About me

Hi

I've been a copywriter at Manchester-based PH Media Group for the last four years, and de facto head of copy for the last year.

Here, I looked after a team of six copywriters while handling plenty of creative for both the business itself and a wide range of clients, ranging from SMEs to whopping big brands like Warburtons and Subaru.

PH is a specialised audio branding agency, which means it deals almost exclusively in marketing you can hear - radio ads, on-hold messaging, that sort of thing. Elsewhere, my experience in direct marketing, long copy and SEO has been developed through internal and co-branded campaigns, as well as plenty of freelance. Following a move to London earlier this month, I'm now looking to build on this experience in a through-the-line environment.

I'm also a fiction writer outside of work hours: my debut novel was picked up by London literary agency Rogers, Coleridge and White, and in May just gone it was longlisted then shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize 2012 - the UK's largest award for unpublished novelists. Earlier this month I accepted an offer from a respected publisher.

I've attached my CV and some examples of work that highlight my ability to write snappy and longer, tone-of-voice-led copy.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
