Freelance PR and communications specialist

Leeds, United Kingdom

About Me

I'm a freelance communications, PR and copywriting professional with over 8 years experience.

I work closely with each client from the initial brief, through to the finished piece and pride myself on the care and attention given throughout the process.


PR and Communications
I provide a host of PR and communication services: PR consultancy, press release writing, pitching feature articles or press releases, and planning and executing successful PR campaigns to promote and raise the profile of an organisation, brand or product.

I have an excellent working relationship with local and national journalists and the ability to creative and pitch feature articles or press releases. My ability to spot good news stories and turn these into creative, informative press releases has secured my clients national, local and trade press coverage.

Copywriting
I am an experienced copywriter and offer a range of copy writing services: paper marketing (including annual reports, leaflets, sales letters and brochures), online marketing, product descriptions, article and blog writing and website content. I am SEO aware.

My content positions a business against its competitors. It is creative, informative and written in a tone and style that targets its specific audience.

I’m always looking for interesting projects, so get in touch if you have any you’d like to discuss.
