    In sectors moving as fast as energy and B2B tech, it’s hard to stand out. After 7 years specialising in these areas, I help growing companies get the visibility they deserve, build authority, and generate more leads. I do this through: ✅ Thought Leadership Content that positions you as a trusted industry voice with blogs, articles, case studies, and whitepapers. ✅ Strategic Copywriting, creating web pages and promotional content that’s consistent with your organisation's goals and focuses on what matters to your prospects. I specialise in: ✅ B2B tech & SaaS brands: Writing on topics that include IT consultancy, cybersecurity, and IT architecture. ✅ Energy sector and renewables: Writing on topics that include retail energy pricing, energy capacity markets, demand flexibility, integration (iPaaS), and grid connection backlogs. Scroll down to my portfolio and get in touch at info@sarahmackinlayconsulting.com Here’s what my clients say about me: I worked with energy-specific iPaaS provider, Greenbird IT, for six years until it was bought by GE Vernova. Here’s what they said, “Sarah is a detail-oriented writer whose creativity and writing style boost our ability to transform our technical solution content and expertise working with utilities worldwide into meaningful thought leadership stories and technical blog posts." Frederik ten Sythoff, VP Market Engagement, Greenbird IT (Now Part of GE Vernova) Gorilla supplies energy retailers with data applications for pricing, forecasting, and portfolio analysis. Here's what they said, "It’s been a pleasure working with Sarah during her time with us as paternity leave cover. Sarah consistently delivered high-quality written work, often with only minimal briefing. She adapted to our tone and style with impressive speed and was always receptive to feedback, turning around amends promptly. On top of that, she’s punctual, communicative, and genuinely easy to work with — a great asset to any content team!" Guste Stephens, Head of Marketing, Gorilla Energy Data Applications About me My strategic approach was shaped during seven years at a London ad agency, running in-person brand strategy and idea-generation workshops for clients such as Interbrew, Kellogg’s, and Heinz. Today, I bring those same principles to content and copywriting, helping innovative solutions get the visibility they deserve. Next Steps Let’s set up a time to chat.

    You're busy, so let's keep this quick. Here are 4 questions my clients ask: ONE: How much do you charge for copywriting and content writing? Around £400 per day, depending on your business, the writing which is needed, and the deadline. Small businesses and charities generally pay less than agencies and larger businesses. Once we have a discovery call and I learn all about your business, I'll create a bespoke proposal outlining your whole project and the exact costs. You'll know the full costs of the project before you sign the contract. The only reason the price will change is if the scope changes, but we'll discuss this if it arises. TWO: Are you available now? Sort of. Very likely, yes. I intentionally leave lots of space in my diary for quick projects, such as a page of website copy, or a couple of blogs. So, if I can squeeze in some work I will. I really get a kick out of helping people, and I get that you might need some copy fast. Depending on the exact deadline you need (AKA: how late I'll have to work in the evening or if I'm working over a weekend) I might need to include a 25% rush fee. Generally, it takes around 6- 8 weeks to complete a copywriting project like a white paper or a full website. I can be booked for these projects 2- 3 months in advance. We can discuss exact deadlines in your discovery call. THREE: Are you an experienced copywriter? Yes. I've written everything from SEO blogs to Instagram captions to Deliveroo listings. I've written white papers and website copy. I've written newsletters and emails and product descriptions. I'm pretty gosh darn confident I could write anything you wanted. I mostly write for fabulous small UK business owners, but I've also worked with digital agencies, national brands, and international businesses. My writing has even appeared in the press, and I've got a burgeoning Substack newsletter. Head to my website for examples of my writing. FOUR: What happens when a client works with a copywriter?Everyone's got their own processes, but this is how I work best. 1. We start with a discovery call, which lasts up to 30 minutes. This is where I learn exactly what you’re looking for, the deadline, and your budget. 2. I’ll write you a proposal. If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll send you a contract and an invoice for 50% of the fee. 3. It's time for you to create a super detailed brief. I can help you with this. 4. I write your first draft and send it to you. You tell me about anything which needs to be edited. 5. I edit the first draft and send draft two back to you, with the final invoice. 6. You upload the copy to your website, or send it to your email list, or post on social media, and start engaging with your customers. 7. (And, perhaps you write me a lovely testimonial too? Hey, a girl can dream!) That's it! Easy, huh? "Bonnie refined my brand voice and optimised what I wanted to say into a condensed and easy- to- read format. All my conversations with Bonnie were natural and productive. She delivered all that she promised in a timely and professional manner." I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your business.

