Frequently Asked Questions

What types of social media content do you create for businesses?

As a content and copywriter, I can provide you with effective social media captions and visuals to suit. Based on your brief and most effective tactic, I will use the right language and tone to create social media content that speaks to your ideal customer. Headlines are my superpower!

Regarding social media visuals, you have a few options, either Canva visuals or infographics, Adobe stock images (paid) or Freepik (free images) or you can use your own to accompany my content. Prices are in the social media section on this page.

Can you design creative ads for magazines and newspapers?

Yes, while honing my skills at a daily newspaper, I discovered I had a keen eye for design and copywriting. I can tap into your customer's persona and determine what would make the most compelling message for your advert.

I prefer to use Canva to design visuals, and I can create print-ready files for one-off adverts or a campaign. I am happy to liaise directly with the publisher should you find it easier to leave it to me.

Can you help with brochure design and copywriting for marketing my business?

Yes, as a copywriter I am able to help you determine the right words and attention-grabbing headlines to promote your products or services. By focusing on the problems you solve for your target audience, I can create promotional material that helps increase customer enquiries.

I also have a flair for design, and with your images (or stock images) I can design an effective brochure that aligns with your branding perfectly (including determining the best layout for each page).

Are printed marketing materials like brochures and flyers still effective today?

A blog by Soap Box Digital Media said that over 80% of consumers trusted printed marketing materials over digital advertisements. So, if done well, they still are an effective marketing strategy.

I can help you determine the most persuasive information and images for your marketing material. With the right strategy and delivery method, you will get a better return on investment. I can work with your chosen printer, or I can recommend one.

What logo design services do you provide, such as branding and rebranding?

I won't lie, I am a lover of fonts and simple, fresh, modern designs. In Canva, I can access a range of elements or use images to create a custom logo to suit your new business (or rebrand). I can trace elements in an image to create a unique logo, like the one I made from a photo of my feet.

Typically, I work with small business owners who don't plan to trademark their logo. If you are unsure if I would be the right person for the job, give me a call to find out. I love flexing my creativity and would be only too happy to help.

Do you offer digital advertising services like Meta or Google Ads?

Currently, my focus is on using my digital content marketing and graphic design skills to market your business. I don't handle Meta or Google Adverts. However, I can create social media visuals, including reels that you can use for marketing your business online.
