Copywriting services
Writing for impact
Other people’s attention is like money. Everyone is chasing it. All the time. Look at this… listen to me… join us…
With all this noise, how can you get anyone to listen to you? What can you say that won’t sound like something we’ve all heard a million times before? Your words have to cut through. They have to grab people and shake them and change them.
Writing that kind of copy is an art form. It requires flair, creativity – the ability to think differently. Copywriters are not like other people. That’s probably why it’s not always easy to find them in-house.
After all, who can really afford to pay some mercurial genius to sit around all day thinking up three killer words that will reignite your brand? This isn’t Mad Men, and these days HR would never let Don Draper through the door.
But such people can be priceless, which is why we find them and put them at your disposal. Call on their talents, and they can produce sparkling copy that will make your brand shine. They can change the way people think about the world and use proven formulas to get them to act – because great copywriting isn’t just art, it’s results-driven science too.

What is copywriting?
Copywriting is the moment when pen is first put to paper. It aspires to produce copy that is fresh, original and attention-grabbing – whether it’s for a killer campaign slogan, a strapline or a web page. Copywriters work best when they have the space to make mistakes and go off-piste – that’s often where the magic of great copywriting happens. There’s plenty of scope for it to be reined back in later, if need be.
Our copywriting service involves:
- writing the copy you need from scratch – for anything from brand boilerplate text and press releases to web pages or other projects
- taking a fresh and compelling angle on your intended message and finding creative ways to bring it to life so it stands out from the crowd
- potentially experimenting with several contrasting approaches, and either selecting the strongest version or trialling them all to see which gets the best response.
Our copywriting process
Quote
We usually work to an hourly or daily rate, but we’ll give you a good idea of how long your job will take before we begin and will keep you updated on progress as we go.
Prepare
We study your brief and get a feel for your brand, objectives and audience. Then we brainstorm approaches.
Write
We draft your copy. If required, we can deliver several versions, with commentary on the benefits of each, and leave you to choose your favourite.
Follow up
Once we’ve delivered the copy, we’re ready to course-correct or rewrite until you’re completely satisfied. Most copywriting would then need to go through copyediting and/or proofreading, which we can take care of too.

Frequently asked questions
We place quality at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to be certified for compliance with ISO 9001:2015, the globally recognised quality standard. We only work with experienced and fully vetted editors and proofreaders, and our strict in-house quality-checking processes make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Read more about our approach to quality.
The work and personal data you share with us are treated as strictly confidential. All our team members are fully vetted and have signed a contract and non-disclosure agreement. We never share your details or documents with third parties, and we delete data once they are no longer needed. To find out more, please see our privacy policy.
We calculate the cost of copyediting and proofreading based on the number of words in your document and the amount of work involved (for example, a heavy copyedit will cost more than a light proofread as more work is involved in reworking the document). Send us your document and deadline (or a sample of your text and the total word count) and we’ll get back to you with a free, speedy and precise quote.
We accept payment via bank transfer and PayPal, which includes card payments via the PayPal interface.
For individual clients, we ask that you pay up front the first time we work together; after that, we’ll switch to 30-day invoicing. For businesses, universities and other organisations, we understand that you would most likely prefer an invoice on completion. We’ll ask for your business address, and our payment terms are 30 days from the date of invoicing.