    Hey, I'm Joe 👋 co-founder of Do Words Good, a copywriting studio for ambitious ecomm and FMCG brands. How we help ambitious brands We help scaling brands with messaging strategy, positioning, brand voice and story plus putting it all together across every touchpoint (PDPs, landing pages, email flows, retail decks). With 25+ years combined experience, everything we do is backed by research and consumer psychology, so your copy doesn't just sound nice, it helps the right people understand your product's unique awesomeness (and then hit buy). Who we've helped: Discord, Vodafone, Disney, Nursem, Toast Brewing, Animal, Beachbum, OVO Energy, Merck, Drinkwell plus almost 300 other brands across retail, ecommerce and tech. A few wins: 👉 Helped grow an ecommerce brand from ~£6M to almost £20M by repositioning + rewriting their site copy 👉 Helped a brand grow sales by 78% after a 4-week copy & messaging sprint 👉 Helped a US brand go from $7M to $38M over a year with fractional copy support "Jack and Joe were mind readers." "We're about to kick off a DTC glow-up. The copy on our site was inconsistent and our PDPs were a bit all over the place. We knew we could do more to clearly communicate our USPs. As a small team, we wanted some external support to kick-start a redesign of our hero product PDP. 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. It's given us everything we need to brief our developer and designer. I'm very keen to work with Do Words Good again on future projects." Lindsay Newell, Marketing Manager, Nursem We're probably a good fit if: ✅ Your brand's levelling up, but your messaging is starting to feel a bit "held together with tape" ✅ You want copy that converts and sounds like you, no gimmicks, no "CRO bro" stuff ✅ You're building a brand for the long run and care about trust, reputation & repeat customers How we work: We run most projects as 1, 2 or 4-week sprints. That's because we've been doing this for over a decade and know that once a project goes on too long, it gets sanded down and signed off so that it's fine but nobody really loves it. Instead, we get aligned early, make sure we maintain momentum with a few clear review points, and get our heads down in full focus mode so you end the sprint with copy that is signed off and exactly how you want your brand to sound. Plus, everything lives in our client portal, and we work in Figma / Klaviyo wherever we can so things are transparent and ready to hand over to design/dev to polish and publish. Want to chat about your project? Let's chat → Book a 30-min intro call (or email: hello@dowordsgood.com) 📬 PS. We also send weekly copy tips (every Tuesday): Join the DWG newsletter for brand breakdowns, consumer psych, and frameworks you can pinch. Read every week by legends at brands like Gousto, Bloom&Wild, LEGO and Toast Brewing. "Flippin' love these joy-filled insights. Thank you for so generously opening up your brains." — Louisa Ziane, COO @ Toast Brewing

    Freelance SEO copywriter and content writer — available for projects and retainers. I've been doing this for fifteen years, which means I've seen a few algorithm updates come and go. What hasn't changed? The need for copy that actually sounds like it was written by a person. I bring together copper-bottomed writing and search visibility: articles, patient guides, service pages, email. I write them, and I handle the SEO so they actually get found by the people who need them. Most of my work sits in healthcare, legal and financial services, where accuracy isn't optional and trust is everything. I also offer native German-to-English translation, which means I think about language switching more than most. Here's the thing, though: what influences my writing most isn't the fifteen years in digital. It's the two years I spent as a paediatric sleep consultant, working one-to-one with over a hundred families. That taught me how people actually read when they're worried, tired or overwhelmed. It's made me a better writer across the board; I know how to hold a reader's hand without slowing them down. These days, I spend time in Search Console, Ahrefs and Ubersuggest. Not because I love dashboards; I don't. But the data tells me what people are searching for before they ever pick up the phone. Trained in AI ethics and holding an Ahrefs certification, I'm genuinely interested in how AI is changing search, and how we keep the human layer intact. Services I offer: • Service pages / Landing pages / Blog content / Patient guides • Email copy / Content strategy / Keyword research / SEO audits • AI SEO services / On-page optimisation / Technical SEO • Google Business / German–English translation You can read my published work at copperwords.com. I'm always open to new projects; please get in touch. Client reviews: 💬 ​"An exceptional understanding of healthcare communication and SEO. We saw a noticeable increase in qualified traffic and patient engagement." Dr Natalie Summerhill, Summerhill Health 💬 ​"Ahead of the curve in using and understanding AI to boost results. A game-changer for our visibility and growth." Anthony Kiantos, Summerhill Health 💬 ​"Miriam's focused approach and genuine interest in our objectives led to significant improvements in a short timeframe." Emma Hatfield, Brook Financial

    'Refreshingly different from the usual twaddle.' Or so one of my agency clients tells me. Hey, I’m Laura. I’ve been writing copy and content for well over a decade, parenting a wild child for eight years, and failing to tame a crazy hairstyle for a lifetime. I’m a Leeds-based freelance copywriter. Business owners, like you, hire me to write and edit words that give your business personality and make you more money. They also hire me to run workshops and train their teams to improve their writing and feel confident creating content. My clients are great at what they do. But they need to show that with jargon-free, personality-packed copy, free from AI waffle and full of orginal ideas that sell their stuff to the right people. That’s where I come in. I’ve worked with some big bods, like Marriott Hotels, Netflix, Department of Health NI, and The University of Leeds, and supported SMEs, such as accountancy practices, non-profits and marketing agencies. Nosy at my website and my LinkedIn profile to find out what other people think about me and how much I charge (let's be honest, that's what you want to know, right?).
