Antony Alton - Manchester Freelance CopywriterI'm a freelance creative copywriter based in Manchester with over 18 years experience working in the advertising, digital and design industries. Creative because I understand what makes a good idea, from big campaign thoughts to a single execution for an ad. Copywriter because I also write copy, web content, TV and radio scripts and anything else that requires words to work. I've worked on a permanent and freelance basis for many of the well-known names in Manchester, but I'm also employed by smaller advertising and digital agencies on a wide variety of projects and briefs. I'm currently based in the Northern Quarter of Manchester city centre, busy writing copy and developing concepts for clients such as The Cooperative, Swinton Insurance and smile internet banking. That's in between blogging (click to read), emitting tweets (click to follow me) In the meantime, please contact me on 0774 070 4310 or email: tony@antonyalton.com New website coming soon |
So what's this freelance copywriter thing all about?IdeasGet the thinking right from the start and the rest, as they say, will follow. I provide original creative thoughts that will answer your brief and can be applied across whatever media will work; whether it’s a digital marketing campaign, viral film, emails, press ads, DM packs or an iPhone App. In fact, I’ve been working at the sharp end of a marker for over 18 years for agencies and direct clients in and around Manchester. During which time I’ve gained invaluable experience developing creative solutions for all of the above to create a portfolio that's bursting with ideas. ContentI’m more than happy turning my hand to long copy, short copy and all sizes of copy in between. More and more clients are asking me to migrate their existing brochure or catalogue copy into a web-friendly form and weaving in those all-important SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) keywords. I’m also currently involved in a couple of very interesting social marketing projects for clients to make use of twitter, blogging and the latest methods of getting people talking about your products or services. Where I workI’m based on Edge St in the Northern Quarter of Manchester city centre, so I’m pretty much within a trilby hat’s throw of most of the city’s creative shops. Although I’m more than happy to travel to work at your premises in the North West to get the job done, whether it’s cracking a concept, crafting copy or creating a new direction for your campaigns. Who I work withOver the years I've assembled a crack team of freelance art directors, designers and masters of the digital arts that I can call on to turn virtually any idea into reality. Current clients I'm working with as a copywriter include: The Cooperative, Swinton Insurance, Citizen's Advice Bureau and smile online banking. Where I've workedAfter cutting my creative teeth as a copywriter at JWT in Manchester, I went on to work at BDH Manchester and TBWA Manchester as a creative copywriter. I've been working as a freelance copywriter for the last 4 years. Manchester Freelance Copywriter Blog _ Manchester Freelance Copywriter Twitter _ Manchester Freelance Copywriter Email |
