Copywriting in Milton Keynes during the lockdown
My virtual diary has never been this busy. Speed networking, catch-up Zooms, Eurovision parties, Friday afternoon drinks and even a murder mystery. The variety has been great, but the opening question is always: “So, how has copywriting in Milton Keynes been during the lockdown?” And, while I politely smile and say “everything is great, thank

Should you be blogging right now?
I don’t mean right, right now. But, in general. When I’m not talking about running or eating ice cream, I can usually be found copywriting.

One of those days
We all have them — even me, the content creator. A blank page kind of day. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s Blue Monday and the piercing blue skies outside looked a lot more enticing than my messy desk. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m still on a sugar high from my ‘no chocolate in the
