About Me

I’m Jen, a senior freelance copywriter and content manager with almost 15 years' experience in creating bespoke content and SEO copy for a wide variety of high-profile brands – Charlotte Tilbury, Robinson Pelham and OCEANSAPART, to name a few.

Since 2017, I've had a long-term freelance contract for the fintech scale-up TransferGo, working on everything from campaign copy and LinkedIn employer branding to B2B blog posts and how-to guides for migrants settling into a new country. For the past two and a half years, my core focus at TransferGo has been on content management and localisation in 12+ languages across multiple websites.

I'm also currently working closely with a leading travel website, penning a variety of brand and product pages using best SEO practices to improve rankings and visibility.

Early days

My writing career began in 2009, when I acquired a First Class degree in BA (Hons) Fashion Journalism (Print). During my studies, I founded Film Fatale magazine, a limited publication spotlighting female talent in film. As Editor, I covered the inaugural Sundance London film festival, wrote tens of film reviews for View London, attended red carpets as press and interviewed leading industry talent.

Not long after graduating, I began freelance copywriting and quickly acquired a strong client base, working on projects for the likes of Clare’s Accessories, Next and Littlewoods. I then worked in-house for two years at Wayfair UK as Assistant Manager of Copywriting and later, UK Editor, travelling to Berlin regularly to collaborate and align with Wayfair's French and German Content teams. 

Freelancing

In April 2016, I made the bold move to head back to the North East to return to the exciting world of freelancing. Now based in Gosforth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, I work as an SEO copywriter and content manager, creating tailored SEO copy, creative content and social media strategies for leading fashion, travel and tech brands, including TransferGo and Weather2Travel. 

In my spare time, I like to switch off and re-centre so that I’m fully charged for the working week. This usually involves lots of reading, yoga or pilates, walks on the beach, a good movie and lots of quality time with my two young children.
