You can trust me to deliver the copy you need - I’ve over 25 years’ experience and a track record of winning awards, notably in the charity, financial and retail sectors.
You’ll get more than words - I walk in the shoes of your audience, finding the insights that matter to them. What I write is meaningful, persuasive, effective and oozes your brand personality.
Ask me to give you a fresh perspective. I throw myself in – deconstructing propositions, creating audience personas, getting under the skin of your organisation, to make sure your messages resonate with your audiences.

Volunteer recruitment -
Samaritans needed more volunteers at night to listen to callers. I developed a series of copy concepts to recruit night volunteers, which were tested in research. The winning idea was developed into a successful campaign.
Email campaign -
Concepts and copy for an ongoing email trigger campaign to thank regular customers - and to encourage lapsed and infrequent cinemagoers to return to the big screen. Unable to use imagery from the films, copy took centre stage (quite right too!)
Corporate pensions -
I worked as part of a team to plan and create a website for employers who chose Zurich as their pension provider. Innovative content – including apps, videos, tools and animations – helped employees engage with their workplace pension. Who said pensions are boring!
My other projects for Zurich include B2B pensions, corporate risk, investment, salesforce tools and presentations, propositions development.
Trees Appeal 2020 -
The pandemic brought the issue of access to and our need for nature to the forefront. Quality green space is not only sparse but is declining. The green gap is growing wider. For this campaign I developed the creative theme, and wrote copy asking supporters to make a donation to help the charity campaign for more green space.

I am an experienced copywriter and communications specialist. After graduating I trained as a copywriter at a leading agency – cutting my teeth on clients including Barclays Bank and Habitat. And I’ve picked up awards in the UK, Europe and the USA.
I’ve led creative teams in agencies, worked client-side as head of a marketing communications team – and today I love working with my own clients and partners.
