As a copywriter and editor, I’ve worked for a variety of agencies, websites, businesses and brands, covering topics from travel, luxury, health, fashion and food/drink to FMCG, banking, trading, third-sector enterprises, property and transport.
I work on tone of voice and brand positioning projects and write content for social media, brochures, websites and POS. Using my journalism experience, I’ve carved a niche as a PR copywriter, editor and consultant, often plugging a gap in between hires at agencies or helping out with larger projects. I also offer training workshops about writing effective press releases.
Digital copywriting: Writing social media, newsletters and online articles for Glenmorangie (LVMH/Heaven). I wrote the copy for the Glenmorangie x Grain Surfboards Beyond the Cask campaign that won Bright Partnerships an Indie Award in 2019, and produced a series of destination descriptions for the Velocity Black concierge app.
