content editor
who i am
I’m an experienced content editor specialising in marketing communications.
What I dO
I work with design studios and communications agencies, marketing teams and web developers to deliver dynamic copy that engages, compels and communicates your brand’s unique offering.
what does that look like?
I listen to your story and understand your brand, culture, aims and vision.
I research your sector to find keywords that optimise your copy for search engines.
I take your brief and write content such as a product description, blog post, ‘about us’ page or press release.
I edit your copy into concise professional communications that reflect and position your brand.
I proofread your ads and marketing collateral to ensure they’re ready for publication, correcting errors and inconsistencies.
I create style sheets for your team to apply to copy produced in-house so they’ll never inadvertently dull your shine with off-brand messaging.
WHAT’S WITH THE TYPEWRITER?
Ah, that’s just for fun. I promise I won’t send you slightly smudged hand typed letters by post.
background
I started as an intern in the editorial and graphics departments of a regional weekly news magazine. Following a degree in English Literature, with specialisms including language in business in industry and technical communication, I moved to the production department of a non-fiction book publisher.
I founded my own creative business where I learned the ins and outs of SEO content marketing, social media, press and PR. For some years now I have combined the work of creative business owner with freelance work as a Content Editor specialising in marketing communications.
I work chiefly with design studios, marketing and PR agencies, but also directly with brands, often liaising with their marketing managers.
You’ll find me at my laptop with a New Oxford Style Manual and Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage to hand.
