I love words.

With over 10 years of writing for the web tucked firmly under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of businesses and people around the world, scattered across a real pick-n-mix of industries and backgrounds.

Seriously. I’ve written about everything. From small business and marketing to tech trends, lifestyle tips, comedy, and sports. Writing for Scottish arts & culture magazine The Skinny, I was lucky enough to interview the likes of Alan Davies (QI), Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords) and Josie Long (BBC Radio 4). And more recently, I’ve tackled articles on hemp oil, cast iron radiators, artificial turf, and Lebanese wine.

Diverse? You betcha.

“I hesitated writing a testimonial for Iain because I feel like I’m giving away the secret recipe behind our copy. Well, the cat’s out of the bag… If you must know, Iain singlehandedly tackles our most important pieces of content — and he always nails it. Hire him immediately (or don’t — I’m happy to continue monopolizing his time). ”
— Brandon Nolte, Founder & CEO, Healthy Hemp Oil

“So, what can you do for me?”

Oh boy, I’m so glad you asked. I have a mortgage to pay and everything…

In case you were wondering, this is what my face looks like.

In case you were wondering, this is what my face looks like.

Introducing, me.

Looking back now, it’s obvious I was only ever going to be a freelance copywriter.

You see, whether I was working in an office, a marketing department, or with the clients of the digital agency I co-founded, I was always the go-to-guy for words.

As soon as I realised those words could prompt action, improve search rankings, and tempt people to click, share and buy, well, I was hooked.

When I’m not writing, I’m reading about writing. About the psychology of persuasion and the science behind why we buy. I’m keeping tabs on new techniques and looking for every inch and opportunity to make sure it’s my client’s brand, product or service that wins the day.

So, if your next marketing campaign, blog, website or brochure needs words, then I know a guy who’ll write them. Spoiler alert: It’s me.

Too far for a coffee? We can always hop on a call instead. Check my schedule.

But don't take my word for it. Read these sparkling client testimonials. No-one was coerced into saying the nice things they said. Honest.

My winning ideas

I won a coveted Chip at the Chip Shop Awards in London for a spec ad I wrote about Donald Trump (whatever happened to that guy?).
