    Do you need a new tone of voice or a brand refresh? Perhaps a video script, or your site rewritten. I'll be your guide. My USP: I'm an award-winning advertising copywriter and scriptwriter with 25 years of experience who has worked in B2B, consumer and healthcare. My training at the School of Communication Arts, and extensive writing background, means that I’m conceptual and strategic, and not simply a writer who fills in the blanks. I grasp the essence of each communications challenge quickly, and can help advise you on the best approach for your marketing strategy. How I can help: Whether you’re looking to launch or relaunch your brand, need a consistent tone of voice, a big communications idea with deliverables across multiple platforms, or simply a blog, an email campaign or a website refresh, I have the expertise to deliver copy that brings results. What I offer: My specialisms include advertising concepts, direct mail, press ads, posters, radio ads, social media, SEO content and online advertising. After interrogating the brief, I produce all types of written material, from banners and viral marketing, to TV, film and animation scripts, brochures, catalogues and flyers. Editorial services: If you’re looking for more straight-forward editorial assistance, I can proof-read and sub-edit your copy to help you optimise your content. Alternatively, I can write original copy from scratch or refresh your existing content. Committed to producing the best work, I check and double-check my copy every time. My approach: I’m equally happy working on my own; or in close collaboration with a creative director, art director or designer, as well as in larger, multi-disciplinary teams of software developers and project managers. I set high standards for myself and never compromise on quality. Working with me: When you work with me, you’ll discover I have the following skills: - conceptual thinking - commercial value add - both long and short copy - a flexible, versatile attitude - ability to build rapport quickly - quick learning capacity - a sense of fun A typical project begins by discussing the brief either face-to-face or over skype or zoom, email or by phone. We would then agree on deadlines and budget, any source content, and if appropriate, set milestones for delivery. I look forward to working with you. Still undecided? Here's what some happy clients of mine have to say: “Julia is a very talented scriptwriter. Her response to any brief is thoughtful, creative, highly structured, and presented with a clear and considered rationale. And it's always delivered bang on time. She has a flexible approach and is great in client-facing situations. She's able to produce beautifully crafted work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia to anyone in the creative industries whose first consideration is quality.” Kate Greenslade Video producer Freshly Made Films “Julia is a terrific writer and a brilliant addition to any team. She gets to grips with briefs at very short notice and can swiftly respond to deliver superbly crisp and clear copy that does the job perfectly. She's definitely that 'go-to' person when it comes to finding a fantastic freelance copywriter.” Katy Lindemann Digital Product & Experience Strategist “Julia's exactly what you want in a freelance writer. She's fast, efficient and writes fantastic copy. She's also good fun to work with and can turn her hand to just about anything you throw at her.” Ian Sweeney Freelance Creative Director “Julia is an excellent Copywriter. She takes our extremely vague briefs and turns them into absolutely perfect copy. She is by far the best Copywriter we have ever worked with.” James Percy Managing Director Verasseti & Dreamspace UX “Julia kicks ass. She knows how to write well, she knows what reads well, and she knows the business inside and out. I was brand spanking new to ad copywriting when I first started working with Julia and most of the stuff I now know that's worth knowing, I learned from her. She is clear headed and will give no quarter in defending the word, the flow, the meaning of the work – all without being precious about the end product. Julia is a real pleasure to work and collaborate with. If you want creative copy with the integrity of the finest pizza crust, you want Julia Howe.” Laura Rohde Senior Digital Copywriter Wunderman Look forward to working with you.

