Naomi Cole
Copywriter & keynote speaker

I write the sentence that stops people scrolling.

Fifteen years turning complicated ideas into the line a room remembers — for brands, founders, and the people who speak on their behalf.

Copywriting that carries weight, not decoration

Most brand voice work adds adjectives. Mine removes them. I'm brought in when a launch, a manifesto, or a founder letter has to be read once and understood completely — no second draft to explain it.

How a project runs
01

Listen

A working session to hear how you already talk about the thing, before I write a word.

02

Draft

One full draft — not three weak options to choose between.

03

Sharpen

One round of revision, focused on what's actually unclear, not wordsmithing for its own sake.

04

Deliver

Final copy, ready to ship — plus notes on why each choice was made.

What clients say

"Naomi rewrote our launch page in one sitting. It converted better than six months of our own drafts combined."

Priya Shah, Founder, Fernbridge

"She's the only writer I've worked with who makes things shorter and somehow more convincing at the same time."


Common questions
How long does a typical project take?

Most run 1 to 6 weeks depending on scope — a single launch page versus a full brand voice system.

Do you write speeches for people other than founders?

Occasionally — usually executives speaking on behalf of a founder's vision.

How does pricing work?

A fixed project fee, confirmed after a short call — never billed by the hour.


If it needs to land the first time, that's the work I do.

Short call first — no brief required, just the problem you're trying to solve.
