    Thought leadership, content strategy, campaign messaging, content planning, creative copywriting, editing, and proofreading. Yes, it's a list. A list of all the things I get involved in here at AECOM, where I lead thought leadership and content for Europe and India. It's not exhaustive by any means, but a reflection of the variety of my day-to-day work - which I love. AECOM is a huge global infrastructure consultancy, so I need to be on top of a huge range of topics. This week's to-do list comprises articles on the benefits of data analytics, powering up green ammonia production in Paraguay, and India's first fully underground metro corridor in Mumbai. It's certainly a job for the intellectually curious. Personally, I am an advocate for strategic planning and knowing your audience. Content must be targeted. I'm also really enjoying trying out various AI-powered tools that are helping my team to produce quality content at scale and pace. I'm just entering my fourth decade in the writing business. In that time, I've been a managing editor, food columnist (loved that), feature writer, PR account manager (hated that), production editor, and a contributor to the Rough Guide to Japan. Yes, that's another list. But after more than 30 years in the business - there's a lot to include!

He was not only receptive to my ideas and modifications but also provided valuable suggestions to improve the content. This collaborative approach made our partnership a breeze.” - Cheryl Jones, Career Moves Group "So many positive things to say. I began working with James in May 2021, when he successfully completed our first project on time, within budget and with a high level of commitment. James takes time to really understand each brief and adds value with well-considered recommendations. He has exceptional project management skills, he is professional, knowledgeable and a very positive person to work with." - Angela Hobbs At a time where attention spans are shrinking and demand for engaging content is rising, I fully understand the need for effective copy that gets you the right result. I have been working in the marketing industry for 12 years and I love helping ambitious businesses express what they do in the best possible way. I have worked (and still work) with some truly remarkable clients, who rely on me to create professional copy that reflects their brand and achieves their goals.

After our initial meeting, I was excited to see what he would put together for me, and what he came back with showed me that he was deeply listening to my tone, my needs, my audience and my goals. Since my first project, I keep finding other things to hire James for. He is organized, easy to work with and communicate with, full of integrity, creative and on point. If you are looking for a great copywriter, James is your guy!" Sophie Frabotta - Awaken

    You’re a business owner. No, wait – creative director? Head of copy? Marketing manager? Recruitment consultant? (Look, I’m a freelance copywriter, OK? Not Derren ruddy Brown. Although we do share a hairline, I’ll give you that.) Anyway. Words matter in your role. In fact, your success depends on them. But it’s not strictly your job to write them. And even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t have the time. Too many deals to do. Pitches to win. Teams to manage. Clients to shmooze. So don’t sweat the scribbling. Leave it to me. And I’ll leave you to ace the rest. Deal? 📧 jj@joejeffries.co.uk 💻 See how I can help 🌊 Freelance copywriter in Brighton – that's me 💂🏼‍♂️ Need a freelance copywriter in London? That's also me (well, more or less) “I needed to sound like a real person – a better written version of my spoken voice. I also really needed to remove confusion about what I do and provide for my three types of clients in a concise and likeable way. You’ve captured this really approachable yet sharp-tongued persona in the copy. It tells the story I knew my agency needed. Definitely no more confusion about who I am as a personality and what I can do for my clients. My website copy is now the perfect vetting tool I needed for prospective clients to read. Bloody brilliant!.” Sarah Kinsella, Founder, Louise Agency

    I help brands find their voice, articulate their message and connect with their audience. Before becoming a freelancer, I was a (rather exacting) client. I used to be Head of Digital for some blue-chip brands, so ROI is never far from my mind as I put words through their paces. I’m fluent in all things digital, and I love collaborating with developers and designers to create content with impact. My side-hustle is sociolinguistics and my research is published in the journal Gender and Language. That means I’m just as happy conducting in-depth research and communicating complex ideas as I am writing killer UX copy. As a seasoned freelancer and contractor, I bring all my expertise and experience to each new project, whether that’s writing for a heritage brand or creating a launch strategy for a start-up.

    “Find out what you like writing about and go all-in.”

    Hannah Rose

    “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.”

    Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

    “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.”

    Jo Watson

    “I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”
