Press Advertising�- unlock the power�
You need press ads that grab attention, get the facts across�fast and turn interest into action.�
I provide memorable headlines that stick in the mind when�you want to build a brand, and persuasive detailed copy when�you want direct response, or to sell off the page.�
From Marks & Spencer to SanDisk and Canon, I make ads work�harder.�
Isn’t that what you want your ads to do?�
SanDisk needed to promote their range of memory�cards to professionals and enthusiasts. I wrote a�headline that made the product name memorable,�established the sales points - and was tailored to�the target audience. With bodycopy that struck the�right balance between techspeak and benefit, the�client saw a clear and demonstrable lift in sales�.�

Business to Business -�and more business for you�
B2B marketing needs special knowledge. An�understanding of the priorities of businesses�of all kinds, the ability to tap into mindsets�from the sales force to the boardroom.�
I work across a huge range of� industries. IT, finance, construction,� engineering, services...�

Cisco Systems developed a practical solution to put videoconferenc-�ing on every desk. I developed an integrated campaign, with E-mails,�brochures, banners and press advertising to introduce the new range�- with language and cultural variations for use around the world.�
Direct mail�- pushing the envelope�
Anyone can write a letter. Not everyone can�make the reader decide to pick up the phone�or go online to make an order.�
I can. With a long list of national and interna-�tional awards behind us, with clients like�Amex, British Airways, Volvo and�NatWest, we can demonstrate the�techniques and the passion to make your list�of prospects into a list of customers.�

RBS provide a range of Invoice Finance services for�businesses of all sizes. My experience in DM helped to�make those mailings successful.�
Financial -�Because there’s no such thing as�easy money�
Financial copy is difficult. It has to do much more than simply�talk about products. It has to negotiate a minefield of legislation,� persuade reluctant customers and meet brand guidelines.�I have worked as a consultant within UK banks and building socie-�ties. I can lead you through that minefield, and into the land of in-�creased sales that lies beyond.�
Citibank needed to launch a complex investment�product. I turned financial jargon into clear sales�copy - and dealt with the all the legal constraints.�The result? A highly profitable product issue.�

Technology -�First understand. Then, sell.�
From selling a laptop to a home user to a DMZ setup to a sysadmin, there�are many levels of technical writing. I can provide them all.�
Whatever their level of technical knowledge, it means you can give your�readers the explanation they need - and get the response you want.�

HP needed to promote their range of laptops�and PDAs. I produced a mailing that�made these technical products highly appealing�to a non-technical target market - with copy that�explained as well as sold. Results? Excellent !�
Websites -� a new kind of writing�
E-media needs a special style of writing. Capturing attention, turning interest�into attention and then into action needs special writing techniques. SEO�makes things eve more complicated. I have provided�Add SEO into the demands on your content, and you can start to see why�companies like Sainsbury’s Bank, RBS, BT and HP have called in Wordman.�

EDM and social -� the new frontier�
E-media has opened up some exciting new possibilities for marketing.�I have developed techniques for making the most of them.�
Newsletters�- read all about it�
Newsletters and magazines - in print or online - are one of�the most effective way to build customer relationships.�
But most advertiser published magazines are simply never�read. The writing lets them down.�
I can research, write, edit and proof read editorial content�that is read enjoyed and acted on.�
Insight is aimed at roofers. Covering the�latest products is only one factor behind�its success. My ability to talk the�language of the man up the ladder is another.�
