Ben Hayes

I write for brands who want to sell, educate, and convert. As a freelance copywriter, I work with Founders, Heads of Marketing, and agencies. Some on a project basis. Some on an ongoing one. The majority of my work fits into one of four areas: brand positioning, messaging frameworks, tone of voice, and creative campaigns. “There are a lot of good copywriters but exceptional ones are few and far between and Ben definitely fits in that category. I’d be lost without him!” - Louise Hudson, Head of Marketing at Birch. In previous roles: - I ran the marketing function of Startupbootcamp's flagship IoT program and led the development of the startups within each program - I sat on the Board at entertainment communications agency DDA as Chief Innovation Officer - I was formerly MD at social media agency Born Social

  Advice on funding

  Through my time at Startupbootcamp and Grasp I've helped startups prepare their investor and pitch decks. This includes support on the story being told throughout, the structure of the deck, and how to present it live.

  Content marketing

  I write words for a lot of different companies. Websites, newsletters, press releases, blog posts... If you want advice on what content to write, how to write it, and ways to get it seen, then call me maybe.

  Email marketing

  I write both company and founder newsletters, whether they are for brand building or sales. Email subject lines get me excited. Emojis in them don't.

  Mailchimp

  17 years of experience

  I use Mailchimp for all company campaigns I run, so hopefully know a thing or 2 about it. This include email automations, CRM activities, and Founder newsletters.
