I’m a senior copywriter with experience for brands like M&S, Quaker, Bacardi, Vue Cinemas, Crowdfunder, Virgin, Knight Frank, Adidas, Screwfix and Tesco.
I’ve written tweets, emails, blogs, captions, AI robot scripts, you name it. I like to turn my hand to all of it. I like working through complicated or slightly disorderly ideas and writing them in the most easy-to-follow, digestible sentences money can buy.
Lately, I loved working on the brand new M&S “parent hood”, a community for parents and parents-to-be. I wrote food-focused features about feeding yourself through the fourth trimester, stocking your post-partum pantry, filling your freezer, hosting first birthday parties, and weaning. I also wrote a suite of weaning recipes for every age and stage. It was a unique joy to get to conflate my food, parenting and brand experience for M&S.
I had a brilliant time with Uncommon Creative Studio on this life-affirming Quaker project. To complement a photo essay by Misan Harriman and Domizia Salusest, I listened to hours of audio from 100 interviews with people aged 1-100 and condensed them into short stories about breakfast, hope and the passing of time.
I wrote menus and more for the brilliant restaurant meal kit delivery platform, Dishpatch. The team adds two to three new menus to the website a week, for which I provide descriptive launch copy and copy for emails and social.
As a senior copywriter at EPAM, my work included: white papers about embedded finance in online retail, a script for OneFootball about the importance of desktop and website in creating a connected user experience, and various ad-hoc projects for banks, energy companies and online shops across the world.
At EPAM, I worked closely with Bacardi to create Instagram posts to run alongside the launch of two apps: Mix Lab and Freepour.
Also at EPAM, I provided regular copy support to the Vue Cinemas team, which mostly involved writing and editing social posts and newsletters.
Also at EPAM, just after the first lockdown, we made Screwfix a new app to help aid smoother collections in a newly distanced world.
At Th_nk (which later became part of EPAM), Knight Frank needed a new website for the increasing number of their clients coming to them for flexible office space. I managed the copy side of the project and wrote everything necessary to get the website launched, before handing over to an in-house team – this included the UX, as well as area guides and industry news stories.
And before Th_nk (pre-2019):
I managed and wrote all copy for the Unite BVI website.
And all the copy for the Virgin Unite website.
I did lots of tone of voice work for Eastpak – for employees based Europe-wide.
In 2015, I managed all copy – for the website, emails, social and comms – for Virgin Media's Pitch to Rich campaign. A year later, we did it all again, but this time it was a bigger and more complicated project, and I remained the lead copywriter throughout. I continued working on winners’ stories into 2017. I was responsible for all ads, email updates and news stories and I posted live through pitchathons and finales.
I wrote copy for Mr & Mrs Smith as they prepared to launch their family-friendly hotels.
I wrote all the website copy for Labrador, the creators of a device that monitors your home energy use and automatically switches you to the best deal.
One of my earliest UX writing projects was for The Girl Effect (by the Nike Foundation).
Writing UX copy for the Organic Milk website involved a lot of research, including interviews with dairy farmers.
I wrote tweets for Tesco, back in Twitter’s heyday.
And Facebook copy for Cadbury.
