When I’m not wrangling with fictional characters, I’m working as a contract communications manager, copywriter and freelance features writer. Clients include charities, authors, artists and businesses.

I produce and manage implementation of content strategies, write and edit a wide-range of content, produce newsletters, populate websites, advise on branding, and launch or revitalise social media channels.

This includes producing engaging targeted copy for consumer magazines and B2B titles as well as digital content, newsletters, brochures, press releases and social media copy, primarily aimed at boosting brand loyalty and inspiring readers to try something new.

In addition, I work as a creative consultant specialising in climate crisis messaging. Every feature, blog post, newsletter and social media shout-out you publish can make a difference. Ask me for details of how you can integrate this impetus seamlessly across every element of your business.

If that sounds like something that could help you, drop a line to judydarley@icloud.com

These are just a selection of the many consumer and b2c pieces I have written. Click on the images to view the full pdfs.

I wrote this feature for local glossy magazine Bristol Life to promote my short fiction collection The Stairs Are a Snowcapped Mountain.

I write regular ‘Good Read’ features for craft, lifestyle and mindfulness magazines, including this eco-crafting feature for Simply Crochet magazine.

This news story was written as a blog post for an SAAS client as part of an integrated marketing campaign.

I wrote the above news story about self-invested personal pensions for a finance client.

During my time as Communications Manager for Brunel Pension Partnership Ltd, I ghost-wrote countless features about responsible investment and the investments industry. This piece about what we can do to encourage young girls’ to pursue their passion for STEM subjects is one of the pieces closest to my heart.

I’ve written for Simply Sewing magazine since the titles launch in 2015, utilising my natural curiosity about people and their passions to unearth interesting and inspiring angles.

I wrote The Big Blue about The Azores’ whale-hunting industry transitioning to the far more eco-friendly whale-watching tourism for A Year In Portugal journal.

This is one of several pieces I wrote for Mollie Makes magazine. The title has a lively, chatty, knowledgable tone and a contemporary viewpoint on the creative crafting world.

I’m often commissioned by craft and lifestyle titles to seek out contemporary practitioners on Instagram to interview and profile. This profile feature was published by CrossStitcher magazine, celebrating an artist who combines her love of embroidery and hiking.

AXA commissioned this feature for their b2c magazine. It looks at ways to tackle loneliness through online clubs.
