Why hire me as your copywriter?
Words: you have an inbox full, social media streams full, maybe even a hallway full. How do you reach your customer through the throng? How do you stand out, build trust, get them to read your content ahead of the rest…?
Copywriting (writing for advertising or marketing purposes) is tough to do well. It takes time, research and discipline, along with a creative spark. But here’s where I come in: I love writing and researching and building new things from the Lego bricks of early ideas.
I love the process of crafting words to transport, inform or influence a reader.
Along the way, I’ve contributed to, authored and edited white papers and strategy documents to support decision-making for multi-million dollar deals and operations. I hold a research PhD in Geology and have written papers about that too.
My combination of technical, commercial, field and exec office skills and experience is pretty unusual. I can communicate in a huge range of teams and environments.
I’d be delighted to create something that your customers will love. Please get in touch for a free, no obligation chat.
