What I Do​

Strategic copy and brand voice for beauty, lifestyle and modern brands.

01

Brand Voice & Tone​

I help brands define how they sound – and why it matters. From tone-of-voice frameworks to messaging systems,
I create clear, usable guidelines that bring consistency across every touchpoint without losing personality.

Good for: rebrands, scale-ups, global teams, founders refining their voice

02

Campaign & Launch Copy​

From big idea to final line edit, I write campaign-led copy that connects emotionally and performs commercially.
This includes launch messaging, hero copy, email campaigns, landing pages and supporting content.

Good for: product launches, seasonal campaigns, high-impact moments.

03

Web, Email & Content Strategy

I shape long-term content ecosystems — websites, email programmes and editorial, designed to build trust, drive action and support growth. Always grounded in audience insight and business objectives.

Good for: website rebuilds, email strategy, always-on content.
