What I do

Copywriting

Promoting your brand, product, service or event in a way that makes your people say: “yeah, this is for me, like.”

Storytelling

Helping you tell the story of your project or purpose in a way that makes your people care.

Messaging and content strategy

Advising you on what to say, how and where to say it, through research, conversations and understanding you and your people. Plus, some nous picked up over the years.

  • Art, culture and community organisations
  • Non-profits
  • Freelancers and small businesses
  • Brands that want to make the world a better place

Who I don’t work with

  • Crypto schemers
  • Pyramid schemers

What you can expect

Transparency, flexibility and honesty 

I’ll always be clear and what I can and can’t do.

Collaboration

I work closely with you at every stage and bring in trusted creatives if your project needs it. Teamwork makes the dream work, and that. 

Graft

I limit my time to 2-3 concurrent projects. My attention is never too divided, so your project gets the attention it deserves. Work is always done by the agreed dates.

Kind words from sound people

“A talented copywriter and a genuine joy to work with. He knows what to say and how to say it, whatever the brief.” – Kate Mather, Four

“One of the most skilled copywriters I’ve ever seen. The guy’s a word wizard.” – Gareth Cowen, Gateshead Council

“His creative ideas around copy, ability to craft the right words and adapt to the clients’ tone of voice is second to none.” – Lisa Holt, The Creative Alchemist

“He succeeded my already high expectations based on previous experience working together, with lots of humour and personality too. I had no notes. Everything was perfect.” – Harvey Morton

“I honestly didn’t even know it could be done, but with no fuss, nothing difficult, just an absolute boatload of support to help me finish the project. The words were great value for money, but the human himself is priceless.” – Suzy Jackson, The Technicolour Project

“Not only is Gareth an absolute dream to work with, his copy is phenomenal.” – Jo Millett, Lean Content
