Let me tell the world what makes your business special
About me
I’m Tim. I’ve enjoyed writing for as long as I can remember, whether that meant stories, songs, essays or books. Eventually, I realised that something I had always loved doing could become the basis of my working life.
Since then, I’ve written professionally for large and small companies. My work has included articles, adverts, blogs, social media content, press releases, brochures and email campaigns. That experience taught me how to understand a business, discover what it has to say and communicate it in a way people want to read.
Running my own business gives me the opportunity to use that experience to help smaller companies with their communications. I enjoy discovering what people do well, learning what makes their business distinctive and finding the words to share it. I get to spend my time doing work I enjoy, while giving business owners more time to concentrate on the work they enjoy.
Why small business marketing works differently
Working with businesses of different sizes has taught me that small companies have their own marketing needs. Time and budgets are limited, so choosing where to put that effort becomes an important part of the job. A small business can achieve far more by concentrating on the people who have a good reason to be interested in what it offers.
That thinking shapes the work I do with my clients. I look for useful opportunities to communicate with the people they want to reach, then create the content needed to make the most of them. It is a practical approach designed around the resources a small business actually has.
You know how good you are at what you do. My job is to understand what makes your business special, then find the words that help the rest of the world see it too.
Finding the story in your business
Every business has things worth sharing: expertise, experience, ideas, achievements and work its owners are proud of. When you are immersed in the business every day, deciding what to say about it can be surprisingly difficult. I enjoy finding those stories and turning them into communications that people will want to read.
That might mean explaining a service, sharing some useful knowledge or giving people a reason to remember your business. Whatever I’m writing, I want the finished piece to sound like you and represent your work well. My role is to find the words that do it justice.
How I work
Every client is different, so I start by understanding your business, what you want to communicate and where you would like some help. Some clients need regular content, while others come to me when they have a particular project, idea or opportunity they want to pursue. We agree what needs doing, and I take responsibility for getting the work written and finished.
I keep the process straightforward and involve you where your knowledge or approval is needed. As I get to know your business, I build a stronger understanding of how you work and how you like to communicate. This makes it easier for you to hand work over and get on with running your business.
Let me tell your story
If you run a small business you’re proud of, I’d love to hear about it. Tell me what you do, what makes your business special and which parts of your communications you would like some help with. I can then suggest where my experience and writing skills could be useful.
You can find more detail about the work I offer on my Marketing Services page. It covers the different ways I can help with your business communications and gives you a good idea of where we might begin. From there, getting started is simply a conversation.
I hold qualifications in copywriting, SEO content writing, social media marketing, and editing and proofreading.
