About Pete

I’m a freelance copywriter and content designer. I started writing professionally in 2006 and since then I’ve written for plenty of household-name brands – Morrisons, LV=, RIBA and plenty more.

I’ve always started each piece of work with three questions: who’s your reader? What’s the outcome you want to happen after they’ve read it? And what’s the right content to achieve that?

They’re simple questions but you can’t create great communications without the answers. I’ve taught this approach for years in writer training and tone of voice workshops. I also use it as the foundation for more technical projects and to inform my approach to content design.
