Video Script Copywriting That Makes The Cut

‘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 workingwith 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.

In addition, Jamie has written an amazing script for my explainer video. He has quickly grasped the content that I have needed. He has used clever wording to enhance the information quality and has met the deadlines that he has set. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him for future work.’
