Writing Portfolio

My words in your voice

My writing has included: a cosmetic clinic blog, a history of medieval militia, accounting reports, linguistic analyses, poetry, comedy and wellbeing literature for mental health groups.
I can manage this range because I listen before I write. Then we work together to shape the text until it's what you want to say. This a small selection of work to give an idea of the diversity of writing I can produce for you.

RIGS

A family of language services - RIGS requires an exceptional standard of writing. I've helped create their suite of 5 websites and several email marketing campaigns. I also provided linguistic screening for a number of brands and products - which involves checking texts and brands for how well they will work in a target language.
Translation Services

Freeline

Freeline specialise in Interactives, like the touchscreens you often see in museums and historic buildings. We work together on producing interactives and websites, information boards and historic documents. This involves editing, writing and at times researching for diverse subjects.
Digital Platforms

Vision ICT

Vision ICT create specialist websites and media primarily for local councils. We have worked in partnership on a number of projects including creating marketing materials for Vision and for a number of their clients. This has included copy for adverts and articles across a range of platforms.
Web & Media

BoTown

BoTown approached me to help refine the copy for their launch of BoTown - a cutting edge marketing and design company in Australia. The brochure needed to be immediate, concise and yet communicate the range and depth of their service.
Marketing Agency - Australia

TPI

An ultra-high-end speaker manufacturer, TPI asked me to help shape their investors pitch. This had to communicate a lot of information without losing the readers attention - not easy given the amount of dry financial and technical data required. I achieved it with a combination of engaging copy and infographics. Their bid was a success.
Speakers & Amplification

Audit Intelligence

At the last count, I have produced eleven websites for Ai and their partners. Often the content is provided in a rough form and I will shape it, at other times I create from scratch. Ai also use me as an editor to check their documents and marketing for grammar, effectiveness and tone.
Forensic Reporting

Barbara Burgess

I helped Barbara create a set of products that targeted particular demographics. Each product was an outline of problems typically faced and how Barbara was able to help with them. This made it easier for prospects to understand what Barbara did, but also made it easier for Barbara to see who her potential clients were.
Success Coach

Coaction Solutions

Rob has a wealth of deep knowledge but struggled to boil this down into an engaging pitch. We created several packages that were easy to sell. Rob's project has evolved as new business concerns have emerged, such as sustainability. We worked together over many years and continued to refine and rewrite his offer to keep it current.

Social

I help others with social and so neglect my own. Don't worry if there's nothing to see - business very much continues.

Congratulations

You pressed the mysterious button.
I don't like pushy websites. A good product should sell itself and only needs good content well presented.
But it looks like I can still make people click through... so if that's what you need, let me know.
Meanwhile, your prize for braving the mystery button... is to learn the secret of my power!
Deep in the depths of my code, the Hamster-engine never tires!
