BrochureFocus 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.

EmailPrudential 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.

PCR Digital | Recruitment is broken. We’re fixing itThe team at PCR Digital wanted to update their website and were ready to stand out above the noise of recruitment in London. They commissioned the development of their brand tone of voice and new copy for their website, with case studies, in 2018. The PCR team work closely with candidates and clients alike and have placed candidates in challenging roles for multinational brands with great success. They work hard to maintain client confidentiality so the new site had to demonstrate their calibre, without broadcasting their client's names as social proof. "When you sent this over I only really skim-read it as I was so wrapped up in the content and the website. Now I've had time to properly go through the Tone of Voice and I just want to say, I think it is brilliant. It completely captures PCR - our ethics, our culture, our drive - I love it! I just realised I'd never really given you any proper feedback on this part so just wanted to say a big thanks :)" Laurie, Operations Manager
Website copyDesign 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.

ReportCytora is an insurtech with a difference - a difference they have occasionally struggled to articulate. With this white paper, we went back to basics: explaining what Cytora does and why it is different as clearly as possible, while addressing the biggest problem their clients faced (inefficiency). We dispensed with some of the more overtly creative messaging that had previously been developed, reverted to the CEO's preferred formal tone, and tied it all back to the daily experience of insurance underwriters, finance managers and operations chiefs. Head of marketing: "It looks really really good! It reads well, it clearly lays out the current situation, solution, problems and implications. I'm so impressed!" I'm banking that as a win!

ArticleA 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.

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.

Shepherd Offshore | ServicesIn 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.

ReportBanking Circle provides B2B banking services around the world. It's a key player in the fintech revolution and in this report wanted to address a key market that has long been underserved by traditional banking services - small and medium businesses. Working with the team from comms agency Magna Carta, we interviewed a series of industry commentators, customers, fellow fintechs and SME owners, and then looked for the numbers to back up their thoughts. There were plenty out there - to prove that Banking Circle's premise was spot on. I then turned all this information into a cohesive report (with plenty of circular metaphors throughout - very proud of the carousel of collaboration!) that the target audience would read and get behind. The result was an uptick in interest for Banking Circle - and repeat business for Magna Carta.

EmailI came up with the concept for a multi-faceted campaign targeted at people aged around 50 who should be thinking about retirement - 'The Big 5-Oh'. As well as coming up withy the hero TV-style video, I wrote explainer videos, all content for a retirement hub, articles, emails and more. Within six months of the campaign’s release, Janus Henderson saw analytics soar above benchmark figures and massively outperform previous metrics. The hero video had over one million impressions, with a click-through rate on YouTube that was 280% above what was expected. The print element of the campaign was equally as impressive, delivering over three million impacts.


Findexable is a global research and analytics firm on a mission to digitise investment in fast-growth and private-market fintech.

ReportI’ve written a couple of white papers over the past couple of years for NCR.

The text was based on a series of interviews, a bit of desk-based research, and videos that senior execs had done with industry analysts. I brought all that together, to create a coherent story about a technical topic.
