Content strategy and copywriting

For busy businesses that need content but can’t get started.

Are you stuck in a rut with your content?

Trying to do it all can often mean not getting it done, and for many, content marketing quickly drops down the priority list.

Maybe you:

  • Have too many ideas?

  • Not enough ideas?

  • Don’t know what your audience needs to hear?

  • Can’t put words down onto paper?

I can help take you from confusion to clarity.

Using the skills I learned as a national journalist and editor, I pull out the best angles to sell your business to your perfect customers, come up with content ideas, nail your content strategy and craft compelling copy.

Hi

I'm Helen. I help brands and businesses work out what to say, where. That's the basis of content strategy. I also write the content too, if you’d like me to.

After 15 years in journalism I know how to spot the story. But I've met so many business owners who struggle to come up with ideas for their written content, whether that be blogs, LinkedIn, thought leadership opinion pieces, reports or anything else.

I get it, you're running your own business and don't have time, or never had to think about marketing before. You just want to concentrate on offering 'the thing' your business does.

I collaborate with passionate business owners, overrun marketers and busy agencies to tell stories in engaging ways their audiences can relate to.

Most importantly, I help stop overwhelm, bring clarity, and give people back their time.

Proud to partner with

CMI
