Reviews

“Dan is great! It’s always a pleasure working with him on our warm direct mails. He writes such engaging copy that meets objectives as briefed and within deadline. And thanks to his brilliant works for us, we’ve managed to raise valuable unrestricted voluntary income often surpassing targets and versus year-on-year performances.”

Ed Bonsu, Senior Individual Giving Executive, Barnardos

“I worked with Dan on a number of highly successful appeals and newsletters during my time in Barnardo’s Individual Giving team. His many years of experience with the sector mean he does not need to be told the key techniques of fundraising pieces, yet he was also creative and adventurous with his writing too. He is easy to work with: friendly & efficient, responsive to constructive feedback, honest and proactive. I can happily recommend Dan’s services.”

Emma Wright, Development Manager, Voice & Influence team, Barnardos

“I have worked with Dan on major DM appeals and have found him to be an extremely creative copywriter with an awareness of the fine details that can mean the difference between a successful, or not so successful, marketing campaign. Dan’s is great to work with and his writing includes the essentials of the brief, but with a creative flair that makes his writing stand out amongst the competition, and a pleasure to read.”

David Jenks Moschini, Gifts in Wills Manager, RNID 

“I have worked with Dan for a number of years on various projects, and I have found him a pleasure to work with. Whether it’s a fundraising appeal or impact report Dan will always give it his full attention, writing inspiring copy that fulfills the brief, on time and to budget. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking for a reliable and collaborative copywriter.”

David Watson, Brand and Creative manager, Sue Ryder

“The team at Barretstown worked with Daniel for a number of years, on a variety of key fundraising campaigns. Throughout we found Daniel to be creative and responsive. His work has always been of a high standard.” Karen Reid, Campaigns Manager, Barretstown

“I’ve worked with Dan for nearly 20 years on many successful campaigns and projects. He has great ideas in the brainstorming phase, normally nails the first copy draft, writes to word counts, and then makes the amends stage really simple. He naturally seems to know what’s best for the audience and expresses it effectively in the copy. This makes my job as a designer much easier. I would recommend him every time.”

Marcus Duck, designer

“I have worked with Dan for 17 years and have always enjoyed doing so. Dan can be relied upon to: intelligently question the brief; come up with creative and considered concepts: conduct sensitive interviews; write concise, motivational copy that leads the reader through all the elements of the appeal through to a compelling call to action; be on time, on brief and on budget; be professional and courteous at all times. Highly recommended.”
