Introducing Nota Bene Copywriting
Are you a marketing manager, agency, or business owner?
Do you need powerful, effective copywriting that keeps attention and gets results?
Like a fine car, brilliant copy hides its secrets under the bonnet.
We won't bore you with the mechanics.
Yes, we spend our days thinking about rhythm, tone and clarity.
But most of all we think about results.
Because copywriting only exists to drive action…
... to persuade, convince and convert.
If you're looking for copy with influence, get in touch.
Which sectors do we work in?
We provide corporate copy, conversion copy and creative copy to sectors as diverse as:
Financial services
Manufacturing
But our expertise stretches well beyond those industries and we’re happy to provide examples of our previous work - just ask.

Meet the founder
Hello, I’m Neil Barraclough. For more than 20 years, I’ve studied and made my living from language.
First, a degree in linguistics explored the science of language, covering everything from syntax and phonology through to semantics, phonetics and sociolinguistics.
Next, a journalism career - including 10 years on 'Fleet Street', when I worked for every UK national newspaper - gave me the fundamentals of plain English and dramatic storytelling.
But it's the power of language that always fascinated me most.
Today, as a copywriter, I use that power to bring your brand to life.
To persuade your prospects.
To convince your customers.
And to convert your leads at every opportunity.
