About Linda Ram
Hi, I’m Linda.
I’m a communications consultant and freelance copywriter based in the Midlands.
With a background in journalism and corporate communications, I help businesses and organisations create the messages that will resonate with their audiences.
Stand out from the crowd, win people over and get new customers through engaging and interesting content that builds your online presence and raises your profile.
I am available for freelance and contract work to help you achieve your goals.
I started my training as a journalist with a local newspaper and quickly worked my way up to Group News Editor of a busy Midlands newspaper company. As such it was my job to decide what news made it into print – and what was filed directly in the bin.
Competition for space is fierce, but I was amazed at the amount of so-called press releases which just didn’t cut the mustard. Because I have the inside track on what the media industry is looking for, I feel I have a lot to offer businesses out there – especially those without huge budgets for full-scale round-the-clock marketing support.
Professional Copy Creation has now been successfully supporting businesses with their PR, marketing, copywriting and proofreading needs for a number of years and is a regular contributor to various news websites and print publications.
How I can help you
I offer a range of services to help you raise your profile, from fresh and engaging website content, to ongoing copywriting and marketing support to keep you ahead of the game.
Website
Many business owners are fantastic at what they do but are not sure how to get it across in the most concise way. I provide engaging copy for your website to give potential customers the best possible first impression of your business.
Whether you have an idea of what you want and need it putting into words, or haven’t got a clue where to start, I will literally get inside your brain (it’s freakish really!). I can visit you at your place of work and will take the time to understand your company, vision and ethos so that I can truly sing your praises through the written word.
If you need a website building from scratch, I can work with my partner organisations to come up with the perfect site to meet your needs.
PR & Comms Strategies
If you’re ready to take things to the next level and want to be putting your company message out there consistently, just give me a shout. With both press office and communications experience, Professional Copy Creation can offer ongoing support with campaigns targeted where they will have the greatest impact for your business. Monthly fees will be arranged depending on the level of support you require.
Through a close working relationship, I’ll help you identify newsworthy topics and opportunities for exposure that will get you noticed in the relevant circles.
I can also help you manage press relations if you have a tricky issue coming up that you’re not sure how to deal with, or you just don’t have the time for.
Press Releases
Want to get in the news but don’t have thousands of pounds to spend on advertising? Do you always see your competitors in the news and wonder how they do it? I can provide press releases, written to order, on a pay as you go basis to help you get noticed. Using an extensive database of regional and industry media contacts, and using my journalism experience, I will make sure your news is perfectly pitched to give it maximum chance of exposure.
I’ll also review your company and current marketing/advertising strategies with a view to helping you identify opportunities that will drum up interest in your business via newspapers, industry publications and social media.
Blogs
We are constantly bombarded with information about SEO and the importance of maximising your website for search purposes. One of the key elements of this is providing relevant and informative content that can be picked up by Google. Providing a regular blog on your website is a great way to do this. I offer a variety of packages, starting from £100 per blog post.
Regularly updated website content of this nature will set you apart as a busy and proactive company while establishing you as a credible voice of authority in your field.
Engagement
Need to tell lots of people really complicated and maybe even sensitive information? I’ve run several consultation and engagement campaigns, including stakeholder mapping and multi-channel communications methods. Don’t worry, we’ll seek out even those hardest to reach audiences.
Copywriting & Proofreading
If you want all the wording that goes out in connection with your business to shine, look no further.
I have extensive experience writing copy for a range of purposes in a variety of styles. From the most technical support blog to an informal company newsletter, I’ll make sure your message is perfectly tailored to your target audience.
Theirs nuthin werse than a homePae litered with speling mistakes and gramatical errors. Nothing is more off putting than a badly-written website, leaflet or company brochure and it could cause you to miss out to the competition. We offer a full proofreading service and can cast a beady eye over your website or literature.
Crisis Communications
Got a tricky issue coming up? Want to get all your ducks in a row so the message can be rolled out as smoothly as possible? Preparation is key. I’ll help develop key messages and a plan for who to tell what, and when. Half the time, the problem is in the delivery rather than the message itself.
Event reporting
Got a big event coming up such as a company awards evening or fundraising day? We can provide on-the-scene reporting and photography to give your special day the full red carpet treatment. This service includes write-ups for your company newsletter or the media.
Corporate Comms
I spent five years managing the busy press office and corporate communications team at a local government authority. This included issuing press releases, managing media enquiries and responses and crisis communications.
I devised countless creative multi-channel communications campaigns to promote things like town centre regeneration, a castle, history and culture, a theatre, food & drink trail, Covid information, financial challenges and more.
