An Energy Copywriter Who Delivers Clear, Consistent Copy in an Ever-Evolving Sector
I specialise in copywriting for the energy sector, covering a range of topics relating to sustainability, renewable technology, domestic and commercial energy and environmental issues.
What Does Good Copywriting for Energy Companies Look Like?
‘The energy sector is constantly evolving and whereas a lot of companies used to specialise in a particular sector, companies are now becoming a one-stop-shop and are offering several services. So, I think consistency and brand language is important. If an energy company has several strings to its bow, it’s important to make sure that the copy is coming from a singular voice and that it’s consistent across all mediums.’

An Experienced Energy Copywriter
As an energy copywriter, I’ve written for several financial, engineering and oil and gas companies all over the world on the subject of sustainability. The energy industry is constantly changing and evolving and it takes a committed copywriter to keep abreast of these evolutions. I have a good knowledge of the industry and with a little research I’m able to write on a variety of subjects relating to the field.

''A Pleasure to Work With''
‘We started a blog over a year ago in which Jamie has helped us with articles in relation to the utilities industry. Jamie has always easily understood our content needs, he is very committed to his work, the deliveries have always been on time and the articles reflect his knowledge of the industry and good research.

''A Great Experience''
‘If you ‘re looking for a copywriter that respects the client’s assignment without compromising his own expertise as a writer, don’t look any further. We needed a copywriter to smoothen a voiceover text for a technical offshore client. It was a great experience working with Jamie and the Brand New Copy team. They can simplify complex, technical language, so that everybody understands. The message really came across clearly. They’re quick and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Last but not least, they’re friendly. Jamie knows what he’s doing, when it comes to writing for video.
