Ay up, looking for a sound Nottingham copywriter duck?

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

In fact, I've worked full-time and freelanced for loads of Nottingham agencies including Three Rooms, Hallam Internet, Nzime, Together Agency, Samphire Creative, Chemistry Digital, Rizk McCay, Michon, Skeleton Productions and many more.

Now I want to muscle in with you and do some of your copywriting and content.

I can provide all the copywriting services you need whether you’re in (SEO list coming up folks) the city centre, the Creative Quarter, Lace Market, Hockley, West Bridgford, Beeston and Ruddington, plus Loughborough, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln or Mansfield.

(I was only joking about Derby earlier. I’m a Nottingham lad and as you know, they’re our closest rivals. I like Derby really. Loads of great things come out of there. Like the A52.)

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 Nottingham 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. 

And SEO copywriting

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

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

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 Nottingham, copywriting Nottingham, freelance copywriter Nottingham, content writer Nottingham and so on.

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

And again I’d say no.

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

I’m probably more experienced than just about any other Nottingham copywriter. And I’m almost certainly 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.

Show me the work

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

There was this recruitment ad for Nottingham Business School.

A fundraising campaign for the Woodland Trust.

A website for AAB Bricks.

A direct mail campaign for Alton Towers.

And a blog for the New Fat all about folded leaflets. Riveting.

You can see loads more work here.

Read the reviews

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

Experienced, hardworking, reliable, fast. Jamie Hudson has never let us down.

JEFF MICHON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, MICHON DESIGN, NOTTINGHAM

Jamie is very easy to work with. He is very flexible with the styles of copy and relevant tone of voice. He also handles deadlines well which has become part and parcel of the work we do!

HELEN ANDREWS, ACCOUNT DIRECTOR, RIZK MCCAY, NOTTINGHAM

Really rate Jamie, superb writer with a very quick grasp of what we are trying to achieve with each writing job, and always goes out of his way to fit in with often tight deadlines.

MURRAY CARMICHAEL-SMITH, MANAGING DIRECTOR, THE BCS GROUP, NOTTINGHAM

I've booked Jamie many times to come into our studio as a freelance copywriter. He's always provided a great service, listened carefully to briefs and worked well with all members of the team. I feel very happy to recommend him.

SHARON EDGE, HEAD OF COPY, JUPITER DESIGN, NOTTINGHAM

I have always found Jamie to very prompt, keen and approachable, overall offering a great level of service and good value for money. We will continue to work with him on all of our copywriting work.

IAN MORRIS, MANAGING DIRECTOR, THREE ROOMS, NOTTINGHAM

Calling all Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
