There's always more work than week

Hiring specialist support is expensive. There are twelve more AI drafts in review. Your team all have massive to-do lists and it's already Wednesday.

15+ years. Both sides of the brief.

I’ve worked agency-side, client-side and independently, with a career spanning EY, Meta and DataGuard. I know what it takes to write the copy and what it’s like to be the person responsible for signing it off.

Over the past two years, I’ve worked with eight freelance clients on everything from microcopy tweaks and thought leadership to repositioning and a complete website rewrite. You can bring me in for a specific project or regular support, depending on what you need.

And the starting point is always what the words need to achieve. What should someone understand, believe or do after reading? Where you can share performance data, I’m happy to be measured against agreed goals. The words have a job to do. That’s what I’m here for.

Fewer rewrites. Faster sign-off. Launches that land.
