About me

I’ve been working as a copywriter for around 20 years. Most of that time I’ve worked in house for advertising agencies including McCann Erickson and CheethamBellJWT.

What I do

I find out what you need to say and find a clear way to say it that your audience can respond to. I enjoy imagining how things are from other people’s point of view – and that helps to find a voice for your brand.

Who I do it for

I’ve freelanced for design consultancies and direct clients, as well as specialist healthcare advertising agencies. All of which has contributed to making me an insightful, flexible, well-rounded writer of all kinds of promotional materials.
