Jo Shaer, Lollipop, Fire & Security sector marketing agency.
Whatever your message. Whatever your ultimate aim, let me find just the words you're looking for.
Words that can...
🔸 Paint a vivid picture
🔹 Simplify a complex message
🔸 Win hearts
🔹 Bring a big idea or the smallest details to life
🔸 Persuade a sceptical audience
🔹 Capture the imagination
🔸 Build trust
🔹 Break down potential barriers
🔸 Inspire... excite... motivate...
And more besides. Because when you use just the right words, you can make (almost) anything happen.
So, tell me more about the kind of words you're looking for.
Also known as Advertorials, Promotional or Sponsored articles, they're written in the style of an editorial article. And are the perfect way to inform or entertain while raising awareness of who you are and what you do.
Any marketing message (if there is one) should be subtle as advertising features are not the place for a hard sell. And, often forgotten, the writing style should also ideally match the publication it is to appear in.
With a compelling narrative, you can transport your audience into the heart of your plans or designs. Where you can win hearts, boost community or stakeholder engagement, break down potential barriers, build trust, and so much more.
So, transform your project descriptions, case studies, and marketing brochures with persuasive and meaningful storytelling your audience can relate to. Writing that sparks their imagination. Excites... inspires... motivates...
Whether you're an architect, placemaker, planning consultant, LVIA consultant, property developer, or other built environment specialist, forget writing dull, formulaic project descriptions. Or relying on generic, soulless AI-generated waffle.
Instead, use well-crafted architectural storytelling to bring your messaging to life by telling the human story behind your ideas, designs, plans, and projects.
People are at the heart of everything you do. And, best of all, people love stories.
Compelling and meaningful copy that's written to ensure your readers are hooked from beginning to end. Writing that builds connections, confidence, and trust.
While at the same time keeping search engines happy with your desired keywords and keyphrases strategically woven throughout your article or blog.
Such as Booklets, Guides, Reports, Flyers, Leaflets, Postcards, and Posters. This may well be the digital age, but print is still very much alive and kicking.
Print makes you memorable. And having spent 12 years working within Direct Mail Marketing, I have a real soft spot for print, and know just how effective it can be.
There's something special about physically holding a glossy brochure or guide in your hands and leafing through it. A handy source of information that can be easily referred to anytime. Again and again.
Quality writing matched with quality design and print is a surefire way to make a lasting impression – whether that's a single-page leaflet, double-sided card, or a multi-page brochure, booklet or guide.
Sometimes, writing copy from scratch isn't always desirable or necessary - especially if you have a tight budget. Maybe all that's needed is for your existing copy to have a bit of a refresh.
Or, perhaps, you've used AI and want the copy it's generated to have a human voice. Your voice. To be more relatable. Less robotic. And, more importantly, sounding a lot less like your competitors who've all stuck with the same soulless waffle ChatGPT or one of its cousins has managed to cobble together for them.
And, equally important, your AI-generated copy can also be fact-checked to ensure that everything AI has produced is factually true.
Best of all, copy-editing can be applied to both print and digital media.
For example, print media can include brochures, a sales letter, a guidebook or an advertising feature. While editing for digital can include your website, eBooks, eBrochures, blog posts, and emails.
Copy-editing is like adding a spot of polish to your existing words to make them really shine. Because, to shamelessly misquote the late, great comedian, Eric Morecambe... You might be using all the right words, but not necessarily in the best order.
A well-written and well-targeted sales letter can achieve more than you might with a series of cold emails.
You can keep a letter brief with a single page, or maybe two. Or go into even greater detail with three, four, or more pages. You don't have to stint on the words.
A sales letter will have even greater impact if you send it with a beautifully designed brochure, leaflet, or card. Because print lets you make an everlasting impression on both existing and potential clients in a way that digital simply can't.
These are ideal for when you need written content that's perhaps more in-depth than you might want in a standard blog post. Multi-paged, an eBook (or eBrochure) can be easily downloaded, read, and shared with others. Making you an authoritative source.
They're versatile, too. Your eBook (or Brochure) can be a one-off or form part of a marketing funnel series. The choice is yours.
Evocative, story-focused writing that turns a property into a home. Writing that places the potential buyer at the heart of the story. And excited about the new stories they'll be able to make for themselves.
“What can I say? Your words took me on a journey. I was fully engaged and absolutely loved the writing style!"
Toni-Ann Bird, Director, Guild House Property Agents, Warwickshire
Short, creative, and written to reflect your brand in the best possible way. I'll also write as many appropriate variations as possible for you to choose from.
Whatever you need, I can write anything from a single web page to an entire website. So, whether it's to add some additional service pages, a new homepage or about page, or perhaps copy for a completely new website, I can help.
Seach engine optimised (SEO) with your target keywords and phrases, all copy is researched and written from scratch.
I can even help you with standalone landing pages too.
If your website needs a bit of a refresh, leave it to me. Rather than write a page or whole website from scratch, I'll tailor a refresh to your exact needs.
Whether for a single page or a whole website, a refresh is like adding a spot of polish to the words you've written to make them shine on every page.
So, what is it you need writing?
