About Me

With 20 years\' experience as a CopywriterEditor and Creative Director with some of the World's biggest ad agencies, I deliver made-to-measure writing solutions for independant clients, generating £millions for them in added business. This is where my value lies. However small (or even tiny!) your writing job is, I work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to deliver work that always delivers for you, and achieves what you want it to achieve. I've won all the major national and international advertising copywriting awards, and have won £multi-millions in new accounts. I've worked in London, New York and Dubai.. I have a degree in journalism (in addition to B.A. (Hons) in English), and have extensive journalistic experience on national and local publications. I've also written three non-fiction books.
Based in London, I have dozens of happy clients from Plymouth to Glasgow - and all over the world. Although I frequently work for global corporations (Coca-Cola, Emirates, Rolls-Royce, Epson, United Biscuits, Thornton's, Sotheby's) - I welcome small jobs that are the 'bread and butter' work for all freelancers. I am a wicked editor, too - I never miss an error. Ever.
I am ridiculously friendly and easy to work with, using my skills and experience to deliver results for you,on time and on-budget. I will always negotiate a fee that is acceptable for you - regardless of how large or small your budget is. I would rather work for a lower fee than no fee at all!
I hope you find my CV and track-record inspiring, and let's hope I can do a top job for you, too.
Kind regards,
Chris Holmes.

Chris is extremely experienced and has great talent for words, he found creative ways of explaining my product! Would highly recommend and will surely try and work with him again!

by Julia S on 10 Oct 2011

Unfortunately and despite the agreed deadline, we were unable to deliver the assignment to our client on time, because I had to re-write the copy myself in the end. The work was delivered in the wrong format, was too short and contained a number of spelling errors. I hope this was a one-off experience and does not represent his standard of work.
