Promotional emails - singly or as part of a planned campaign

Press releases - to announce new products or significant company news

Blog posts - to build a ubiquitous and ongoing presence

A copywriting service that's focused, accurate, and cost-effective - yet easy for you to use
CharigAssociates
Whether you're considering a complete content marketing campaign, or would like to test my service with a single blog post, I'm very happy to help!
I simply charge by the hour, with no commitment to a contract needed.
Introduction: Whatever your interest, we can start with a brief phone call or Teams meeting, so you can describe your objectives, and I can advise on if and how I believe I could help.
I follow this conversation up with a proposal based on my current understanding of your requirements.
Detailed plan: If this is of interest to you, we can set up a more detailed meeting involving your project's key technical, marketing and commercial stakeholders, allowing me to obtain the information I need, while giving you a clearer insight into the approach I would take and the content I would generate.
Fulfilling the requirement: After this, I can start work if the requirement is simple, or prepare a more detailed project plan or document wireframe, and possibly a revised quotation, as appropriate.
Subject to your approval, I prepare the first draft. I usually allow for a couple of editing iterations to ensure that you receive exactly the content that you want, with all the correct messages to your audience.
If you would like to know more about my technical copywriting and content marketing service, or how I could help convert your ideas into compelling content, please fill in the form below.
