    I’m an Edinburgh-based copywriter who helps healthcare brands, coaches and charities find the right words to attract clients, fans and funders — and save a whole load of time and stress in the process. Using data and insights, I create copy that works hard for your business, so you can work your magic elsewhere. Simple! Here's how I can help you: + persuasive web copy, optimised for conversion with data and insights + sales pages and lead magnets that convert + shareable blog posts (did I mention that time I increased audience engagement by 5000%?) + email sequences that turn visitors into customers and customers into fans If you're in the business of helping people improve their health (and I'm interpreting that broadly - health, healthcare, personal trainer, nutritionist, fitness, medical, wellness, coaching, food & beverage, public sector, third sector, non-profit...) I've got your copy covered. Got a project in mind? Let's talk: Louise@thecopyprescription.com.

    Mam's the Word – Giving brands a voice Hi, I’m Dan Brough and I’m a creative advertising copywriter. From 25 characters to gloriously-long press ads, and everything in between, I can give your company a personality. I'm on a mission to make communications clear, concise and real. That’s why I apply plain English principles and language to my writing. Why have something that looks gorgeous but the words make folk run for the hills? The two have to work together. I truly consider the format and audience, and make sure the message is right and will have an impact. I’m able to digest complicated copy and then translate and craft it, so you have a human tone of voice that stands out, and a story that makes your audience buy into you and love you. I’m also massively into UX. I believe in writing understandable and accessible copy for the web. What’s the point of a beautiful looking website if no one knows where to go next? Call to action is king. I can help with web copy at any level: from advising on the structure of websites and full copywriting, including keywords and meta data, to light-editing of pre-existing copy. I studied Graphic Design before Design Advertising (where I specialised in copywriting), so I happen to know a thing or two about kerning, fonts and white space. And with years of proofreading behind me, I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail when it comes to spelling, grammar and punctuation. I specialise in: Concept and idea development Full copywriting across all mediums Audit of existing communications from a copy perspective Creating and developing brand personality and core messaging Final copy checks of all materials Proofreading Web content workshops I offer one-to-one tuition and also run grammar workshops for businesses and institutions who want to improve their understanding of words. After leaving Newcastle College of Art & Design, I began my working life as a junior copywriter for Navigator Responsive Advertising in Edinburgh. I then worked my way up the ranks to a senior position, working for various creative agencies in Edinburgh including DraftWorldwide, Family, 1576, The Union, The Leith Agency, and then Frame, Glasgow. After 15 years of living in Edinburgh, I moved back to the homeland, where I worked for Drummond Central in the Toon for 12 years as Head of Copy. In my spare time, I’m Co-Leader of an initiative called ‘Ladies, Wine & Design Newcastle’ which supports hundreds of creative ladies in the North East. I also love hunting for ‘treasure’ – my favourite thing to do is scour junk shops and car booters for vintage ER china and glassware. My husband describes me as a ‘collector of everything’. I also happen to be a lover of the Queen, and the King himself, Mr Elvis Presley.

    Are you a B2B, legal, financial or professional services company, or a startup or scaleup, who is finding it hard to differentiate your products and services in an overcrowded market? Do your experts understand what you do, but customers don't? You need a freelance B2B copywriter who understands the language unique to your business. Not just any writer, but one who can translate complex ideas into simple yet engaging copy and help your customers understand, “what’s in it for me?” Here’s why I’m that writer: • As a former corporate lawyer, the language of business is my second language. I help you ditch the blah and deliver your message with words that will inform, persuade and engage your audience – turning sceptical B2B buyers into your best customers. • As an experienced copywriter (but not past it just yet!), I tell stories that build a brand, nurture leads and position your business as a trusted advisor – moving customers from “I’m not sure” to “YES!” and ultimately driving revenue. • I've worked with over 100 B2B businesses just like you, to simplify your message for your customers and help them see the value you bring – WITHOUT being sleazy, salesy or spammy. I research, write and create web copy, white papers, case studies, emails, landing pages, reports, video scripts, blogs, brochures, pitch decks, bid packages ... pretty much anything that gets your business where it needs to be. Here are a few examples of what I have done for past clients: • The SEO revamp I did of one client’s website resulted in a 146% increase in traffic • Articles I wrote for a legal client resulted in a 64% increase in traffic to their blog • An email sequence I wrote increased webinar sign ups by 200% But enough about me.

    Your story... You’re busy bringing out the best in others. Coaching leaders. Developing teams. Supporting customers. Helping organisations to be effective, engaging and successful. You know what makes people tick. And you’ve got a point of view on leadership, business, culture, behaviour, emotional intelligence, talent, assessment and learning. With more time – or an easier way with words – you’d be knocking out white papers, brochures, guides and blog posts like there’s no tomorrow. My words... Great writing builds trust. But it’s not just about picking the right words. It’s about the work behind them. The requirements gathering, fact finding, benefit spotting, message distilling, meaning building, tone setting, experience testing, perspective shifting, consistency checking, problem fixing. My job is to take this work off your plate. To think about what makes you and your business special. To tune in to your audience. And to craft the words that capture your point of view – on time and in budget. Their feedback... "Sam asked all the right questions, listened carefully to the answers and quickly demonstrated great understanding of what our business is about and what we are looking to achieve. We knew immediately that Sam could help us with our business and with achieving our objectives." Mark Constable, MD, Business Consultant and Coach at Equip Business. "I know Sam’s going to think hard about every sentence, which means we don’t have to!" Nick Padmore, Creative Director at Schwa Consulting.

    Looking back now, it’s obvious I was only ever going to be a freelance copywriter. You see, whether I was working in an office, a marketing department, or with the clients of the digital agency I co-founded, I was always the go-to-guy for words. As soon as I realised those words could prompt action, improve search rankings, and tempt people to click, share and buy, well, I was hooked. When I’m not writing, I’m reading about writing. About the psychology of persuasion and the science behind why we buy. I’m keeping tabs on new techniques and looking for every inch and opportunity to make sure it’s my client’s brand, product or service that wins the day. So, if your next marketing campaign, blog, website or brochure needs words, then I know a guy who’ll write them. Spoiler alert: It’s me.
