Created with passion and told with integrity .

Some of the stories told so far

YOU WANT TO BE:

Meaningful. Thoughtful. Relevant. Brave. Conscious. Respectful. Exciting. Captivating. Insightful. Intentional. Soulful. Expert. Knowledgeable. Creative. Stylish. Dynamic. Relatable. Intuitive.

Your successful brand is more than a logo, more than a product or service; it's a relationship between you and your audience.

Words have the power to capture your intention, articulate your values, share your insight...bond with your customer and create a conversation.

Tell your story. You have the ideas, the fire in your belly…

Your voice should be heard.

Capturing beauty and inspiration in every word.

Hello there! It’s so great to meet you…

I’m Felicity, or Fee...I’ll answer to both so feel free to use either!

So, you're here because you know what you want to say, you know your story better than anyone...but you're stuck.

Perhaps you have products that you have poured your heart and soul into, but you're struggling to distill that on pack, you want to be part of a conversation, you have education to share...you have something to say. But the right words escape you.

That's why I'm here to work with you, to listen, to capture the heart of what you want to say.

I want to write your story; I want to find the words that give you butterflies. 

After years in Product Development, I believe that gives me unique empathy to work with beauty founders, plus a commercial understanding to ensure copy connects .

Building a brand can feel overwhelming at times. Everyone wants to know what makes you different.

Think of me as part of your team...there to help clarify your vision, calm the storm in your head. 

Let’s build relationships, create confidence in your brand, engage your audience and share your story.

Together, let’s craft your words, write your story...find your voice.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

It's noisy out there. It's hard to be heard. But words can be magic. Words matter to me. I believe that what sets you apart is your story and how you tell it.

So, whether you're a start-up or an established brand, telling the story of a product or service, your journey as a founder, looking to create a ground up concept...a name...some education...a rethink...a redirection...adding layers to your brand's conversation...oh I could go on!

This is what I do. Finding your story, finding the essence of who you are, what you represent...that's what makes me tick.
Let me help.
