    For the past 7 years I have written short and long copy at some of the top London advertising agencies - including Iris Digital and Publicis Modem - for big clients like Renault, Morrisons and Volkswagen.

    If you\'re putting together email campaigns, websites, advertising banners, brochures or mailshots, I can supply engaging, strategic copy on brief and to deadline.

    Everything I write is based on techniques proven to get customers ordering. Hire me and I will work hard to get the cash registers ringing for your company.
