Freelance B2B/B2C copywriter for clients in a range of sectors. As an expert copywriter, I’ve provided high-quality copy for clients in a wide range of industries that have included tech, finance, healthcare, lifestyle, and beauty. I've been responsible for delivering vital editorial services such as thought leadership, SEO-focused website content, eBooks, customer comms, and social media management. Thanks to my former media experience I have helped secure client bylines in Forbes and Venture Beat, to name a few throughout this time. What's more, I was actively involved with PR and media outreach, which included media monitoring and crafting pitches for clients. In this role, I’ve worked closely with the international team and attended regular client calls in order to produce well-researched and SEO-friendly copy.
