"Whatever the nature of the assignment, I found Rebecca's copy to be clean, well-crafted, persuasive, and always in line with our communications strategy."
Michelle Jakeway, Marketing Manager, Ideal Heating
I help companies reach, engage and influence their target audiences – whether prospects, customers, or other stakeholders – through the power of the written word. Whether this is achieved through an organisation's own communications channels and assets, or through the press and other media platforms, my broad marketing communications and publishing background means I've got a wealth of experience and insight to bring to the table.
With a career in consumer and trade magazines, and B2B and B2C PR and marketing communications, I've written a lot of content for a lot of different purposes and audiences. I've covered topics from bridal gowns to diesel engines, although I specialise in homes and interiors, construction and maintenance, building services, and engineering.
I've commissioned freelancers myself, and held both agency and in-house marketing communications positions, so I've got a broad understanding of the pressures involved and how the best outcomes may be achieved. Having been on both sides of the equation I know just what's needed for a smooth, efficient, and effective working relationship.
A solid brief is an essential part of the process, to ensure the asset can fulfil all its strategic objectives. But that's not to say a full brief must be drawn up prior to involving me. With my marcomms experience I'm ideally placed to help pin down all the necessary elements including format and scope, objectives, target audience, style and tone, and call to action.
After more than 20 years of working in marketing, PR and journalism, I'm a dab hand at creating well-crafted copy for books, magazines, newspapers, brochures, websites, blogs, social media, adverts, white papers, awards entries, advertorials, case studies, press releases, scripts, newsletters, presentations and speeches. And I'm always on brief, on time, and on budget.
