A Quick Bio
Just the best bits
Craft
I’m a senior, native English speaking copy and content writer with a wealth of regional, national and international experience. Through this experience, whether working in-house at a company or on the agency side, I have developed a strategic approach to content creation and have practical ways to drive warm leads into your sales funnel. As you already know, content works for B2B just as well as it does for B2C but in addition to that, I can write specific content to suit your objectives from market entry to brand positioning and beyond. This is what makes content ideal for start-ups, scale ups and even established businesses. And, while I’d like to think my work speaks for itself, you may be reassured by the fact that I am certified for inbound marketing, analytics and SEO by HubSpot, Google and Luv 4 Marketing.
Know-How
My global experience make me the ideal copy and content writer for any international company. Not only have I written a hardback book on international business but I'm also able to unndertand the nuances of communicating with different cultures. I am also able to operate with translators and translation agencies to find solutions to multilingual challenges.

I don't like to boast, so I let these people do it for me
Mike Mutch
Creative Director
"Brendan knows how to close the deal with any copy. He knows the difference between a call to action, and getting a knee jerk reaction.
Effective copywriting is his sword, whether writing attention grabbing headlines that convert, or crafting compelling copy that inspires.
His multi-platform experience across global brands gives him a wealth of knowledge to write the headlines that pull and compel customers attention all the time. They say one single word can change everything. but I'll give you two,
Brendan Reid"Jon Watts
Head of Creative at BURN
When I was group head at Carlson, I was looking to expand my team and interviewed for a copywriter. Brendan stood out among all the candidates as it was quite evident that he was passionate about concepts and all his work he showed me proved that, even the smallest ads can be interesting, indeed they have to be.
Brendan was always good to work with as I knew he wouldn't settle for second best in his work. He was always reliable in his work, attitude and attendance and was a good laugh to boot.Fadi FakihOwner, F1 TradingWorking with Brendan was not only professional and always on brief but it was fun too. He enjoyed de-briefing sessions as much as I enjoyed him inviting me to brainstorming sessions. I highly recommend Brendan to his current or next employer as advertising men like him are rare these days.

Creative Outsource
Brendan cruised in, slotted in, and helped put the creative flesh on the bones of a large campaign we'd just cracked strategically - and was prolific in doing so.
Peter Mazloumian
Content creator
As a new copywriter, I was fortunate enough to have been placed under Brendan’s wing.
His passion for creativity, advertising and writing was both inspirational and motivating.
I’ve taken away a lifetime of valuable lessons from this experience and hope to one day become an equally accomplished writer/creative director.
Gary Cahill
