Hello, I’m Simon, an English copywriter

I’m British and I live in London, United Kingdom.

I’m a Creative and strategic copywriter

My job is to make you look good. To write copy that people want to read, create ads that get you noticed, or develop distinctive voices that allow you to stand out. Over the years I’ve got pretty good at it. But you’d expect me to say something like that, so here’s what others have to say.

“Giffgaff was never going to be like any other mobile network. Success was dependent on us being, free, original, decisive even. In Simon we found a kindred spirit, someone who understood what we needed and capable of delivering it.”

Steve R. James, giffgaff, Marketing Director
