    Hello, I'm so pleased you've chosen to browse my bio. I'm Emma, a copywriter and content manager based in London but originally from the North-East (as you may be able to tell, I'm very proud of my northern heritage). I've lived in London for over 20 years, after moving here to start a job for an airline. That only lasted a couple of years when I realised sales wasn't for me, so I moved into marketing and finally settling on copywriting and content marketing. What you're reading here, is how I write - conversational. It feels like I speaking directly to you, doesn't it? If that's the style of writing you're looking for, then I'm the writer for you. Brands who have asked me to write for them include Harrods, Jaguar, L'Oreal, The Institute of Directors, SumUp, Sprout World...

    I do words. On the page. On the screen. And in person. I call myself a writer and communication skills specialist. Which means I talk about and teach people how to be better at writing and talking. Easy stuff we learnt as kids but sometimes doubt we're any good at. Or have forgotten what we learnt because it was yonks ago. Currently looking for public speaking opportunities.

    I'm an experienced Senior Copywriter. You'll find me at www.seanluckettcreative.com/, or squirrelling away at numerous agencies across the UK. I turn my hand quickly and effectively to any type of copy and work on everything from branding exercises and sales emails to product naming to tone of voice, SEO, annual reports and website copy. Whatever the size of your business I can help. I currently write for Volvo, English Heritage, Diageo, Pets At Home, and GWR, and recently completed a large web project for Greene King. In the past I've crafted copy for MasterCard, Rolls Royce, Unicef, Microsoft, SKY, Royal Mail, BT, Virgin, Sainsburys, Aldi, AXA, Zurich, UEFA, The FA, Silverstone, RTL Group, Capital One, Morrisons, Shell, Johnson & Johnson, Starbucks, Turkish Airlines, Avis, Lloyds, RBS, Bacardi, Bulmers, BUPA, TNT, Hilton Hotels, Hotel Du Vin, Malmaison, De Vere Hotels, University of the West of England, University of Edinburgh, University of West London, University of Strathclyde, University of Greenwich, and many others.

I'm also a dab hand at helping small and growing businesses get their message across. So, whatever your audience, you can rely on me to work with you to create meaningful communication that fits your exact needs. Before copywriting I was a broadcast journalist with experience at a number of radio stations. I then worked in market research with clients including Levi's, Britvic and Danone, before completing a Masters in Scriptwriting. I have since written a number of novels and documentary, film, radio and television scripts.

    As well as being a freelance copywriter with nearly 30 years' experience (I'm not that old, I just started young), I'm also Content Director at Executive Influence (EI). Our mission is simple: to help B2B brands win business, acquire talent, and attract investors by making more of the often overlooked knowledge, expertise, and opinion that sits in their leadership teams. We do this by creating high-quality executive content that supports their strategic goals, inspires trust, establishes authority, and influences the decision-makers they want to reach. The result? More visibility, more connections, more opportunities, and, ultimately, more business. It’s how we helped one MD capture a £2m opportunity that led to a £20m one. It’s how we helped one CEO achieve a 33:1 ROI with a targeted piece of content. And it’s how we helped one Marketing Director hit 500+ whitepaper downloads by senior leaders in his industry – and, in the process, generate close to £150k of revenue (and counting). If these aren't compelling reasons to invest in executive content, what are? 20 YEARS AT WRITERS Before setting up Executive Influence, I co-founded Writers in 2001 to help businesses and brands in the UK and around the world tell their stories, bring their ideas to life, and get their messages across. With 27 years' full-time writing experience, I'm quick on the uptake, whatever the subject or comms objectives of the brief. I love bringing dry, dusty, or technical subjects to life, which may explain why I write a lot for technology companies, and financial and professional services firms. AWARDS If 'award-winning' is important to you, I've made it into the D&AD Annual a few times and won a Transform award for 'Best use of copy style/tone'. Though, to be honest, I've always put effectiveness before industry accolades. More importantly, I've had lots of clients say nice things about the words I've written for them (gushing testimonials available on request). Once, I even had a boardroom spontaneously applaud after reading my articulation of their brand (also available on request). Brands I’ve worked with include Aldi, Astra Zeneca, Bacardi, Ciena, English Heritage, Environment Agency, Goldsmiths, Kings College London, MasterCard, NIG, Reckitt Benckiser, Reuters News Agency, Rolls-Royce, Thales, Thomson Reuters, Triodos Bank, Vodafone and Worldpay. BRAND WRITING I can also help brands articulate who they are, what they do, and why they're special by developing value propositions, messaging frameworks, style guidelines, and tones of voice. In fact, I've created new tones of voice for folk like the Natural History Museum, global US law firm Latham & Watkins, TNT International, City University London, Hotel du Vin and Malmaison. So their values as an organisation come through strongly in their comms. PROJECT MANAGEMENT I’m an experienced project manager and have run writing teams on large-scale and short-notice projects for outfits like Vodafone Group Enterprise, the BBC, Triodos Bank, Cable & Wireless Worldwide (now part of Vodafone) and the University of West London. QUALIFICATIONS I have a degree in linguistics and have completed Marketing Week's Mini MBA in Marketing taught by Professor Mark Ritson. It covers the same core marketing modules as leading MBA programmes and has been more use to me than all my higher education combined. Anyway, enough about me. Let's talk about you. How can I help?

    I create content that adds value. By creating content that brings something to the table, my clients can have confidence that their voice will be heard amid the maelstrom of digital noise that we all face every day. We are inundated by content all of the time, but it's rare we discover content that we feel is really worthy of our attention. By writing content that adds value to end users, I help my clients build their digital profile and online reputation, which in turn helps them to build their business and grow their opportunities. I have worked with brands that include Hildon, IBM, Lenovo, Kaspersky, ServiceMaster, Twinings and Oxfordshire County Council, and have developed a proven track record delivering content that drives new business.

“I am at my best in the morning, so I try to schedule all creative tasks before lunch. If I’m struggling in the morning, I use the classic strategies of changing where I’m working from, taking a break, or exercising in the hope of a Eureka moment.”

Declan Morton, Copywriter.Declan Morton

“I’ve always enjoyed writing but I didn’t set up on my own account until 2019. At that point I had been teaching for nearly two decades and had become frustrated with the academy trust to which my then school belonged. I took a plunge and set up as a freelance writer.”

Jo Watson

“I wish we were all more honest when speaking to newer or younger copywriters and telling them what to expect in their career. It’s a hard job, it’s constantly evolving, and it’s still nowhere near as widely respected (as both an art and a science) as it should be.”

Abby King

“Let your work breathe. While it’s tempting to send over to the client once a piece is ready, I try to give it at least 24 hours (where time allows!) before I go back in, review and send.”
