Senior writer of SEO and digital PR content for companies including

Good writer. Bad careerist.

I’ve written countless words for some huge companies. Breezy blogs, complex guides, landing pages... Often for SaaS. Always to spec.

Sadly, my work's typically anonymous. No bylines, no features, no tentpole pieces. All the performance with none of the credit.

But you should hire me anyway. Consider the apt descriptors below.

Underrated.

People take shortcuts when hiring. I can’t wheel out a classic portfolio of hits (and won’t pretend otherw​​ise) so they wrongly assume I’m not that good. Big mistake.

Underused.

I’m not booked out for months. I have the ability to lead a top-class content team, yet I’m as free as a fresh graduate with no goals or real-world skills. Convenient!

Under no illusions.

I know my value, but I’m not in a position to make demands. I need to earn trust and prove I can be indispensable, so I'll work to maximise my impact.

An economical do-it-all creative.

Tweaking websites, designing graphics, digging into SEO, harnessing AI (or battling it)... If I don't already have the expertise, I'll develop it.

In fact, you'll struggle to find something I won't manage. Need clownery? I'll don a big red wig and provide a suitably uncomfortable experience.

So if you like the sound of an ultra-versatile addition to your team, consider giving me a shot. It's a steal of a deal.

Skills that can pay the bills.

  • Knowing what AI systems can and can’t do.
  • Handling the creative and the technical.
  • Following briefs but pushing back where needed.
  • Making complicated topics easy to understand.
  • Identifying ways to boost your efficiency.
  • Being more flexible than a microwaved slinky.

I excel when trusted.

At Seeker Digital, I went from Junior Digital Copywriter to Content Lead. I wrote, edited, advised, managed, fixed, and had my fingers in so many pies that my knuckles still smell faintly of assorted fruits and meats.

As a freelancer, I've nailed a ton of tricky technical content. So if you’re looking for someone battle-tested, rest assured.

I can share some writing.

Just not much, thanks to my anonymity and the nightmare of finding where (if anywhere) most of my work has ended up.

Here’s one. Here’s another. And a third. There’s even a fourth.

Hoping to dig deeper? You’re in luck. I don’t have a standard portfolio, but I do have a portfauxlio. If you squint, it might pass muster.

If that still isn’t enough, tell me what you need. Give me a task. Bring it on. I might even do it for free if I really want to work for you. (No promises.)

What I’m looking for.

I’ve touched upon what I’ve done, what I might like working on, and what I could do for you.

If you have work that’s remote (or commutable from South-East Wales), I’m open to it. Full-time, part-time, freelance, contract… It’s all on the table.

If it's interesting, great. I'll do my best regardless.

Got anything for me?

I'm ready. Let's see what I can do.
