James Blake

Senior Copywriter

United Kingdom

Hi there!

I am an award-winning creative copywriter, storyteller and journalist with more than 25 years' experience.

I've worked in the corporate and charity sectors in internal and external comms writing new media, animation, video scripts, long copy, corporate narratives, brand launches, redesigns, and more. I'm an editor and proofreader, too.

I'm skilled at creating engaging, positive concepts that cut through, keep things simple, and deliver brilliant results!

Working with some fabulous clients and people, I’ve created copy, content and concepts for organisations including Channel 4, MTV, Channel 5, Rolls Royce, The Civil Aviation Authority, Imperial College Health Partners, Cats Protection, Crisis, The National Deaf Children's Society, Cadent, Bauer Media, Southern CO-OP, the Met Police and more.

"It was a pleasure working with James, fantastic copy and so many exciting angles for further ideas – a creative's dream partner! Can't wait for our next collaboration!"
