Bursting with personality and character…
We couldn’t be more pleased with the creative content that Jonathan expertly crafted for our website. Jonathan understood our brief and tone, delivering an original and engaging piece of work bursting with personality and character. Its been our privilege and look forward to working more in the future.
Robert Mills – Director, Unless Studios
Great, skilful work…
We used Jonathan for his copywriting abilities, and after throwing a haphazard pile of notes and random documents at him, the clear and concise writing we got back was a relief. Great, skilful work. He’s got my highest recommendation.
Matt Molloy – Co-Founder, For Sure Studio
A whole new level…
I am so thrilled with how you’ve helped us find our voice. Our new website, brochure and everything else you’ve worked on are outstanding. After 20 years, we needed a fresh approach to the way we talk about ourselves and this takes Mountgrange to a whole new level. You should be really proud – I know we all are.
Liz Thomson – Director, Mountgrange Heritage
Above and beyond…
Jonathan is a very talented copywriter. No task is too big or small, and he is incredibly catering to the needs of our business. He is extremely punctual and really goes above and beyond for the marketing team here at MCM. We would 100% recommend his services!
Sarah Rose – Marketing Manager, MCM Architecture
Positive, approachable and very easy going…
You have really taken the time to listen to us, our company story and understood what we aimed to achieve. Furthermore we’re excited and thrilled with the result and think it will really add to how we present and market ourselves. I think you taking the time to understand our business also reflects in the end result with our positioning. You have been positive, approachable and very easy going. I would be happy to work with you again in the future as well as recommend your services.

Incredible writer…
Jonathan is an absolute delight to work with. He’s an incredible writer with great knowledge on varying topics. The whole process was seamless which is testament not only to his fantastic skill but also to how organised, efficient and professional he is.
Kathleen Arthurs – Project Manager, Six Two Design
Bloody lovely…
I have worked with Jonathan as both a colleague and a client over the years and have enjoyed every second of our interaction. Not only is he highly creative, giving original thought to everything he does, but he’s also bloody lovely and approaches briefs with a balanced and genuine interest. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest that you engage him on whatever project you’re working on, right now. You won’t be disappointed.
Helen Banyard – Director, Zest the Agency
Worked together for years…
Jonathan is never short of ideas, words or scribbles. He’s versatile and happy creating for any media, client or brand. We’ve worked together for years and I’ve still not managed to break him. Thoroughly nice chap – highly recommended.
Jason Hunt – Designer, See Think Do
Creative integrity…
I have worked alongside Jonathan on a number of occasions and have always been impressed by his disciplined thinking and creative integrity. As both a writer and art director his approach to any problem is refreshingly innovative yet always professional and pragmatic.
John Bayley – Creative Director, Rodgers & Rodgers
Thoroughly effective…
Animal Aid has worked with Jonathan many times over the last decade and credits him with being part of the team that put together one of our most successful films (The Dark Side of Horse Racing). Simple, yet thoroughly effective, the film stands as one of our most useful campaign tools.
Fiona Pereira – Campaign Manager, Animal Aid
Strong conceptually…
To be honest you blew the whole team away. Idea after idea and every one bang on brief. It’s rare that I come across someone who’s as strong conceptually as they are good with writing. Looking forward to our next project together.
Sarah Champneys – Freelance Account Director
Made life much simpler…
Jonathan was brilliant to work with and got his head round our complex brief in lightning speed. Anthony Nolan is not a simple charity to take in, but Jonathan took on all the information and asked all the right questions to get to the heart of what we needed. He made life much simpler, which isn’t always a guarantee when briefing someone new! His ideas were fresh and varied, and he has brought our project to life.
Anya Muir Wood – Senior Copywriter, Anthony Nolan
Sharp and fresh…
Jonathan is a pleasure to work with. He gets his head around the trickiest of briefs really quickly and his thinking is sharp and fresh. We’ve used him for creative concepts and his copywriting skills, and have never been disappointed.
Kate Page – Creative Director, Page & Page
He gets results…
Jonathan is that rare thing – a highly creative person who knows how to focus his imagination and get under the skin of the problem at hand. It also helps that he genuinely does combine an art director’s eye with a copywriter’s fluency. That’s why he gets results. If I were a client I’d want him on my side.
Peter White – Creative Director previously at Dorland, JWT, Leo Burnett, Butler Dennis Garland and Slaymaker Cowley White
Great ideas…
Jonathan is a talented creative writer and all round lovely chap. He takes time to understand the brief, isn’t afraid to ask questions and contributes great ideas. He pulls out all the stops and always delivers to an excellent standard. Top qualities? Great results, personable and high integrity.
