Freelance senior copywriter, journalist and communications consultant in Brighton

Emily Bratt

I’m a creative copywriter, communications consultant and independent journalist based in Brighton (and often several other places), working with agencies, SMEs, non-profits and big corporates across the UK and beyond.

I help organisations and individuals find the right words, whether that’s shaping a clear brand voice, creating (winning) award entries, writing SEO-friendly web copy or developing effective communications strategies. My work spans short-form creative ad copy and campaign messaging through to long-form journalism, interviews and research-led thought leadership pieces.

Communications consultancy

I offer communications guidance for those in need of more joined-up, strategic storytelling. That can mean content planning and messaging frameworks as well as directing the overall communications strategy and advising on tone and positioning.

I can advise on media and external communications, including how to present and develop timely stories, engage effectively with press and navigate the expectations of different publications in a way that strengthens reputation.

Copywriting

For more hands-on, immediate copywriting support, I can deliver newsletters, email campaigns, press releases, blogs and ongoing content marketing. I’ve worked across both for-profit and non-profit sectors, translating complex ideas into clear, engaging language that builds trust and drives action.

Journalism

As a journalist, I have bylines in The Guardian, Evening Standard, Cotswold Life and Fit & Well. I’m adept at interviewing experts, leaders and community groups and my journalistic background informs everything I do: I believe in writing credible, evidence-led copy, articles, reports and case studies.

Get in touch

Whether you need support on a one-off project or a long-term communications partner, I work collaboratively, ask the right questions and deliver thoughtful, effective copy with a sharp editorial eye.
