Thoughtful things my clients have said…

  • Close-up of the Gothic-style, stone cathedral with tall towers against a blue sky.

    “We engaged Ellie to refresh the written copy we use in the Fundraising Department. She listened carefully to what we needed, picked up on the Cathedral tone and helped us speak in a refreshed voice.”

    - HANNAH WILCOX, ELY CATHEDRAL

  • Close-up of a smiling, middle-aged man with a bald head, wearing a suit and tie, against a plain background.

    “It can be challenging to convey a complex enterprise product in simple terms. Ellie instantly understood what we needed, and she quickly turned our existing ‘word-fest’ into a simple, concise story. Feedback from our team and various stakeholders has been that Ellie’s work is 100% on-the-mark.”

    - SEAN WILSON, SIMSAGE

  • Close-up of a man smiling outdoors with a waterfall in the background

    “Ellie has added real clarity and consistency to how we present Cambridgeshire Outdoors. She worked closely with our team to understand the breadth of our offer and helped translate this into clear, engaging content that reflects our purpose and impact.”

    - DANIEL PLAYFORD, CAMBRIDGESHIRE OUTDOORS

  • Woman with long brown hair wearing black clothing, crouching against a plain white background.

    “Ellie has a real talent for taking ideas, values and messages and transforming them into clear, engaging and authentic copy. She quickly understood my business, my audience, and the tone I wanted to achieve, creating content that aligned with my brand while elevating it to a more professional and polished level.”

    - NATASHA KING, STYLED

  • A man with a beard smiling, wearing a black jacket with a red zipper, against a dark background.
