I have a great track-record of creating compelling content which speaks to audiences and builds connections with brands.I have significant experience of helping businesses to refresh their brand or cement a new brand by creating a new tone and voice for their outward-facing comms. I have written style-guides, created branding guidelines and have refreshed and rewritten all website content for several very different organisations. Each time the new content has delivered increased audience engagement and created a more authentic feel for the business.I regularly write blogs and articles on the behalf of marketing companies and their clients. I can adapt tone and style to suit each organisation and am a skilled and speedy researcher.I am also experienced at working with organisations to gain grant funding. I have led on applications in a variety of fields including heritage and also to gain funding for entrepreneurs and tech companies. I am adept at creating compelling applications which understand the priorities of grant-awarding organisations.I have worked with organisations including CIPR to create fantastic articles and documents with a broad reach. I have created compelling online content for media and creative companies and have worked with heritage organisations, including London Metropolitan Archives, to rewrite research guides to better meet the needs of users.I have also written marketing material for schools to drive up numbers of new students seeking enrolment.
