Ideas and concepts

Whether fulfulling an existing brief or coming up with creative concepts from scratch, an great idea can make all the difference!
What counts is what works - a good idea in the wrong context is not a good idea.

PR WRITING

Good PR writing involves re-styling your marketing message to suit the media. I can make it easy for them to feature you! A full PR liaison role can also include nurturing long term personal relationships with key influencers.

AD COPY

A memorable headline with clever wordplay? If you want something jokey, I've got a punning plan (see what I did there?). Succinct, punchy body copy is a must. Beacuse I usually also design the ads I write, there's a synergy of text and image.

JOURNALISM

As a student I studied journalism and edited the college newspaper. I have written many reviews and articles over the years, especially music reviews. I have also had more sober articles published in trade magazines, most recently in Digital Printer magazine

“We have commissioned Jim to write case studies for us on numerous occasions. They are always well written and effective, and supplied with supporting photography of a high standard. We also trust Jim to deal with our customers in a professional way"

Jo Watkiss, Marketing Director, Watkiss Automation Ltd

“Jim has written several articles for Digital Printer magazine, all of which have been well researched, engagingly written and delivered on time"

Michael Walker, Editor, Digital Printer Magazine

“As an agency dealing with B2B and B2C customers, we need versatility in a writer, and we have found Jim to be the ideal freelance. He’s good at coming up with ideas and snappy headlines for our ads, but equally adept at all the other writing tasks we have given him, such as press releases or general copy. He is particularly good at taking badly written ideas sent to us by clients and turning them into legible, workable prose."
