Health expertise.

As a copywriter, I’ve created compelling content for NHS Trusts, NHS Digital and private healthcare organisations. This includes patient literature, websites, magazines, leaflets, annual reports and quality accounts. I’ve also helped to create targeted magazines for hard to reach social groups. As a feature writer and section editor for national newspapers and magazines, I specialised in health, fitness and wellness.

Tourism marketing.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked closely on a rebranding exercise for Monkey Haven, a multi-award winning attraction. In 2019, I helped our small team to win a Best Told Story Award from VisitEngland for our communication materials, including the website, App, signage, guide books and trails. I’ve also created brochures, guides, leaflets and a book for Visit Isle of Wight. Other collaborations include managing the press and publicity for the Royal Isle of Wight County Show – attendance soared by 50%. A current project is Let’s Buy Local, an exciting 360 campaign, encouraging Islanders to shop locally.
