Welcome to w

business plan writer w.marketing stresstesting business cash flow and profitability

I've been in sales and marketing since I was 16. I remember getting my first double glazing lead during the hot summer of Italia 90! Since then, I’ve founded two marketing businesses, growing one to £1.8m turnover, 17,500 customers and a peak of 62 staff before selling up in 2015. I was on the management board of a telemarketing business which scaled to £700,000 in three years before I sold my shares in 2021.

For the last nine years, my main focus has been ranking customers with conversion-focused, SEO-driven copywriting (and the occasional other project on the side). I’ve helped amazing small businesses and international giants achieve some really great results. Now, AI search is changing everything and I'm determined to secure my customers the early advantage.

I live and die by targets and deadlines. You’ll see that in me and in the people I choose to work with.

Our approach

What you get when you work with me/us...

I never wanted to operate a content farm. And I never wanted to be a hands-off owner, either. I stay close to every project, still spending 3-4 days a week writing for clients. This is what the team and I offer you:

A customised plan for every client

Before we start work for you, I ask you what it is you want to achieve. If I don't think we can do it, I'll tell you. If I think we can, we'll work together on a step-by-step plan to get the outcome you're targeting.

A vetted pool of great talent

I choose the talent I work with carefully and pay the above the market rate. I personally train and test everyone before they start on client work. And I push them to get even better with every assignment.

Real SEO and AI writing skill

"Machines are built on rules", Morpheus told Neo in the Matrix. He's right. The team and I create content that SEO and AI can find. Just as important, we know how to write conversion-driven content that gets enquiries and orders.

Still target-driven to this day

I'm driven to hit targets - yours and mine. That mindset helped me grow, scale and sell two marketing businesses. This need to win is still there in me and you'll see that when you become my newest client.

People who like us

Who we work with

We're B2B people more than B2C but, if we think we're good for a role, we get great results. We don't have a typical type of client but we do tend to work with a certain kind of person.

Content leaders needing more capacity

Your in-house team is great. Your pool of freelancers is talented. But it's nice to know there's an agency that can take a brief and deliver clean copy without constant oversight when your workload is spiking.

Website design agencies that only want to...

...design websites. We're the people you trust for well-written, high-intent SEO copy so your clients rank. Believe us, the switch to AI is the biggest business opportunity in 25 years. Get in touch and we'll show you why.

Founders in charge of absolutely everything

I've been a founder twice - I know. How about you sweat the business and we sweat content creation? Work with us and your content will make you so busy that you'll have to take on help to cope with the workload!

Marketing agency directors wanting reliable talent

It's a struggle to find truly talented copywriters and designers, particularly when you busy. w have already done that so call on us when you need high-quality, AI/SEO-driven content and web design for your clients.

Product launch teams wanting end-user buy-in

Launching a new product or service is exciting but nerve-wracking. In our content, we get to the point, telling target customers what it does, what's in it for them and why it matters. First, the early adopters, then everyone else.

Sales directors seeking more closeable leads

Many agencies think their job is to get you lots of traffic. We're different - we target conversion rate and revenue generation, not clicks. Every piece of content we write aims to move the prospect one step closer to buying.

Who is "we", exactly?

Nearly a decade as a leading copywriter has introduced me to other amazing copywriters, designers, and technical specialists (AI/SEO people). Here's who you'll be working with, all of whom work remotely...