Rob Ryan – Experience Director & Founder, Rabbit & Hare
Understood exactly what was needed…
We needed a strapline that summed up the essence of the brand, a tone of voice defined and complete website copy overhaul. You understood exactly what was needed and I have a very very happy client. Really couldn’t have asked for more – looking forward to working together again soon.
Steve Glew – Creative Director, Black Bug Creative
A bit of magic…
I’ve worked with Jonathan for 10 years or more as both client and creative collaborator. If you’re looking for campaign concepts, copywriting, art direction or creative direction, he always brings a bit of magic to the table. And he’s a great guy as well, with no ego getting in the way…!
Paul Davidson – Director, Vertical Productions
Flexible, creative and calm…
Jonathan is one of those rare animals who is good at most things he does. A great asset when you’re up against it – flexible, creative and calm. He’s always a great guy to have on your side.
Peter Dobie – Creative Services Director, Designhouse
Can always be relied on…
We have worked with Jonathan for some time now on a number of projects and from the big idea to creating and managing whole campaigns he can always be relied on to deliver.
Dominic Rodgers – Director, Rodgers and Rodgers
Innovative solutions…
Church Urban Fund has worked closely with Jonathan on a range of integrated fundraising campaigns and a major rebrand. We have always been impressed by his creative input and innovative solutions. He is a great guy to work with and really “gets” things to provide effective results.
Jeremy Aspinall – Director of Fundraising & Communications, Church Urban Fund
A critical eye for detail…
I worked with Jonathan for several years during my time with Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing. Jonathan produced monthly commerce and weekly tourism newsletters and was in charge of the creative, editing and other aspects related to the readership. He had a critical eye for detail and constantly recommended subject matters and images that would increase popularity and visits to our website. He was totally dedicated to delivering a professional service and we liked him so much that we invited him for a visit to Dubai. We also enjoyed his monthly visits to our office for brain storming sessions. Jonathan and I are now pursuing different paths with our careers but I surely miss working with him a great deal.
Fayha Sulta – UAE Business Consultant, formerly Commerce Marketing Manager, Government of Dubai, Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing
A fantastic job…
I have worked with Jonathan across a variety of projects including whitepapers, flyers, exhibition stands, infographics and animations. He has always done a fantastic job in terms of interpreting the brief, communicating at each stage, managing timelines and delivering an end product that we can be really proud of. A pleasure to work with!
Michelle Kelly – Marketing Director, EPG Health Media
Skilled copy writing…
Jonathan really ‘gets’ what we’re trying to do and say as a charity – at times better than I do myself! This, combined with his creative direction, skilled copy writing and sensitive understanding of the best way to communicate with our supporter base, has established a vibrant and appealing campaign.
Holly Adams – Fundraising Events Manager, Church Urban Fund
Asking searching questions…
Jonathan helped us at the very beginning of our process by pulling together our brief, asking searching questions and coming up with a brand position and identity, which will underpin everything we do going forward. A pleasure to work with.
Alan Fox – Director, Celplas PVC Limited
Cheeky sense of humour…
Jonathan provides a great service to no-leftovers.com He produces entertaining social media posts, has a cheeky sense of humour and most importantly gets results.
Paul Thompson – Director, No-Leftovers.com
Exactly what I want from a creative copywriter…
Lovely guy, very responsive and really great results. I’ve worked with Jonathan before and will work with him again. This is exactly what I want from a creative copywriter; right on brand, compelling, full of character and energy and getting the results that we want. We needed a fresh set of eyes on this one, and got a great result very quickly.
Ian Thwaites – CEO Founder, Level Water
He knows his stuff…
Definitely recommend! Jonathan has been brilliant. We needed help for our new website – it just wasn’t moving forward and it was our content that was the block. Enter Jonathan. He knows his stuff and immediately recognised our points of pain. We did some background work first to find our “tone of voice” which was really helpful, not just for the website because it has already found its way into some of our emails and other materials. New website is coming soon and really looking forward to how that is viewed by both new visitors (prospective customers) and old users alike. Wish we’d taken this step a year earlier!.
Dan Wardle – Director, Surveylab Limited
I can’t recommend him highly enough
We’ve worked with So, What if… on a number of projects, but most recently for our own website. As a design agency it’s tough to be objective when working on our own promotion, but Jonathan was able to coax out of me exactly what we wanted to say but had been unable to form into words. From that he developed a boilerplate and tone of voice, and finally the full copy for the site. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Daniel Wilkin – Creative Director, Deadeye Design
