Hi, I'm Olga.
A copywriter and brand consultant allergic to big egos, blah, and BS.

That means I don’t do ‘disruptive storytelling’ or ‘cut-through content’.
I just help all kinds of people and organisations figure out what to say and how to say it.

A few of the people I've worked with:
Why

HOW DID IT COME
TO THIS?

After nearly a decade of working with brands of all shapes and sizes, I realised I only do my best work when I give a damn. So now I only take on damn-worthy projects.

 

That doesn’t necessarily mean ‘society-transforming, planet-cooling, kitten-rescuing’, although that would be a massive bonus, and anyone who knows me will confirm that I’d do anything for cats. But most of all, I just want interesting problems. 

The specific industry doesn't matter — I've had worrying amounts of fun writing about Boeing’s latest features, e-commerce payment systems, and gut health (without resorting to intestinal puns, would you believe). Some of my best long-form copy was based on legal case studies, and I spent some of the happiest hours of my career hiding secret messages in headlines for a crime drama channel. Basically, I'm a near-omnivore: like a bear with a prawn allergy.

 

So I won't claim to be saving the world one headline at a time.

I just like writing words that work, and work hard.
(Think carpenter ant on Ritalin. 
Those kinda words. 💊🐜)

 

The best way to get hold of me is by email.

I help people get better at words through Writtn: a newsletter that lets you learn and practise one copywriting tip or technique each week. 

I supply a statistically significant amount of weird overheard things to TimeOut London: 90+ published so far.

I accidentally went viral on Medium and have been sharing tips with freelancers and entrepreneurs since.

If you like foggy islands, folklore, diaries, and short horror stories, you might enjoy this one.
