Sharpe Communications offers freelance copywriting and communication consultancy, specialising in further and higher education/skills sectors. We also work with other not-for-profit sectors striving for positive social impact. Sharpe Communications was founded by me, Kathy Sharpe (BA, MPhil, MCIPR, CIPR Accredited PR Practitioner). I have worked in marketing communications for 20+ years and am passionate about helping organisations making positive social change. I specialise in education copywriting, awards bids, proofreading, editing, public relations, and crisis / change planning. Graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2000 with an MPhil research degree, I worked in the PR and Marketing Departments of a range of charity and public-sector organisations from the Federation of British Artists to King's College London. In past roles, I had responsibility for corporate communications, working alongside Human Resources, Senior Management, and Support Services teams. I promoted the work of individual faculties, business projects, and enterprise start-up companies, most recently leading a communications team in the further education sector. I have lots of experience in the field of corporate communications (internal and external), change planning, and have written text for annual reports, prospectuses, and promotional brochures, alongside creating copy for smaller publications, social media, and websites. I also delivered seminars at national education conferences such as the Association of Colleges (AoC) annual event and given communications training to marketing teams. I launched my copywriting business six years ago and now primarily work with clients in the education sector. These include colleges, universities, local and combined authorities, charities, and skills not-for-profits. Recent projects include prospectus text, editing and proofreading reports, press release writing and distribution, and awards bids for colleges and other institutions, including a PRWeek ‘Decade of Achievement’ Award for Internal Communications, a national Planning Award, and an International Downtown Association (IDA) Excellence Award, collected in Texas, USA, by LeedsBID. Please get in touch to discuss where I can enhance your existing work.

I'm a freelance senior copywriter, one hour from central London, working with marketers and advertising agencies around the world. I create sales copy, web content and campaigns. During two plus decades at top London agencies I've written for healthcare, travel, automotive and much more. With results like 2.7m Facebook story impressions in under three weeks for Tourism Ireland. I’ve delivered over 1000 projects in 17 markets, reaching audiences of 5m plus. I rewrote a website for breast cancer patients, increasing traffic by 38%. The new site won a ‘best practice’ award and became the client's benchmark for online patient support. From this project I learned how design, UX, and copywriting can seamlessly support each other. Prior to healthcare I honed my skills in B2C and B2B, for clients as diverse as Rolex and General Electric. I cut my teeth in traditional media, but have a passion for digital - having written extensively for social media and content marketing. This career experience gives me a deeper understanding of how to truly connect communications across channels. For example, I wrote a set of case studies for the UK’s largest property management company. Working with a team of five including another copywriter, a designer and the marketing manager we developed a Direct Mail and AdWords campaign. This led to a 23% increase in company site traffic, 1000+ case studies downloaded and a 14% increase in new business enquiries over 6 months. In my spare time I love renovating classic cars and motorbikes. The attention to detail, problem solving and concentration this demands helps to bring laser-like focus to my copywriting!

I’m Angie, a freelance copywriter based in Glasgow, Scotland. I’m here to help you find your voice, tell your story, hone your message, and engage with the audience you want to reach. I understand that you’re more than a business: you’re a human being using business as a means to connect with and serve other humans, to share your values and make the world a better place. When you work with me, you get more than a freelancer or a consultant. You get a collaborative partner who cares as much about your success as you do. I mean that: I won’t work with you if I don’t think our values are a good match. What ARE my values? Honesty, integrity, kindness, genuine human connection, and doing great work my clients are happy with. I’m here to make the world a better place, just like you are, and I purposefully keep my workload small so that I can give every project the time and attention it deserves. Whatever your project, I’ll craft copy that is clear, readable, relatable, and authentically YOU. Together, we’ll make sure your message not only reaches your audience, but CONNECTS with them. Background: I've been copywriting full-time since 2020, and recently left an in-house position to focus entirely on freelancing. My copywriting skills are complemented by additional professional experience in: 📖 Bookselling and publishing ✏ Editing/proofreading 🌍 Spanish to English translation ✈ Travel/tourism 🎓 Language learning and education I was born in a small town in Iowa, but I've never let that stop me. I first left home at the age of 16 to be an exchange student in the Canary Islands, Spain. I've taught English in Japan and led adventure tours in Central America. Whether learning languages or teaching them, travelling the world or curled up in my favourite chair with my nose stuck in a book, underlying everything has been an obsession with the power of words. I've edited several novels, proofread many PhDs, and curated the fiction floor of the largest bookshop in Scotland. In short, I’ve been wordsmithing my way around the world for more years than I care to admit. I found my way to my first official copywriting gig in the middle of pandemic lockdown, thanks to a mouse who chewed a hole in a water pipe above my neighbour’s kitchen ceiling – but that’s a story I reserve for our first creative review. (Curious? Drop me a message and let's get the ball rolling!) For the full A to Z of working with me, check out my portfolio site at: www.aisforangie.com

I've been a professional copywriter running my own copywriting agency in Singapore for over 20 years and loving it! I'm from the UK, but manifest destiny took me to sunnier climes 30 years ago and I now spend my time travelling between the two. In an age of AI everything🤖, I am passionate about keeping copy human - you know, really digging deep into who you are and who your clients are, communicating clearly the bridge you provide to take your clients from Point A, their current state, to Point B, their desired state and all the great benefits and outcomes they'll get by choosing you. I specialise in: - documenting your brand voice so that we remove the common obstacles of marketing your message - by defining it clearly for you - writing the marketing materials that move the needle for your business: web pages, sales pages, case studies, stories for social media - training your in-house team to write better copy, when you've decided not to outsource Over the last 20 years I've written for MNCs, large SMEs, government agencies and business start-ups across all industries with a focus on hospitality, education, health and IT.

The most common reaction I get from my clients? "We wish we'd found you sooner!" Other good-to-knows about me: - I'm a mum to two amazing young adults - I play the sax - 🎷 in my mind it's the sexiest sound on the planet (the sax - not me playing it) - I'm a 🐶 lover but we have a 😺.🤷 I've just joined this platform so my portfolio is blank right now until I upload some samples.

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”
