Selected work

Legal and recruitment

Research-led writing for JMC Legal Recruitment on law, lawyers and the changing legal market.

Travel and hospitality

Travel copy that finds the character of a place and makes readers wish they were there.

The brief starts with search intent and keyword research. The writing gives readers somewhere to go: Finland’s lakeside summers, London’s literary corners or a birthday escape by train. Local detail brings each place to life. Practical advice helps turn interest into a plan.

Specialist businesses

Copy that gets to grips with your business and gives people a reason to choose it.

Notes from the Studio

On words, websites and how they work together.

Is your website using its posh telephone voice?

Most website projects start with the wrong question.

In their words

Despite high volume and quick turnarounds, Jo’s work is always top quality and delivered ahead of schedule.

You just got me and you found my voice! I don’t know how you do it, but it’s spot on.
