Focus Awards is an innovative Awarding Organisation, whose CEO always tries to 'push the envelope' within the sector.
He came up with the idea of a Price Plan for training providers and centres that would 'smooth out' their cashflow by creating monthly payment plans. My task was to make the plans attractive to clients and get across the advantages of budgeting.
I've shown the original first draft text. Several changes were accommodated through the development cycle, the most significant of which was to remove the fear of competitor fallout and a potential resultant 'feud'. While it substantially weakened the purpose of the document, the Client was insistent and accepted the explained reduced impact of the copy as a palatable trade-off.

Design agency Pad Creative introduced me to Meridian RSL in January 2019. Meridian is a genuinely independent, specialist insurance broker. They wanted a new website that would stand out – in design and editorial – by showing that the client was at the heart of their business. With plenty of conversation that nailed down the client's uniqueness, all three partners in the project - the copywriter, designer and client – were in sync over working ethos, values and the drive for perfection. It resulted in a website with a tone of voice that suited and engaged their audience and stood out for its creativity.
I launched ByBits - a usage-based insurance engine - in the UK, in Q1 2020. Key to this was developing a whitepaper which was used to drive news and views as a location to point media and prospects to.
The report is attached but, you can see all the UK coverage this (and other) reports have generated through my PR work here - https://www.bybits.co.uk/press/
Our focus is you
As Northamptonshire accountants, our clients cherish our relationship, not just because of our range of services. They also appreciate the way we work. They see us, not so much as accountants to meet with once a year to ‘go over’ the accounts. For our clients, they value the feeling of friendship.
Like any good friends, of course, we won’t just say ‘well done’ when everything is rosy. We’ll also be at your side with friendly, knowledgeable advice when things are not going so well.

I was asked to write the copy for a launch prospectus for The Manual - a new Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) investment opportunity in the entertainment sector. The copy came out of a number of meetings with the directors and business consultant. The aim of the prospectus was to both interest and excite potential investors with the concept while assuring them of a sound financial investment.
Rosling King is a leading firm of lawyers in the City of London. Their advice is high-level, for major clients in finance, real estate and construction, but their approach is refreshingly down-to-earth. My job in Browns’ rebranding of the practice was to express this unusually warm, easygoing nature and its part in the development of uncommonly effective solutions.

Nordic countries - and their neighbours in the Baltics - have become a powerhouse of innovation in financial technology. A partnership between Fintech Mundi, a global fintech accelerator based in Norway, and Magna Carta, a UK-based fintech communications specialist, set out to discover what made the Nordics so dynamic, what could be learned from the region and what could be done to tap into the still unrealised potential of the region. The result was this report: based on desk research, extensive interviews with spokespeople across the region, we built up a cohesive story packed with information that Fintech Mundi could use to create a splash at its forthcoming industry conference.
My accountant, Gill, is the best accountant ever. And she and her business partner (and husband) Nick needed a site that shows off just how good they are at supporting people who are in business – but for whom numbers hold a wealth of terror.
Creating a tone-of-voice and all written content, including case studies and video interviews, for a campaign website. Also wrote FAQs, financial and technical text for app/tool.
Prudential plc is one of the UK’s leading providers of pensions, annuities, investments and insurance.
They asked to help develop a series of follow-up emails to be sent to people considering buying an annuity from Prudential. The content would reinforce the points explained by Prudential’s staff over the phone, giving customers content they could read at their leisure and keep for later reference.
Annuities can be hard to understand, particularly when people are new to them. We used an informal tone and everyday language to explain the concepts as clearly as possible while also communicating honesty and transparency.

Stream is an IT recruitment consultancy which recruits staff for businesses across the UK and Europe.
I was asked to develop a structure and write copy for Stream's new website. I worked with senior directors to understand the business, establish a tone of voice and draft accessible content to appeal to Stream's key audiences - employers and job seekers.
An example of an effective and well put together franchise recruitment website which acts as both lead-gen and franchise prospectus, in this case for a colourful and fun brand, Udderlicious.
I provide regular support regarding content. This includes finding content collaboration opportunities and gathering input from subjects in the industry for particular blogs.

Working with an award-winning independent UK care company I am responsible for all on and offline copy, social media and marketing campaigns.
Consistently ranked on page 1 of Google for their key words, with a healthy regional awareness and connections. Highly successful Facebook recruitment campaigns.
A production company has a legal and moral duty to protect its crew, actors, and stunt performers—but everyone on set shares that responsibility.
Having spent 22 years in the film industry alongside a background as an ex-firefighter, I’ve learned that common sense alone isn't enough in high-risk environments. Every scene brings unique hazards, from performer fatigue and stunt harness setups to pyrotechnics and unpredictable weather.
Thorough script breakdowns and early risk profiling don't just prevent serious injury; they protect your budget and reputation. When production companies plan intelligently, safety doesn't slow down the creative process; it keeps the show moving forward.
Full website copywriting for an established, Plymouth-based accountant. Creating a less formal set of copy that was loose, conversational, and easy to read.

We use Insight Discovery™ as a key ingredient to individual and/or team coaching, in relation to internal and external situations.

Editorial PR article for a specialist insurance company. Featured (with by-line) in leading UK tattoo magazine 'Tattoo Master' highlighting the importance of specialist cover for tattooists.
Ageas is one of the UK's largest car insurers. I've worked for the internal communications and broker teams since 2016, so when they asked me to write this news piece for online magazine Solved, they received it the same day. Knowing your client often makes a job go faster, because you know their style and tone of voice before you start.
In 2018, the management team at Shepherd Offshore on the north banks on the River Tyne needed help to redevelop the company's website. With an ever-increasing demand for their services, the company's existing website was outdated and didn't cover the extensive range of essential support on offer to their multinational clients in the offshore, oil & gas, energy, marine, power and renewable energy industries. A family-owned and run business, I worked closely with the team to explore the business offering in full, develop a tone of voice to describe the services on offer and map each page to detail the available support.
