About me
Hello, I'm Bee. And I'm a writer. I've been writing for businesses and brands since 2011. But that's not all I do. Some weeks I'll be helping a brand create a tone of voice and verbal identity that suits them and what they do – to support and strengthen their brand as a whole. Some days I'll be coming up with a name (or names) for a product, service or entire company. Sometimes I'm helping protect a brand and the way they come across, over a huge variety of media. Or I'm translating a tone of voice into a workable system for new technology, like VUI. I work with designers, clients, writers. And sometimes, just by myself. Before I wrote for businesses and brands, I wrote for television, magazines, blogs and myself. (Okay, I still write for myself a little bit.) Right now, I'm in a permanent position at Dragon Rouge as their Head of Voice. If you want to know anything else, just get in touch.

    London, United KingdomFull Time
    As Head of Voice, I help clients find the right voice to fit their brand identity. A voice that works with their strategy and with their visuals. Beyond brand voice, I also help our clients articulate new products on packaging and online, I bring to life propositions through strong narratives, and I train teams to feel more confident living and breathing the brands they work for. I also run seminars and write articles for the industry on topics that make me tick – like why language is often left by the wayside, how to tackle taboos and the ways new technology have changed the role of language.

    At Rufus, we're Brand Experience Engineers. That means we work across the entire experience a brand gives their consumers. I collaborate with a team of incredibly talented people – UX architects, designers, developers, strategists, and a switched-on client services department. I specialise in tone of voice and communicating brand stories – but I also work in digital. From writing for websites and apps, to researching and developing a way for brands to communicate across VUI platforms like Amazon's Alexa and Google Home. I've even ventured into voiceovers. My clients include British Gas, BBC, Aviva and Lloyds Banking Group.
