Why work with me

Here are 10 reasons to work with me

I’m reliable with exceptional attention to detail. (Daily newspaper deadlines early in my career were excellent training).

I bring big-picture strategic thinking to my work and always write with your objective in mind.

I’m creative. I began my career as a designer before becoming a copywriter. It’s a complementary skillset, but don’t ask me to explain creativity. All I know is “you’re very creative,” and “that’s so creative,” are two of the most common pieces of feedback I receive, and there’s no smoke without fire.

I’m research-led. I don’t just guess what will work. I’ll combine customer insight with established copywriting principles to give you laser-focused copy that hits the target.

SEO skills. SEO is the secret sauce that gets your web content seen. As a marketer, I’m well-versed in SEO techniques and will use keyword research to help your online content rank well in search and get eyeballs on it.

I provide a flexible service level to suit your needs. Not all jobs are equal — sometimes you want some top-notch copy that will be a campaign cornerstone, and other times you need some quick content to plug a hole. So I don’t take a one size fits all approach. Instead, we’ll prioritise your needs at the start of your project, and I’ll adapt my service based on what’s most important to you.

I’ll give your brand a voice. I won’t just write copy that informs your audience; I’ll make it memorable and entertaining so it resonates and connects with them.

Jargon-free copy. Notice how lots of business writing is full of generic buzzwords and jargon? Gross, isn’t it? There’s no quicker way to turn off customers than being impersonal. I write in everyday language that will make your customers love you.

I’m not just about writing. I’m about writing x human psychology x marketing strategy, and that’s a way more potent mix.

Collaborative working. I understand how important your business is to you. I’m here to listen and help you communicate to your customers clearly and effectively. I bring expertise, but I’m not here to impose my vision. It’s all about you.
