Creative Wilderness

Copy Editing Day & Email Sequence Copy

Charlotte came to me after feeling frustrated that all the examples of sales page copy she could find online were focusing on pain points, rather than empowering the reader.

So we worked together to change that. Giving her sales page copy the refresh it needed, whilst creating an email sequence that focused on value rather than the traditional “funnel” approach.

You can read Charlotte’s write up of her experience here.

“I loved how you thought about my whole business and brand when thinking of the copy”

“So refreshing! I loved how you thought about my whole business and brand when thinking of the copy and threaded my wilderness and roots concept to create memorable phrases. You also thought about the reader journey and made excellent suggestions to improve the impact of the copy on my website. 

My website is my ‘home’ and favourite way to connect with people and recently I felt it wasn’t quite connecting or conveying my value as my business has grown and shifted. The new copy I feel perfectly captures my ethos, my personality and speaks directly to ‘my people’.  I can’t wait to transform my website with the new copy!”

Charlotte, Founder of Creative Wilderness

Elle Linton

About Page Copy & Done-With-You Newsletter Copy

What’s the hardest page on your website to write? It’s always your about page…

Elle was looking for a way to showcase her expertise as a fitness professional, whilst still feeling authentically her. 

We then worked together again on a project to revamp her newsletter, with a fresh but manageable approach for her multiple audiences.

Hilda

Brand Messaging Guide & Seasonal Newsletter Copy

Hilda’s a beautiful brand with a special story to tell. Whilst its founder, Rosanna, knew the broader story behind the new brand, she was struggling to condense it and package it into a clear message. 

She needed an external point of view to help find that focus.

“I felt confident that a big part of my brand was being developed by someone who really cared and wanted it to be as good as I did!”

“It was super easy and Pip’s excellent organisation meant I always knew where we were at in the process and what was happening. I felt confident that a big part of my brand was being developed by someone who really cared and wanted it to be as good as I did! That meant I could focus on other things without worrying at all.

Pip worked on my complete Brand Messaging for Hilda. This is invaluable in helping me to convey everything that Hilda is about through the copy I use across everything from my website to social media, emails, everything! It was especially brilliant, right at the end of building my website, that bit when you just wish it was done AND really good, I could turn to Pip’s brand messaging document and place the perfect copy throughout my website without really having to think, just following her direction. It was such a relief.”

Rosanna, founder of Hilda

“Pip is such a joy to work with. Super professional and responsive, always delivering top quality work. We have been working with Pip over a few years now and plan on continuing our partnership.”

Saraniya, Programme Manager at The Diana Award

Yop & Tom

Brand Messaging Guide, Website Copy, Blog Content & Newsletter Copy

I love working with passionate small business owners and Yop & Tom are no exception.

They came to me looking to create a strong message to promote their growing range of paper products. Something that felt different and original, speaking straight to their target audience whilst also reflecting their mission of unlocking people’s potential.

What started as a brand messaging and website copy project, soon grew into a long term collaboration and we now work together on a monthly basis.

Joya Books

Copy Editing & Email Marketing Copy

Angelique was looking for an English version of her current (French) website copy. 

It needed to be written by a conversion copywriter, that the moment her English speaking customers arrive on her site, they feel right at home.

“It's been so nice having someone in my corner to support me”

“I loved all the insightful questions you asked at the start of our projects, they’re questions I continue to ask myself when I’m writing now. I also love that you took the time to trawl through my blog content for supporting links and ideas. 

You added so much value too – challenging my thinking and adding insightful ideas of your own. You helped me achieve far more than I could have done on my own. And really helped propel me forward with using my voice more. It’s been so nice having someone in my corner to support me with that. And I love that you’ve helped improve the experience that my couples have too.

You’re not giving up control. Pip has this way of getting right inside your head and working like an extension of you. She always delivers on time (so rare!) and is just such a lovely person to work with.”

Sarah, founder of Sarah Vivienne Photography

Charlotte Payne Barrister

Website Copy

Charlotte came to me looking for a personality-filled yet professional way to create a new website in the legal space.

She needed copy that spoke to her unique approach to the law, whilst still meeting the strict criteria of her profession. Together, we were able to craft a website that balances both. We developed key messaging, revamped her professional profile and created copy that leans into Charlotte’s unique skills.

“In a world which is 'suited and booted', Pip allowed my personality to shine through”

“Pip helped me show myself in a world which is ‘suited and booted’ and very professional, she allowed me to let my personality shine through.

Working with Pip was a real pleasure. I never felt rushed, I always felt like I knew what stage the project was at and communication was excellent throughout. I felt really supported emotionally in decisions about what to include, or not, on my website. Thank you.”

Kayla Jean Design

Brand Messaging & Website Copy

Kayla contacted me as part of a wider revamp for her business. She was looking for a way to showcase the unique value she creates for her graphic design clients.

She wanted to move away from a website that simply listed her skill set and toward a site that created a purposeful experience for her visitors, showing how her work can impact their business as a whole.

Together, we took a deep dive into the purpose and mission behind her business, crafting new brand messaging and purposeful website copy that she’ll be able to use for years to come.

“It was really great to know that someone else was taking action on a part of my business that I had neglected for years”

“I feel much more confident sharing my website and feel my customers have a better idea of my capabilities as a designer and who I am as a person. So far I have received great comments from others (especially the about page).

I felt Pip really listened to my thoughts and feedback. She did a great job capturing the tone of my work and my personality as well as helping me narrow down to my target market.

I am excited to use the messaging guide in the future! It was really great to know that someone else was taking action on a part of my business that I had neglected for years. “

Josephine Brooks

Copy Editing day

Josephine works with coaches and course creators to give them the tools to escape the social media hamster wheel, and embrace sustainable marketing instead.

Through her evergreen marketing approach, she empowers them to shift to a freedom-friendly business model. With automated sales funnels, strategic workflows and sustainable marketing plans.

Josephine had been writing the copy for her clients herself. But was finding that it took up too much of her valuable time. She was ready to lean into the areas of her work where she felt she could have the most impact (and the most fun!). Together we got these copywriting tasks off her plate.

"I then wait excitedly to receive the copy the next day. It's like a treat landing in my inbox"

“Pip is organised and efficient. I love the process of putting together a brief and having a quick kick off call at the beginning of the day. I then wait excitedly to recieve the copy the next day. It’s like a treat landing in my inbox, I love reading through it all when it arrives.”

Josephine, founder of Josephine Brooks
