Communications strategy and content

I can work with you to develop and implement a communications strategy that will help you achieve your business aims. I will recommend - and produce - content that does what you need it to do, whether it's increasing awareness of your organisation, attracting new customers or enhancing the loyalty of current clients or staff. 

 

Editing and proofreading

I can edit existing text to the style you want and give it the sparkle needed to attract readers. Or maybe you just need a fresh pair of eyes to check your copy for mistakes. I'll spot - and correct - everything from an errant apostrophe to uneven spacing. 

 

English language checks

Learning a second language is hard - I know, I've tried! If you're not a native English speaker, I can make sure your text sounds like you are.

 

Résumés and CVs

Maybe the brand you need to promote is YOU. If you're in the market for a new job, you need to make sure your application catches the eye of potential employers and shows your skills in the best possible light. I can produce professional résumés and CVs that will help get your foot in the door. I can also advise on selection criteria and cover letters.
