Stephen Marsh,

freelance copywriter.

Hello, you.

This isn’t about me.

It’s about you.

You need a freelance copywriter because you want to connect with people. You want to reach them on a gut level. You want a voice that stands out. You want to find the story worth telling. You want to make noise, make waves, or just make people buy stuff. You care about what you do, your people, and your customers. You don’t really care about me.

I’m a freelance copywriter with 15+ years’ experience, based in the UK and working with clients worldwide. Everyone from scrappy startups to household names. On everything from day-to-day collateral to messaging, positioning and tone of voice.

I’ll help you decide what you need to say, then find the best possible way of saying it. The way that informs, persuades and – most importantly – sells.

Meet your new favourite freelance copywriter.

From big ideas to everyday collateral.

You need someone who can step into your world, adapt to what’s happening, and bring years of experience to whatever happens next. Whether that’s rethinking what you need to say, changing how you say it, or making people listen. You need smart, strategic work that helps you stand out in any sector, on any channel, for any audience.

That’s where I come in: your go-to for wide-reaching expertise in every aspect of messaging, tone of voice and copy.
All delivered in a refreshingly straightforward and grounded way.
