WEbSITES

On either whole websites or single landing pages, I write effective on-brand copy, as well as case studies, white papers, product descriptions, newsletters – always with SEO, your audience and tone of voice in mind.

BLOGS

The vital storytelling tool that is blogging can present you as a thought-leader and go-to professional in your field. Whether it’s SEO-focused or for link-building , I write quality blog posts to spec.

PR & COMMS

If you need freelance comms support, help with your messaging or perhaps proactive delivery of the content I have created for you, I have experience of placing stories and press releases, and dealing with media enquiries.

JOURNALISM

At my core, I am still a journalist who is looking for the hook, delving into the research, reaching out to people and creating interesting and informative stories that people want to read. I write for publications and businesses.

OFFLINE

Not all marketing is digital. I provide copywriting services offline too, such as bids for tender submissions and brochures. I am also an experienced copy editor and provide proofreading services too.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The world of social media can be a minefield for businesses both big and small. I provide freelance support on branding, profile building, engagement, strategies, tone of voice and content calenders.

CURRENT AVAILABILITY

I work in a variety of ways and with different kinds of clients. From long-term projects to one-off content pieces, I work with both small and large businesses, agencies, PRs and publications. (Sometimes at the same time.)

Claire is exceptional at what she does. She knew exactly what I wanted and her piece of content achieved national and local coverage. Her journalistic skills and experience come through in all her content to make her a great PR. She is meticulous and methodical and always hits deadlines.

Claire was careful to understand the wider context of what we were trying to achieve with our project, and was very flexible in working with us as the project evolved.
She was communicative throughout and delivered all agreed work in-scope and on-time.
