Marketing Executive / Production Editor

Your content could be better, and deep down, you know it. 

Is there something missing from your articles, case studies and video scripts you can't quite put your finger on?

You may have spent a lot of time on them, but they're not generating new enquiries or the awareness you need.

If you're fed up wasting money and effort for little or no return, it's time to try a different approach.

AI is all around us, whether we like it or not. And that's creating a huge opportunity to tap into human stories that are engaging, emotional and memorable.

That's where I come in. I've interviewed professional athletes, award-winning entrepreneurs and senior figures in financial services, among others.

It all starts with crafting the right questions to get answers that resonate with your target audience. 

So, if your articles aren't amazing, your case studies are stale, and your video scripts lack that va-va-voom, I can help you. 

I work with the following organisations and more:

- Membership bodies looking to highlight success stories
- Banks that want to showcase how fantastic their colleagues and customers are
- Magazines seeking compelling thought leadership pieces on important topics 
- Creative agencies that want to break the mould with their case studies to bring in more business

I've written professionally for 18 years for clients including Lloyds Bank, Chartered Banker Magazine, Hilton Hotels and GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf. 

"Whenever we are working with a client who would benefit from copywriting support, I immediately recommend Jamie as he is talented, trustworthy and takes the time to understand the client’s goal in order to deliver exactly what they need." - James Tulloch, Project Manager at Daysix.
