About
For the last three decades I’ve been writing in one marketing guise or other - cars, coffee, Fintech, satellite TV, cruise missiles, broadband, renewables, whisky. Yes, cruise missiles. I’ve suited-up in huge PLCs and played pool with bearded millennials in agencies that lasted about a week and a half. I’ve been promoted and I’ve been fired. And I’ve been to awards after-parties that I’m pretty sure are still going on today.
I love to write and always have done. There’s no secret ingredient in my creative process - I’m not Coke. But I’m inquisitive, business-minded, flexible and personable. If you’re passionate about what you do, we’ll get on fine.
I’m based in Cirencester, home of the greatest cycling roads under God’s blue heaven. But I also have a really fast motorbike so can come and meet you, wherever you are.
If you’re an environmental or animal protection charity, I’ll probably work for free. Otherwise, ask me for a quote
What I do
Full transparency, those are not my actual hands.
I am currently working for a number of clients in the FMCG, Fintech, professional services, communications, technology, leisure, sport, medical and construction sectors.
I’m happy writing web copy, video scripts, whitepapers, speeches, press ads, presentations, blogs, DM packs, award entries, company vision and values, bids, case studies, TED talks, and brand positioning papers.
Basically, if it involves words, count me in.
Testimonials
“My team and I have worked with Richard for over five years, on more than a hundred briefs, spanning a vast range of propositions, sectors and countries. Our ‘go to’ writer, his diverse business experience, rapid grasp of subject matter, and clear love of words has helped us to continue developing as an organisation, and maintain the standards of performance and service our clients have come to expect. Richard is dedicated, collaborative, and someone who I’d recommend without hesitation."
Dale Smith, Founder, Emperor Presentations
