What does a copywriter do? It’s not enough to hire a writer to provide the right words. You need a copywriter who understands the marketing intent. Content must be informed by strategy. Otherwise it’s just typing.

Editing and proofreading

Do you need spare capacity? I apply high editorial standards when you’re over stretched and still need excellent attention to detail.

Specialist services: don’t know your Harvard from your Vancouver referencing systems? Don’t sweat the specialist stuff. I write style guides never mind apply them.

To help you decide whether you are ready to hire an editor (and to be clear about the difference between copyediting and proofreading) please read my simple guide ‘Is Your Content Ready for Editing?’

Marketing

The new marketing mix means figuring out where best to place content (and allocate resources). And that means understanding the marketing strategy.

With experience of fully integrated campaigns, my clients benefit in depth or breadth: from full marketing and communication strategies to simple snappy messages applied consistently across all channels.
