A Question of Trust
Back in January, I sent an email to 200 people asking them to pay me £200. Don’t worry. It wasn’t a scam. I could never claim to be a Nigerian prince.

603 Copywriting is Changing
2019 was a huge year behind the scenes at 603 Copywriting. Lots happened. I started a new partnership with two of Manchester’s other leading freelance copywriters. We took on the challenge of bringing a new marketing conference to the North of England (and succeeded). And I kept most of it quiet from you, 603 Copywriting’s customers.
Taking Aim at the Festive Adverts, Again, Again.
Christmas already? You know the drill. I put over a decade’s worth of experience to work doing a professional analysis of the formulaic gong-bait churned out by agencies to get Twitter clicks and YouTube likes.

No, the kind of cartoon wrestling where giant sweaty men spend as much time yelling into microphones as they do not actually […]
What Your Business Should Learn from the Last Good World Cup
The World Cup starts tomorrow. It’s a thriller. Russia vs Saudi Arabia at 4pm. Even worse, it’s on ITV. If you’re a sensible businessperson, you won’t be bunking off early to watch the silky skills of Taisir al-Jassim and Alexsandr Samedov. Because you’ll know that it’s been 20 years since the last good World Cup. […]
Three Ways to Revitalise Your Emails in a Post GDPR World
GDPR has happened and we’re all still here. There’s been plenty of fretting over the smaller email lists we’ve all been left to deal with, but so far only a handful of companies have fled in terror from email marketing as a concept.
