Work with me

I will grow awareness of your brand and enable you to reach more people. Social media is a critical tool to use well if you want to get the word out about your business and really connect and engage with your customers. But it has to be done right - in a strategic, creative and expertly-written way. My background in online marketing, journalism and copywriting makes me an expert listener and communicator, ideal tools to employ in the social media landscape. 

By listening closely and learning what your business values and aspirations are, I work out which platforms you should be focussing on and who you should be talking to, and how best to reach your target audience in the most effective way.

I will ensure you have the correct tone of voice and the right words on your social channels. I will enable you to reach bigger audiences, engage with them and connect with the best influencers. There's nothing more important than making sure your message is being communicated in the clearest and most succinct way, with strategic purpose and insight. 

No time to do your own social media plan? Let me do the legwork for you and bring your social channels to life with creative vision and perfectly judged copy.

about me

 

Hello! My name is Anne Richardson and I'm a consultant editor, copywriter and social media strategist who is absolutely passionate about food and food writing. I'm also an Instagram obsessive - I just can't stop photographing food and talking to people about it. I've been a journalist and a copywriter for over 16 years, and have worked at Channel 4, BBC, The Guardian and many other high-profile brands and agencies. I decided to specialise in social media strategy seeing as copywriting and tone of voice are so critical to how social media works, and I enjoy all the conversations that happen through it. I love how you can use language and imagery in creative ways to reach different communities and demographics. 

Whether you need a helping hand with your social media output or want your website copy revamped, I can help. I'm just as comfortable writing for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as I am crafting long-form journalistic articles and blogs. I can help pinpoint the most suitable tone of voice for you to use when communicating with your audience and suggest the best content strategy to be using with your social media plan. I've written about all manner of lifestyle topics - from health to travel, entertainment to dining out and recipes. 

I'm always interested in working with new companies, agencies and brands. Especially any that produce fine organic chocolate and coffee! 
Do get in touch.

Here are some examples of my work:

The Guardian: feature on Southampton
