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.

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.

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.
