and pick them up. He handed them over. And we got chatting. I told him I’d studied materials engineering, quit my job, and was now a few years into copywriting, struggling to make a name for myself. It turns out he was a copywriter too. One who’d helped build some of today’s biggest brands. And the annuals I’d just collected spanned his entire career. His work, which I’d later discover, was inside them. He invited me for lunch to look over the ads, and ended up giving me a piece of advice that changed everything… "It’s your engineering background," he said. He continued. “I mean, look at the ads in these annuals… I see one thing… the design, the colour, the use of language. But with your background, you see them in a completely different way… you’re talking about microstructures and behaviour patterns. I would have never thought of that.” "That's your edge.” He was right — I realised I see ads differently to other writers. I find underlying principles, psychological patterns and persuasion mechanics that only few spot. That’s why I’ve since helped generate millions for my clients across Europe — tech companies in Estonia, marketing agencies in Ireland, cinemas, growth consultants, health supplements, even fidget toy designers. And I’m confident that whatever your business sells, I can help you too. “Lewis is a great copywriter. He has worked on ads and landing pages for us, both delivering fantastic results. Highly recommended.” -- Stephen Bavister, Director/Founder of LexisClick Growth Consultancy “The response has been absolutely fantastic (one lead even phoned me!). It was a real pleasure to work with such a pro.” – Stephen Kilcoyne, Founder of Woosh Marketing “Nobody understood our brand and our audience the way Lewis did. We’re getting exactly the results we hoped for.” –Aliss Oxley, General Manager of Five Create (MetMo)

    Hello. I'm Ben Locker. Since 2006, I've helped over 300 businesses – not to mention a cluster of top agencies – with copywriting that gets results. Over the years, I've come to specialise in B2B and professional services work. When accountants, insurers, brokers and lawyers get fed up with dull copy that tries to bore prospective clients into buying, they come to me to sort things out. In recent years, I've also branched out into content auditing. This is crucial for professional services firms: it helps rid their websites of outdated advice, stops them paying for new websites full of useless content, and spots pages that are – against all the odds – bringing in work. To do content auditing properly, you need evidence. That's why I've built my own, proprietary software, Manticore. It crawls your site and brings together evidence from Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Semrush and other sources to give me a detailed insight into every page. With that intelligence, I can work with clients to decide what content to keep, improve, merge, remove or create. The result is a cleaner, more focused website that performs better in search and AI. If you'd like to learn more about what I do, who I do it for and what I've achieved, take a look at my website. If you think I can help you, get in touch today to discuss your project.

    I work with small business owners and marketing managers of medium-sized businesses who have one or more of these challenges: 💡 You know what you need to say, but you haven’t got the time or the in-house talent to say it in the right way. Deadlines are stacking and you need someone to get it done. 💡 You have to deliver more with less budget…and you need a seasoned expert who can quickly get to speed with your business, strategic goals and voice without hand holding. 💡 You need a strong all-rounder, who feels like part of the team, and can get stuck in with ideation, strategic thinking and adding value across the business. From creative campaigns to in-depth reports, from punchy storytelling to high-conversion landing pages – I’ve got the range and the experience to handle it all. What clients say: “He doesn’t think in just copy, but brings a strategic mindset that spans business impact, art direction and technology.” “He’s a pleasure to work with, bringing a calm and positive presence even in high-pressure situations.” “Thanks for your brilliant thinking, Julian.” ---------------------- 🖥 www.abelwords.com ✉️ hello@abelwords.com

    Hi there! Thanks for stopping by - my name is Emily Haddington and I'm a senior copywriter and UX writer with more than a decade of experience writing for small to medium companies, start-ups and household names. I'm also the co-founder of pro-human creative agency, Haddington & Haddington. Some of my clients have included HSBC, JP Morgan, Vodafone, P&G, TUI, Aquafresh, Taylor Wimpey, Microsoft, Google and Expedia. Sure, I'm a generalist - but to my mind, a good copywriter should be able to write about literally anything. I'm the co-founder of Haddington & Haddington, a Suffolk-based agency offering copywriting, design and UX writing services. I run the agency with my husband, David Haddington - an extremely talented web, digital, print and UX/UI designer. (He does a bloomin' good illustration, too). Copywriting I have a wealth of writing experience across a huge variety of sectors. Whether it's creating product descriptions for a small online start-up selling caravan upholstery, or UX copy for mortgage products for household names like HSBC, I can help with any project. Big or small, B2B or B2C. I've helped small local companies in Suffolk to sell more honey by improving their landing page copy, and I've given Marriott Hotels its key tagline for the naming of a luxury new hotel in Budapest. Whatever the copywriting challenge, I'm here to take it on! UX Writing Many copywriters say they're UX writers, but they don't have any UX background or design reputation to back it up. UX writing involves more than being able to write micro-copy for a button, or knowing your way around a wireframe. My agency is fully accredited by qualifications from the UX Design Institute, and we perform user testing and UX research alongside content design. I know the UX design process inside out - from user surveys and competitive benchmarking at the start, through to user flow analysis, affinity diagrams and customer journey mapping, and then user flows, wireframing and prototyping. I've been involved in UX writing projects for large brands such as JP Morgan/Chase, Vodafone and HSBC. AI-to-human copywriting services I’ll take your copy and strip out all the filler, AI buzzwords and jargon. What you’ll get is writing with a warmer tone, clear purpose, and a voice that truly reflects your company's message. Get in touch with me today at emily@haddingtoncreative.com
