Riley Barry
CONTENT WRITER
After years of struggling to choose a course to study I picked something I loved. Writing.
My love of writing is rooted in fiction and fantasy (thanks Tolkien)!
But, with a background littered with digital media experience, I piece together content for all kinds of companies.
My favourite thing about writing is that it’s an escape from reality and through my writing I can help readers find that escape.
FAVOURITE BOOK
There are too many books for me to pick just one but I really love The Lord of the Rings (just all of them). Skulduggery Pleasant is my childhood favourite though I still adore the series.

Ciara Meagher
Copywriter
Nature lover with a soft spot for clouds. Can be spotted giggling at cat memes, mastering my baking game, awkwardly holding a yoga pose or painting.
Ciara Meagher
COPYWRITER
From a young age, I knew that writing was my "thing". So when the opportunity arose to combine my vibrant imagination, fascination with words, and digital marketing background to write marketing copy - I knew this was the right place for me.
My natural writing style is quirky, lighthearted, and playful, however, I love playing "dress up" with our clients' tone of voice to write beautifully on-brand material that helps them connect with their audience.
My favourite thing about copywriting is that it's almost like a jigsaw puzzle: it only comes together once every word fits together seamlessly.
FAVOURITE BOOK
Can’t choose just one sorry! Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Power by Naomi Alderman, What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey and Normal People by Sally Rooney.

Hot drinks aficionado with a slight distrust of people who “don’t have a favourite mug”. Can usually be found DM’ing brands with unsolicited advice about their content. Believes copywriters should get to gatekeep the term ‘professional wordsmith’.

Kelli Cleary
CONTENT WRITER
As an experienced content writer with a Master's degree in linguistics, I'm keenly aware of words and the feelings they evoke. While I may be considered a novice in her rival passion of gardening, when it comes to marketing copy, I'm a seasoned ace.

If pressed to choose, I'd have to say East of Eden by John Steinbeck or Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. - both beautifully and lovingly written.
