    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.

    Someone once told me that people who think well write well, and I’d like to agree! Writing helps to focus thoughts, hone ideas and change opinions- it’s why I love it so much. I’ve spent the last 12 years using words to tell stories and take people on journeys. Everyone loves a good story and everyone has a story to tell. I love helping my clients to tell the story of their brand, product or experience to challenge, inspire and entertain. Words are the most tangible way for companies and individuals to share who they are and what they do.

“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.”
