    I've been a copywriter since 2011, and specialise in saving people from website shame. You know the feeling... You give someone your business card, hoping they won't check out your website. I also deal with the fiddly business of on-page SEO — so your sparkling new content gets noticed by more people. And if you've been putting off writing blogs, whitepapers, case studies or anything that needs well-chosen words, put it off no longer. Ask me to do it for you.

    My love of words led me to write from an early age. At the age of 10, I was writing silly stories and rhyming poetry, so it seemed natural that my career would be within the creative industry. When I left college I joined the world of advertising and marketing where I worked with some amazing national companies in magazines, newspapers and radio. Constantly learning my craft on the job, my appetite to learn more and be the best I could be, drove me to achieving several diplomas in copywriting, content marketing, blogging, search engine optimisation (SEO) writing, social media and digital marketing. Over the years I’ve written an array of different projects including SEO writing for websites, radio/TV/video scripts, blogs, press releases, magazine/newspaper articles, social media posts, internal company documents, online and offline advertisements, etc. Goodwrite.ink, my own business, has been established for over 12 years where I have helped many businesses build their brand, be seen and heard, be visible online and create loyal customer relationships. As writing is my passion, being a professional copywriter is a dream come true.

    People need you - let’s not waste words. You’ve got fifty-five words to make people stay. You’ll need the exact search terms people use to look for you. That leaves about fifty words to say what you do. Using language that sounds like you and your brand. While tickling their subconscious psychological needs. Oh, and make it entertaining, too. Want some help? I’ve been writing professionally since 2016. I wrote content for personal finance blogs, then progressed into copywriting for a wide variety of clients and agencies. If you poked me with sticks, I’d probably admit a preference for working with ethical businesses and social enterprises. But I love to learn how things work, and I get a real kick from immersing myself in the fine details of different industries and disciplines. The bulk of my work this year has been for universities and HE providers, including University College London and the digital learning platform Coursera. I deliver: • Thumb-stopping website copy and article content • Extensive topic and industry research • Tone-Of-Voice Audio Recording Analysis, to help founders and entrepreneurs develop an authentic written persona Get in touch, and let’s get it written up the way you need. Email dan@magnifycopy.co.uk, or call me on 07927389370.

    Hi, I’m Lex. I’ve been helping brands find their voice and tell their stories for almost 15 years. I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes doing things like defining tone of voice and training people to use it, naming products and companies, work-shopping key messages, and copywriting for all kinds of things. Recently, I’ve set the tone for a fintech start-up, helped a very popular video game company define its voice, and named a couple of boozy businesses.