    👋 Hello, I’m India, a creative and meticulous copywriter with a decade of experience in digital content creation. I help companies achieve their digital goals through compelling, on-brand content that drives results. But enough about me. Let’s talk about you. You're in the right place if you need help with:Website landing pages that engage, inform, inspire and convert. High quality SEO articles or landing pages. Brand articles that set you out as a thought-leader in your field. On-brand UX copy that guides users seamlessly through your app or website. Targeted digital PR campaigns that achieve coverage and drive results. On-brand CRM copy that enhances customer experience and speaks to your company culture. A brand-new tone of voice that encapsulates your company values and personality. There’s more detail below. But if you’ve heard enough, drop me a line to discuss your latest business needs, ideas, and big-future-plans 😌 – india.johnson12@gmail.com. Who do I work with? Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with brands and organisations across many sectors. I’ve become particularly familiar with the insurance, tax and FinTech sectors, as well as fashion and retail – but I don’t like to limit myself to a handful of spaces. I’m really versatile and enjoy the challenge of becoming an expert in new industries. Why work with me? You’ll get a highly motivated, friendly, and creative individual on your team. I’ll help you solve problems, navigate tricky briefs, and come up with killer new ideas. You won’t need to worry about whether or not I’ll ‘get’ your brand voice. I’ve been brought on as an editor for multiple large-scale copy projects (including for Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, and Pfizer) to bring copy in-line with strict tone of voice guidelines. I’ll support you through the grey-areas – briefing isn’t always straightforward and it’s not always easy to know what you want. I can guide you, helping you to clearly define your goals and figure out how to get there. 😀 What my clients say about working with me “I never thought working with a copywriter would be a silver bullet for my business, but working with India has come pretty close. She’s captured the ‘voice’ of my company and has made our marketing, content and even product that much better. She’s given the company a personality that our customers and partners have really gravitated towards. Not to mention she is an absolute joy to work with – responsive, communicative, and an overall nice person.” – J.D. Rainey, CEO, Finmo “India is fantastic to work with. She’s smart, self-motivated and knows how to get to the route of a problem. She can get to grips with a client’s business, technology, product or service by asking the right questions in order to create compelling, on-message content that really gets to the heart of what’s needed. But more than that, India doesn’t get by on just delivering what’s required. She’s not afraid to speak up, question things and drive home what she knows will deliver real value. That’s what sets India apart from most copywriters. She can really be relied on to deliver excellent copy to brief, but she can also contribute her own ideas to execute above and beyond.” – Louise Quenzer, Head of Content, Brave Bison

    Hi there, I’m Toby. I’m a senior copywriter and editor with 16 years’ experience. I’ve written for brands like bp, Heineken and VistaPrint, plus work for DC Comics and Liverpool FC. I can help you with writing emails, names and taglines, website content and UX copy. And if you already have the content – whether it’s AI generated or you’ve written it yourself – I can quickly edit it for clarity, style and tone of voice. My copywriting experience is in performance marketing and right now I’m working in the field of behavioural science. I help companies create campaigns that change behaviour. When it comes to copywriting and the creative process, I’m all about collaboration. The energy that comes from sparking ideas off other people makes me smile. A few facts about me: I can wiggle my ears, I eat the skin on kiwis, and when I’m really into my writing, my head tilts slightly to the right (apparently it means I’m using my left-brain - who knew?).

    First up, let's be clear about our assumptions: I'm going to assume you're doing your *thing* pretty darned well. You might not be the best. Or the most premium. Or the most well-known. But you're not a hot mess and there are real reasons why customers should choose you. If this *isn't* true, close this browser window right now and go fix those things that are holding you back. Because I can't polish a turd. Or maybe I can polish it a bit. But it'll never shine quite like something of a less turdy nature. Like some nice metal. Or a jewel. But if it IS you, and you know that your words could be working harder, then you've come to the right place. So a bit about me... * Having started out at legendary brand agency Wolff Olins, I've worked with loads of big-name brands, across a ton of sectors. * Since going freelance in 2018, I've also helped lots of ambitious, growing businesses talk about what they do in a clear and meaningful way. * I'm versatile and adept at producing high-quality short and long copy, across all kinds of applications. And I can tell a story. * I keep a laser focus on the reader's needs, and will always champion clarity and accessibility. * Coming from a branding background, I know how to find your tone of voice, and can write clear guidelines that help everyone *get* it. * I'm a dream to work with (so say the people who've worked with me). If you're sensible, you'll want to see some work before hiring a copywriter. You'll find mine here: https://www.dylanparry.co.uk/ Assuming it leaves you with that warm n fuzzy feeling, please do get in touch. I'd love to talk.

    I have worked with words one way or another for more than 30 years. I’ve long been fascinated by the way that people interact with, and are influenced by, the written word. The power of words to transform and persuade is my ongoing passion. I’ve studied creative writing and therapeutic writing and I’m trained to lead writing groups. My background is in journalism and I have worked as a reporter, feature writer and a sub-editor for various publications and outlets including The Daily Express, CA Magzine, The Mirror, STV, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Daily Record and The Daily Star. Writing projects have included web content for new credit cards, website content for economic development, healthcare providers and charity sites, and destination descriptions for the National Trust for Scotland. I’ve looked after various content management systems, written bids for international lawyers, and created content surfaced as Google featured snippets. I’ve worked on clients’ business launches, rebrands and website redesigns. I live in Cumbria with my dog and youngest son.
