Looking for a copywriter

to champion your cause?

I’ve dedicated lots of my professional life to supporting amazing charities and causes. This includes but is not limited to being brand guardian from a copy standpoint across three of Comic Relief’s major national campaigns, Red Nose Day, Sport Relief, and Big Night In (the Covid Relief special, which raised £70m+). I get a kick out of getting to the end of the day feeling like I did something worthwhile in the world. Recruit me to rally for your cause.

If you’d prefer a conversation, please give me a call on +447555106013

Hire me to:

  • write copy, content, and jokes

  • develop fundraising campaigns with celebrity and community heroes

  • generate concepts that win corporate partnerships

  • write and direct video and social content, podcast ads (and key talent)

  • write emails, DM and brochures, case studies, diversity and inclusion documents, and annual reports.

Some recent highlights

I’ve worked extensively with Comic Relief and built ideas to support partnerships with brands like Adidas, KFC, and key talent, including Jack Whitehall, Lewis Hamilton, and Claudia Winkleman. I’ve also created some lovely projects with War Child, Scope, Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, Pancreatic Cancer UK and more.


I collaborated with War Child and War Child Records on their impact stories in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Yemen. I helped shape them for their website and develop content for sharing across digital and social. It was a beautiful challenge to share these meaningful stories, keeping them concise and told with dignity. I have also worked with Scope supporting them, among many things, with the content and comms for their inaugural Disability Equality Awards. 

These are some of my favourite projects (ever).

For the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, I developed the concept and script for this script which honours the journeys of those who have survived of genocide.

Do you think you can can?

On practically zero budget and the boundless enthusiasm of their supporters, I wrote, created, and produced this campaign with Pancreatic Cancer UK. It has the added bonus of a song that I also co-wrote that might get stuck in your head all day.
