The Copysmith

I’m very confident with the written word and would never have thought of using a copywriter to help with my promotional literature until I met Kim from The Copysmith.

Kim is so enthusiastic, so full of energy and ideas, and so passionate about what she does, that I realised she would be the person to inject some excitement into my jaded marketing. What I don’t have is the knowledge, experience and creative edge to know what will grab the market’s attention and sell my photography over and above my competitors.

All of this Kim clearly has in abundance.

I was particularly impressed with the questions Kim asked when we discussed what I was looking for. My imagery is very personal, emotive and expressive; Kim asked me how I wanted the reader to feel, for example when they looked at each page, and I even found myself explaining how I felt when I took the pictures and what was my vision at the time. Kim took my thoughts and put them on paper, absolutely expressing the essence of my photography and what sets me apart from the others, in a unique and vibrant way.

Kim is such a lovely person to work with, and so visibly involved in her projects, that she’s hard to resist; so don’t try – book The Copysmith for your words today.

Walking home from pubs while it’s still light. Soaking up the sun after work. Daffodils, blue skies and a jog up the river.

Well maybe not quite.

With the clocks an hour forward, our clients in Europe and the Middle East will be glad to know we’re just that much closer to your time zone.

Musicians are brands. And blogging for any brand needs to be focussed and well-written.

We’re often asked to write monthly articles or blogs for our clients’ websites. We just ask for the key-points that need to be covered and what the copy should achieve in the heart/mind of the reader. It’s a simple process from there, which frees up business-owners’ time and gives their brands that rock star edge.

Pulteney Bridge, Bath

6 Fountain House was getting a bit cramped, so The Copysmith has moved. We bid farewell to views of greener pastures for, well, greener pastures.

We’re at 5 Argyle Street now (although the street is curiously marked “Grove Street”, as our first visitor pointed out). The building we’re in used to be a library and it stands on Pulteney Bridge. According to history geeks it’s one of the most beautiful bridges in the world and is often compared to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence (it’s also one of those rare historic bridges with shops built in).

Well here we are – on the second floor, amid the pigeons, above Oxfam and some great bars and restaurants. We’d love to have you pop by for a shop, a bite or a natter:

We worked with photographer Jean Leprini on this ad for Philip Morris.

We assisted Brand Union in writing and compiling Mubadala’s communication guidance. Other guidelines that we’ve worked on have been Nokia Online Guidelines and Nokia Wiki online Guidelines for Interone Worldwide.

We worked closely with Brand Union on a corporate book for Saudi giant Al Hokair. Al Hokair represents over forty major labels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including GAP, Dorothy Perkins, La Senza, Monsoon and Accessorize.

The board wanted a book that captured the essence of their business and would break through the notoriously dull world of corporate literature.

We wrote magazine-style articles from high level documents and reports resulting in a slick, chic 180 page corporate book with the compelling feel of a glossy editorial.
