Rachel Hodges
Creative Content - Strategic Thinking | Corporate storyteller
Here's a copywriter who can share your vision, communicate your message and hit your deadline. I'm a team player with a major can-do attitude. Plus, having oodles of experience gives me just what's needed to create great content for you time and again.
It's this insight that shapes the words I choose, and how they're arranged to create the strongest impact for all my clients, whether the brief is website or marketing driven.
A degree in journalism, a postgraduate digital marketing qualification and two decades embedded within digital, design and creative teams have been the ideal backdrop to my extensive freelance career. Since earning pocket money from my sisters writing their 'thank you' letters as a child, I've always been putting the client first.
If you can name it I can write it...
Past projects have seen me deliver a creative mix:
- website content
- film scripts
- change & corporate communications
- complete magazines
- magazine articles
- newsletters (print and digital)
- social media campaigns
- blog posts
- print brochures
- annual reviews and strategy documents
Broad sector experience
It's useful for you to know I know my way around a broad sweep of sectors and communication needs. That's first-hand experience of creating killer copy for:
- B2B
- Fashion and lifestyle
- Healthcare/pharma
- Health and fitness
- Global business
- Luxury retail
- Higher Education
- Consumer goods
My time in digital teams gives me strong SEO, functionality and usability skills. My clients receive results-driven copy built around thorough keyword research. Plus, my content design knowhow know how to test and retain reader attention. Web developers build better websites with my content performance insight too. And when it comes speaking in plain English, I know how to explain complex comms to audiences in highly consumable language.
If you're looking for a copywriter who's invested in effective client handling and on-target communication then do get in touch. I think you might have found her.
