Copywriter
Tom began his career as an editor and copywriter 20 years ago in London. He learned his trade writing for professional services firms – producing everything from brochures to websites, and ghost-written articles. Since arriving in Berlin in 2008, he has worked as a freelance writer and project manager for numerous agencies and companies, including Sodexo, Time Out, KAEFER Isolier Technik, WeWork, and Hello Fresh.
Tom specialises in technical corporate documents such as sustainability reports, codes of business conduct and product descriptions. A significant portion of his corporate work concerns internal communications (including crisis communications, speeches, strategic documents, training manuals, grant applications) and is confidential.
Services for artists & writers
As a novelist and art historian, Tom understands the pressures and priorities of creative work. As a copywriter, he knows how to present the work of artists and musicians to its best advantage, in clear and engaging prose, across a range of formats including websites, exhibition texts, press releases and full-length monographs.
Tom offers a full range of services to writers, including manuscript assessments and editorial services. He also leads copy- and creative-writing workshops for companies, NGOs and other organisations in Berlin and remotely.

Tom is such a gifted writer. So able to walk right into my mind.
I was very impressed with Tom’s work. He set out his thoughts on my manuscript in a report that was comprehensive and well-organised. I particularly appreciated his honesty. He complimented the things he enjoyed, yet his report never shied away from identifying areas needing work. He was never cruel or dismissive in his criticisms. On the contrary, he was patient and constructive, always explaining the problem and even suggesting resolutions. I would recommend Tom to anyone who is ready for detailed, honest critique of their work.
Tom led an insightful and constructive workshop for our marketing team. He was very attentive and gave us the right input without saying everything directly himself, but bringing the participants to come up with the learnings ourselves. The workshop was a great way to understand different creative writing techniques and to reflect on our own writing capabilities. It was exciting to be exposed to so many different approaches to creative writing. We can highly recommend the workshop for marketing and creative teams of any kind!
It was an absolute pleasure doing a writing workshop with Tom! Over the course of several sessions, he helped our company to develop an exciting new vision for the future as well as the tools to express it in the right words. Not only did we work in detail on specific texts, but we also collected an arsenal of writing exercises and practical tips at hand for every future piece of communication. Tom always asked the right questions to propel us into unexpected and rewarding directions, and his text-editing and copywriting advice was spot-on. Highly recommended!
