Andrew Baskott
A copywriter for the UK Architectural, Built Environment, Placemaking, Property, Heritage, Photography, and Outdoor sectors. Available for work
"...with such a complex message, clarity was essential. You have succeeded where we had struggled and the brochures and project proposals you've written are pitched perfectly."
Peter Tyler and Gordana Mandic, Directors, Tyler Mandic Architects, Chelsea, London.
Hi there, I'm Andrew – a Northampton-based freelance copywriter for all things architectural, the built landscape, placemaking, heritage, photographic, and the great outdoors. A writer who brings places, spaces, products, and services to life with meaningful and memorable words.
Words that can...
• Paint a persuasive picture
• Simplify a complex message
• Engage, resonate, and connect with your ideal audience
• Evoke a thought or a feeling
• Tell your compelling story
• Break down potential barriers
• Build trust
• Help you stand out from your competitors
• Inspire even the mildly curious to act...
Words clearly written with a human touch. Not something that's been cobbled together by ChatGPT or one of its cousins without any forethought, care, or effort.
So, whatever your message. Whatever your aim, let me find just the words you're after.
"You have a wonderful natural style ... this is excellent - thank you. Just what we were hoping for!"
Jo Shaer, Lollipop - content marketing specialists for Fire and Security sectors.
Why do I write for such a mix of sectors?
It's not quite such a random choice as you might think. Instead, it's all about photography. Before entering the world of copywriting in 2018, I was a freelance landscape and location photographer. Shooting editorial and commercial images for stock and various clients, including the National Trust, I specialised in photographing Britain's architecture, landscapes, gardens, and heritage locations.
All things that genuinely interested me. And still do. So it made perfect sense to write for clients in the same sectors, too.
In a way, I'm still creating pictures, only now using words rather than a camera. With just the right words, I paint persuasive pictures to bring places, spaces, products, and services to life.
Toni-Ann Bird, Director, Guild House Estate Agents, Warwickshire.
