Copywriting news
While a lot of my copywriting projects are of a confidential nature and so can’t be publicised, from time to time I get to make an announcement. All very exciting stuff…
04 August 2009 – Giveamonkey.com goes live!
It’s been a little while in the making, but social life tool www.giveamonkey.com is now live and active.
giveamonkey is a website allowing users to create wish lists for any occasion, plan parties and events, shop online, and share any celebration with friends. Most importantly, it’s completely free to use. Personally I think the really clever aspect, and one which I’ll be making use of first and foremost, is the Giftermonkey tool, which allows a user to grab the details & photo of any item on the entire web and add it to their wish list. Genius.
I was contracted to carry out all copywriting for the website, brainstorm concepts and development ideas and help with social media aspects of the launch. Pretty obvious then that I’m pleased as that big-nosed feller to see the site go live. Get along there and start party planning and getting your Christmas gift list sorted…
20 July 2009 – Franchising guidebook published
Basil Plews‘ book The Franchise Way has now been published and is available to buy. All budding business owners take note…
My role in the production of Basil Plews’ book The Franchise Way was as freelance copy editor and proofreader.
Basil approached me because the original print house he was dealing with claimed to have proofread his book, but when he got it back there were more errors than before… Now that’s got to be dispiriting.
Proofreading turned into copy editing, as I can seldom hold back if I think there’s room for an improving tweak, but the bulk of the book is Basil’s insight into the franchising world. Enough to give a chap ideas.
20 April 2009 – Helicopter charter company website takes off
Helicopter charter company Capital Air Services (CAS) has launched a new website to follow its name-change earlier this year.
Formerly Oxford Air Services, the CAS fleet of helicopters is growing and its diverse corporate, personal and utility clientele is heading to the continent more frequently.
I was engaged as copywriter while No Nonsense Design handled all photography and design. My remit was to put together a voice for the company which would work for both its hard copy brochures and new website, incorporate SEO copywriting techniques, and appeal to the company’s diverse client base. Sadly I was not paid in free helicopter rides…
