Have you ever received a love letter?
I’ve received 3 in my lifetime, and there’s nothing quite like it.
Just a scribbled collection of words and letters, sure, but when they’re put together in the right way, it’s a poem to your very existence. Something that speaks right to your soul. The feeling of belonging, and being seen. A silent song to the wonderfulness that is ‘you’.
It’s connection.
OK, so obviously, I don’t make a living from giving or receiving love letters.
I create and strategise content for brands, their websites, and social media.
But love letters are an important reminder of the power and importance of connection. And how wonderful, moving, influential, or memorable it can be.
My work as a social media specialist, copywriter and content marketer is all about finding the right words, videos, images, or content, so they can unlock the potential of your brand, your product, or your service.
And perhaps, most importantly, so that you can connect with the right people at the right time.
Lots of things fall under this category! You may need help writing product pages and new landing pages to improve your SEO rankings, or perhaps you need a strategy for updating existing pages, or rewriting your old out-dated content. Your website copy is so important for brand perception, and website SEO, so make it count.
My skill set is extremely cross functional, so I work a lot with wider digital marketing disciplines. This might include newsletter creation, SEO strategy, CRM strategy, marketing events, influencer events, influencer relationships, and digital PR campaigns.
A big part of my role as a freelance content and social media specialist - is creating and implementing content strategy. This means visual content - both photography and video. The content plan and the assets I produce are always tailored to your business goal, whether that is social media, brand awareness, or product sales.
I have 14 years experience managing social media for brands, both organic and paid. I tend to work end-to-end with clients, from strategy creation and audience research, to content production, photography, video editing, and finally, scheduling, uploading and reporting.
Rewrite of all product page descriptions on Daler-Rowney (leading UK art supplier). 200+ pages rewritten and re-imagined for SEO purposes.
200+ new location landing pages created and written for the the Rover.com UK launch, with a focus on location-specific keywords.
16 in-depth client case-studies and reviews, for software company SparkToro. Using existing testimonials, fleshed out with in-depth strategy and advice.
Monthly social media content creation. Each month using current products to create fresh, fun and engaging imagery and video content.
Look, I could have uploaded a ‘corporate-style’ photo of me here. With sleek hair, next to a split screen set-up, in a modern hot-desking office.
But honestly, that doesn’t really feel like ‘me’.
Truthfully? I don’t even work at a desk most of the time. I work in a reclining arm-chair in my bay window (like the kind Martin has in Frasier). I like it there because I can see the world going by, and my dog likes to hang out there too. And obviously, I like having him by my feet, keeping me warm.
I love content, I love strategy, and I love being able to innovate with brands I love.
Alongside being a freelance copywriter and social media content creator, I also own an online travel website, called theworldandthensome.com. This little blog has been running for over 10 years now, and received 3 million visitors last year (so I guess it isn’t so little anymore?).
So, if you need any travel tips, you can email me for those too!
What are your rates?
My rates are dependent on a variety of factors. This includes the type of project, the time it will take to complete, the scope of research involved, and so on.
The best way to get an idea of cost for your particular project is to drop me an email. My rates are very competitive for freelance copywriters in London.
Where are you based?
I am a freelance copywriter based in a small town called Leamington Spa, about an hour away from London. It’s a lovely place to live, and means I can easily commute into the city when needed.
A lot of the brands I work with are based in London, so if you’re looking for a freelance copywriter in London, I’m a great match.
Do you have availability at the moment?
My availability for work changes month on month (it’s one of the fun things about being a freelance copywriter). My work changes, and schedules change too.
Please get in touch to hear my current availability, I’m excited to hear from you, and hopefully work together.
How many years of experience do you have in copywriting?
I have 14 years of experience in this industry. I started my career at 20 as a Social Media and Content Manager in a small London agency. I have since worked in many other agencies and in-house, too, before settling into freelance life as a freelance copywriter in London and surrounding areas.
How many years have you been freelance?
I made the permanent move into freelance work in 2017. But even before that, I often took on freelance writing projects in my spare time.
For example, around the time of my wedding, I had a regular wedding column in one of the UK’s best bridal magazines.
Are you writing a book?
Yes I am! A lot of freelance copywriters hope to one day publish a book – and I’m certainly one of them.
I love telling stories, and I hope one day to publish one of my own. I’m currently writing a fiction book. As any author will tell you, it’s a hugely frustrating and tedious process (so let’s not talk too much about it!).
