Mapping out a freelance copywriting career.

Richie Edmiston, Brand Stylist

First and foremost, thanks for visiting my humble one-person show. It’s fair to say that the road to becoming a freelance copywriter has been a roundabout journey filled with smooth highways, serendipitous intersections and unpredictable potholes. With a marketing degree at the ready, I set out in television and radio promotions, followed by a range of corporate roles as either a marketing or brand manager — sometimes both when called for. Fortunately, a couple of ad agencies also appeared in the career headlights, and it was here that the creative GPS was reset, with the pin firmly placed on a dedicated copywriting destination.

This integrated media, marketing and advertising background has equipped me with a well-rounded approach when writing strategic copy crafted to connect with audiences while helping generate all-important leads and conversions. After eight years on the Brand Stylist journey, I’ve written for over 110 companies, from disruptive start-ups to renowned multinationals, each receiving the same creative commitment, whatever the scope and budget. Head over here to see a list of clients I’ve had the privilege of working with. See Copy Catalogue

Richie Edmiston — Director.
