Copywriting that connects

Combining storytelling and digital expertise to craft words that work for growing businesses

Writing for small businesses with big ambitions

I’m Joanne Hopkins, the Copyrighter. I create the right copy for growing businesses and I’d love to help grow yours.

Whether starting a new business or expanding an established brand, you need words to achieve your goals. While everyone can put pen to paper or type words on a page, not everyone can write to engage or to convert an audience into customers. Not everyone can use words to cut through the digital noise and connect with their target audience, nor to build loyalty and trust.

Words matter, and as a former senior journalist and digital editor, I know how to harness their power to captivate and convince customers. I’ve written for clients in sectors from millinery to sport, toys to yarn, so you can trust me to find the right words to elevate your business.

Why work with a copywriter?

When written well, words will make you stand out. They’ll win the hearts and minds of your audience, persuading them to take action. Words sell – and I don’t mean in that pushy way most of us find a turn-off. Copy or content, whether for a website, newsletter, blog, social media or a product, should be strategic. It should:

Spark

a connection

Engage

an audience

Solve

a problem

Is it as easy as 1-2-3?

Well, it tends to start with a story. Your brand story. I have years of experience telling other people’s stories in a way that engages a target audience, so you’re in safe hands. I’d be delighted to help you find your voice in a way that connects your brand with your customers.
