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.

Congratulations. You’ve decided to read my profile! In copywriting circles, getting the right sort of attention is half the battle. The other half is what I’m much better at; writing the right sort of words. Words that help people understand ideas, businesses and products (and take the right kind of action). Clients large and small Over the years, I’ve written car ads for Porsche, social posts for Bombay Sapphire and entire websites for the RAF. Big brands are often great fun to write for. What I really love is working with small businesses; seeing the smiles cross my clients’ faces as I bring their dream project to life with a few well chosen words. Tone of voice projects are my favourite, and I’ve recently enjoyed collaborating closely with clients such as biomass energy firm Innasol and pest control startup Spotta to get their brand language perfectly tuned for their audience. My skills I can turn my hand to: Websites Long and short form copy ads Brand Tone of Voice Documents Emails Leaflets and brochures Banner headlines Social Posts App and interface copy TV scripts Content scripts Brand and company names Packaging copy Point of sale copy Dating profile copy (that’s a joke, but I’m happy to try…) I’m also one half of a copywriting duo, as my wife Laura is a very talented (and outspoken) wordsmith too. Our copywriting agency folio is online at www.tmcmcopy.co.uk Recent satisfied customers ‘We picked TMCM out of 5 other agencies and were not disappointed. They understood very quickly our challenges and answered very creatively. The result is beyond our expectations. Thanks again!’ Julien Lescure, Founder of Chrome Carbon ‘TMCM are super quick, when they can be and job allows, and I have found the costs very reasonable for the excellent high level service they deliver. I am always satisfied!’ Phil Sills, Photographer and Director - Phil Sills Photography Contact Details Ready to get the right words right?

“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.”

“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.”
