Marks & Spencer
I began working freelance with M&S in June 2007 and
have continued to write regularly as part of their in-house
packaging team. Working with the design department I have
written across a broad range of new and existing product
ranges – generating names, creating tone-of-voice and
writing lots and lots of lovely packaging copy.
Sample
Sainsbury's
For this job – the first major re-design of Sainsbury's
premier sub-brand Taste The Difference – I worked with
brand specialists BR&Me, who brought me in as sole
copywriter to consolidate the copy style, establish a
consistent tone of voice and, ultimately, help increase the
profile and desirability of this market-leading
range.
Sample
Peyton
& Byrne
I've worked with Oliver Peyton on his unique British bakery
brand since spring 2007, writing copy for his beautiful
Mark Farrow-designed products and working to establish the
voice of Peyton & Byrne. With a brand that's
predominantly design-led, the challenge has been to
identify and establish its position and personality through
the copy.
Sample
Roger
Harris Wines
Roger Harris Wines are Britain's leading Beaujolais
specialist and have been importing fine artisan wines since
1974. I became involved with this family-run company in
March 2007, when they approached me to bring a fresh tone
of voice to their communications. I write for their
website, mail order promotions and monthly
newsletter.
Sample
The
Real Greek / menu writing
This highly popular London-based Greek restaurant chain
needed a little help when they were updating their main
restaurant menus. I spent a very pleasant afternoon working
my way through their dishes in the company of their head
chef and then channeled my satiated tastebuds' reactions
into concise and effusive copy.
