Video Script Copywriting That Makes The Cut
As a video script copywriter, I specialise in writing scripts for promotional and explainer videos. I also write video scripts for online training courses.
Video Script Copywriting
I write video scripts for promotional videos, presentations, TV and radio adverts. Normally script writing requires a minimalist approach, capturing the essence of a brand using few words and all within a certain time limit. Creating a concise script normally means writing in short sentences and using simple language. It’s important to bear in mind that your audience won’t necessarily understand your industry jargon.

''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 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.

''An Amazing Video Script''
‘I’ve been working with Jamie for the past month. During that time, he has edited my script for an online tutorial video which is an entirely new project. 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.’

How Much Does Video Script Copywriting Cost?
I believe in being as up-front as possible when it comes to pricing. My day rate is £500 and we provide a price per video script, so you’ll know exactly how much the work will cost up front. Some of the factors that I consider when pricing for video script copywriting include:
- The length of the video script
- How much research is involved
- Whether tone of voice guidelines are required
- How many revisions are needed
- The project deadline
To provide some context, I typically charge from £300 to write a two-minute video script from scratch. I offer three rounds of revisions per script, however, we always aim to please and are usually happy to make additional tweaks at no extra cost until you’re happy with the copy.
My prices include all ongoing correspondence with the client, editing, proofreading and amendments. For larger projects, I’d send over the scripts in small batches to gather your feedback, adjust and approve as we go.
