BUYER TRENDSwhy content matters before a conversation with sales
68%of B2B buyers start the purchasing process with a frontrunner in mind.
40%of B2B deals stall because of misalignment within the buying group.
67%of B2B buyers prefer a representative-free buying experience.
THE CHALLENGEbusinesses don’t buy on impulse
B2B sales cycles span months, sometimes years. By the time a potential customer appears in your pipeline, much of the buying process may have already happened.
01buyers pick favourites before they show up on your radar
Formal evaluation rarely begins with a blank page. By the time buyers appear on your radar, they’ve likely already finalised their shortlist. Clear messaging, credible expertise, and convincing customer proof help make your business a known quantity.
02purchase decisions are made by committee
Technical, commercial, financial, and executive stakeholders are often weighing different priorities and risks. Your content needs to help them understand the same value, address competing concerns, and reach a decision they can defend together.
03content needs to do more than fill a calendar
Publishing is not the outcome. Every asset should answer an important buyer question, establish expertise, prove a claim, support an internal conversation, or move someone closer to a decision. Generic content is simply too easy to ignore.
SERVICEScontent is how you build credibility before first contact
As a writer and strategist, I help turn complex products and technical subject matter into clear, persuasive narratives. I can lead the process from discovery and SME interviews through to drafting, feedback, and final delivery.

WORK EXAMPLESselect examples of previous projects
simple processes from discovery to delivery
We clarify who the work needs to influence, what they are trying to understand, and what should change after they engage with it.
Together, we identify any gaps and agree a timeline for delivery.
I prepare and conduct focused interviews with the executives, subject-matter experts, salespeople, or customers closest to the issue.
The aim is to uncover the distinctions, evidence, experience, and practical detail that make the content credible before anybody from sales is there to explain it.
If interviews are not possible or unnecessary, I can proceed with supplied materials and independent research.
I turn the material and insights gathered into a structured narrative that speaks directly to our target audience.
That may mean balancing technical accuracy with commercial relevance, answering executive concerns, or giving an internal advocate evidence they take back to the buying group.
I manage consolidated feedback and resolve comments without losing sight of the original audience and objective.
Two rounds of feedback are included with every project.
words from clients and collaborators
Working with Jake helped us develop and share more engaging stories with our audience. As a clean tech startup, content that educates and inspires is essential to attracting prospects, partners, and investors.
Jake’s strategic approach and clear writing style helped us promote world-first innovations, demystify complex chemical conversions, and position ourselves as a trusted industry commentator.
Professional, creative, and always reliable—highly recommend.
I can always count on Jake to ask the unexpected question that digs deeper into the heart of the story.
He understands that we are constantly bombarded with content and messaging, and story is what will break through and stop us in our tracks—no matter the topic.
Jake creates thought leadership and content that inspires and performs, a winning combo.
Case studies are one of the most compelling ways I tell my brand's story, and my work with Jake was to get to the heart of the story for some of the most influential startup founders today, while also driving engagement with our solutions.
That involved interviewing passionate founders and technical experts to uncover the points of tension, challenges, and triumph that underpin any great narrative.
Throughout our work together, Jake was an energetic collaborator, and his writing demonstrated depth and flexibility to match the brand and story tone.
He consistently captured the unique voice of our partners, while staying true to our objectives. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
ABOUTone content partner from discovery to delivery
I’m an independent B2B technology copywriter and content strategist. I help marketing teams turn complex subjects, expert knowledge, and incomplete briefs into clear, credible content.
Clients work directly with me throughout. I handle the discovery, interviews, writing, and revisions myself, so context is not lost between the initial conversation and the final draft.
I’m based in the UK and work remotely with technology companies and marketing agencies in the UK and internationally.

FAQsfrequently asked questions
A few practical details about the projects I take on, how the work gets done, and what your team can expect.
-
Both.
I can work from an established brief or help clarify the audience, problem, central argument, supporting evidence, and desired action before writing begins.
Messaging projects can include positioning, value propositions, and message hierarchy. Content projects can include topic framing, interview planning, outlines, and supporting activation copy.
-
Yes.
We begin by clarifying what the work needs to achieve, who it must influence, and what information or decisions are still missing.
I review the relevant material, ask the necessary questions, and turn competing requirements into a workable direction before drafting. You remain involved in the decisions that shape the work without needing to manage every step of the process.
-
Yes.
Many projects include structured interviews with executives, subject-matter experts, salespeople, or customers. I prepare the questions, conduct the conversations, and turn the resulting outputs into a clear narrative.
-
Yes.
My work has covered cloud computing, AI, data platforms, cybersecurity, clean-energy technology, and more. I work with your specialists to preserve the distinctions that matter while making the argument clear to technical, commercial, and executive readers.I do not replace the subject-matter expert. I make their expertise easier for technical and non-technical buyers to understand and use.
-
Your team provides the business context, access to the right people, and feedback at agreed review points.
I manage the research, interviews, structure, writing, and revisions. We stay close on the decisions that affect the work, without creating unnecessary meetings or requiring you to supervise every detail.
I can work as an extension of your team or take an agreed brief and operate more independently.
-
Fixed-price packages currently start at £1,500.
Packages cover articles and guides, thought leadership, and customer stories.
For work that falls outside of those packages, my typical day rate is £550.
Monthly retainer options are also available.
-
Yes.
I am based in the UK and work remotely with B2B technology teams internationally, provided there is reasonable time-zone overlap for calls, interviews, and reviews.
-
Send a short outline of what you need, the intended timing, and anything currently getting in the way.
I will reply within 48 hours to confirm whether the project appears to be a good fit and suggest the most useful next step. Depending on the scope, that may be a short discovery call or a request for a little more information before I prepare a recommendation or quote.
-
Yes, selectively—or not at all, if you prefer.
I use AI-assisted tools for limited supporting tasks such as identifying potential research sources, proofreading, and locating relevant passages in interview transcripts. I verify research against the original publications and check quotations against the source transcript.
I still own the strategy, interviews, and writing. I’m led by the brief, source materials, SME insights, and my own judgement.
I disable data sharing for model training by default. I also do not upload confidential, personal, or client-restricted information without explicit approval, and I follow all applicable NDAs, security requirements, and client-specific AI policies.
-
Most standalone pieces reach first draft within a week, once interviews are complete and I have the necessary source material.
The final timeline depends on feedback and approvals. For larger content series or projects involving several stakeholders, I agree a clear schedule and review points before we start.
-
Yes. I provide project-based, day-rate, and retainer support to agencies that need additional capacity or specialist B2B technology experience.
