In The Media

Social Media Writing

Most companies and individuals know that social media is effective in bolstering their brands, but how do you go about this, and what do you tweet or Facebook about? I can advise how best to manage your social media – what platforms you should be using, what to say, how to say it, how to bolster your brand, how to monitor feedback, and how to act like a customer care.

Tanya loves chatting, and will write content – from updating Twitter and Facebook, to conversing with friends and followers, and blogging. What’s more, she’ll jump in if customers have a question, and manage your reputation (ie let you know if someone is saying something good or bad about your product).

Editing

There is nothing less professional than copy that has grammar or spelling errors, and it’s damaging to a product or brand when you don’t know where to put your commas, apostrophes and hyphens. Tanya is a stickler when it comes to spelling, grammar and things sounding “right”, and will ensure your words and copy are accurate and convey the right tone. Tanya is available for editing and proofreading.

Copywriting

Tanya’s role as copywriter spans everything from magazine articles and brochures to company newsletters and blog posts. Tanya can write short copy, long copy, can generate it from scratch, or make your words sound better. She can write ads, internal communication, stories, slogans and headlines. She’ll find the words to match your product and your audience, and generate the best response, and will wow, woo, convince, inform, educate or entertain.

Website Copy

Your website acts as an ad and information source, so copy needs to be sharp and enlightening. Tanya can write your website copy from scratch, edit it, and add regular content as you need it. She’ll tailor it to your needs and your target market, and using SEO (search engine optimisation), can get your website to the top of Google searches relating to your business and field.
