Content-led growth from startups to FTSE 100 brands
Here’s a snapshot of some of the projects I’ve worked on:
Ovum / Informa
Ovum is the digital and technology arm of Informa, a FTSE 100 business intelligence company.
The marketing team at Ovum wanted a writer to create a suite of shorter, snappier articles based on more detailed reports on technology trends.
The idea was to generate interest and engagement among Ovum’s audience around the company’s presence at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
I wrote the articles, together with web content and associated social posts. The campaign led to an increase in the number of site visits and leads, as well as a large number of downloads of the content which was gated behind a sign-up form.
Donkey Republic
Donkey Republic is a Copenhagen-based global bike rental startup. They have bikes in cities around the world which can be unlocked via an app.
I worked with Donkey Republic to define their typical user. Then I came up with an idea to inspire travellers who wanted to see more hidden, undiscovered places.
I wrote a series of bike-tour guides of Barcelona and London. They were shared widely on Donkey Republic’s social channels, leading to increased awareness of the bikes among visitors to these cities.
Little Concert / Airbnb
Little Concert is a trusted community marketplace for people and businesses to discover and book local musicians for any occasion and location.
They teamed up with Airbnb to launch a series of concerts as part of the Mayor of London’s exciting Sounds Like London campaign.
With a dozen talented female acts lined up, Little Concert needed a writer to create engaging short copy to promote these unique concerts from the artists’ perspective as hosts of the events.
The strategy was incredibly successful, with high levels of audience engagement with the content I wrote and sold out shows across London.
