So, you need a super experienced London copywriter yeah?

I’m based in Hull, Yorkshire but have worked in agencies and freelanced for copywriting clients like you in London too

In fact, I've worked full-time and freelanced for loads of London agencies including Sapient, Publicis, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy, FCB Direct, WWAV Rapp Collins, GGT Direct, EHSBrann and Grey Direct.

And I’d love to take care of all your copywriting and content.

I can provide all the copywriting services you need whether you’re in (SEO list coming up folks) Westminster, the City of London, Soho, Covent Garden, Shoreditch, Islington, Hammersmith, Kensington and Chelsea, plus Cambridge, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford, Reading or Luton.

Just give me a call on 07966 196706 or fill in the dead simple form here. Then we can chat about what you need and how the Word Dept can help.

If we both feel like it’s a good match and we can work together, then we’ll move to the next step.

We can have a face-to-face meeting in London to kick off the project. Or a Skype or Zoom call – entirely up to you. And if we don’t actually have a massive barney and fall out, let’s crack on.

It starts with my very simple briefing form

I’ll email over a briefing form to fill in so you can tell me exactly what you need, who your competitors are, your unique benefits and your favourite chocolate bar.

(This could be a dealbreaker.)

Doing this briefing form helps you to focus your thinking. And it helps me to do a great job in less time, with less faffing about with tweaks and changes.

Nice and easy

Above all, I make it all as easy as possible for you.

If you’ve never worked with a freelance copywriter before, it might be a little daunting.

What does he need to know? How much is he going to charge? Can I change anything or will he have a massive hissy fit?

That’s understandable, but you don’t have to worry, I’ll guide you through everything. And give you copywriting and content that does just what you asked for.

No bull

I can also give you good, honest, no-bull advice if want it.

I never miss a deadline and never disappear halfway through a job. Emails and phone calls are always answered quickly. And I’ll do as many amends as you need to get your copy just right.

And you might have noticed, I don’t mind cracking the odd crap joke now and again. It’s copywriting, not neurosurgery.

A bit of back story

I’ve been doing this for over 40 years – you’ll be amazed at where, when and who I’ve worked with. There are some big brands in there.

Yes, I should be thinking about retiring, but I still love writing. And I’ve been doing it so long now, I’m really good.

Everything you need

More good old-fashioned SEO sorcery: website copywriting, e-newsletter copywriting, email copywriting, blog copywriting, brochure copywriting, direct mail copywriting, advertising ideas and copywriting and straplines. 

Plus SEO copywriting

Did you just find me on Google searching for ‘copywriter London’ or something like that?

That means I’m pretty good at SEO. That’s because I’m up against all the London copywriters on Google who actually live in London.

But that’s cheating, I hear you say.

Not really, I’d reply.

This page helps me to get a stonking ranking on Google for search terms like copywriter London, copywriting London, freelance copywriter London, content writer London and so on.

That’s still cheating you’d come back with, because you don’t live in London.

And again I’d say no.

I’ve lived in London in the past, worked full-time in London and freelanced for bags of London agencies and clients for over 30 years – see No. 2 and No. 3

I’m probably more experienced than just about any other London copywriter. And I’m a damn sight cheaper.

And if lockdown has taught us anything it’s that remote working is the future.

But then freelance copywriters like me have known this and have been doing this for 20-odd years. I already have clients all over the UK, many of whom I’ve never even met.

Don’t forget, nearest isn’t always the best.

So go on, it’s got to be worth a quick email to jamie@worddept.com or a message.

Tell me what copywriting or content you need, and I’ll give you my best Yorkshire-based price.

See the work

I’ve written lovely words for some lovely people in London.

There was this campaign for Silverlink Trains.

A brand new website for Livewire PR

And one for Hermes.

Tons of press and print for Mercedes Benz.

A direct mail campaign for English Heritage.

And a blog for Mint Twist talking about micro festivals – who knew they were even a thing?

You can see loads more work here.

Read the reviews

And here’s what some of these people said. (No money changed hands, honest.)

Jamie Hudson has a knack of understanding the client's needs beyond the original brief, delivering high quality, bespoke copywriting which exceeds expectations but not the budget.

VIRI CHAUHAN, HEAD OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, FRANCE TELECOM, LONDON

Jamie is one of the most talented and responsible writers it has ever been my good fortune to work with. If you are looking for a conceptual thinker who is also great at delivery, Jamie's your man.

JONATHAN SPOONER, CREATIVE PARTNER, TANGIBLE, LONDON

Jamie is an extremely experienced creative copywriter with many years' experience working across many different industry sectors. He's quick to understand the subject and always comes back with exciting ideas. His copywriting skills are excellent too.

BOB NASH, WATSON PHILLIPS NORMAN, LONDON

I have worked with Jamie in a creative team and in advertising agency creative departments. He has always been easy to work with, a reliable, productive and creative writer. He is my 'go to' copywriter - these days, I can be sure to get excellent work from his mighty pen!

MARK MUGGERIDGE, FREELANCE CREATIVE DIRECTOR, LONDON

Great communication skills - really easy to work with - instrumental in the building of my brand and copy for web/ media. A LOVELY APPROACH that you don't usually find with ad hoc freelance work :)

RACHEL DAVIS, OWNER, ATOMIC TANGERINE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

I get very upset if my first choice of copywriter is not Jamie, with him on board I know the whole job will be professional.

MARK VENNER, ART DIRECTOR, LONDON 

Calling all London businesses

You can come to me direct – and pay much less than going through an agency.

I’m happy to write all of the copy and content for your London company. Just get in touch, we’ll thrash out a brief and take it from there.

Or at least get a quote to compare with your local London copywriters. What have you got to lose?

So let’s talk

So what are you waiting for, Christmas? Let’s get this show on the road.

Email jamie@worddept.com right now or fill in the dead simple form here.

Then we can chat about what you need and how I can help you.
