Why you should hire a Yorkshire copywriter

Now I wouldn’t want to go all in right from the off and claim that copywriters from Yorkshire are the best, but just hear me out.

When you start to look into everything ‘God’s Own Country’ has to offer, it does seem to suggest that we’re looking at a place that produces the best of creativity, wit and all-round friendliness. Sounds like a pretty solid base for a fantastic copywriter doesn’t it?

So what are the main reasons that make a Yorkshire copywriter so good - let’s have a proper look shall we?

Yorkshire is a place of spectacular scenic beauty

Rolling hills to quaint villages to rugged coastline to buzzing cities.

The kind of beauty that inspires creativity. Think playwright Alan Bennett, artist David Hockney, actors Sean Bean and Judi Dench, and ahem, the Brontë sisters! If this kind of scenery is not going to get your creative juices flowing, then I don’t know what will.

Yorkshire people feed their brains

Brain food, it’s a thing. There’s plenty of culinary delights to choose from in this part of the country. We only fuel up on the best food to get our cogs whirring and our fingers typing. Yorkshire puddings mainly, mmm. And if you haven’t tried a Betty’s Fat Rascal before, then shame on you.

Yorkshire folk – we really are a friendly bunch

We’ll always smile and say hello (this often unnerves the Southerners!). Being naturally approachable and sociable makes us nice and easy to work with. Surely that’s the kind of person you want when you hire a freelance copywriter, right? And as we’re down to earth, we can take critique on the chin and crack on with editing version 2 for you.

Yorkshire’s way with words

Here we have some reet good sayings, especially deep in the Dales. With our distinctive dialect full of ‘Ey up’ and ‘Ee by gum’, we have an inherently playful way with the English language, and this feeds nicely into writing great copy. Especially useful when you’re looking for a chatty, friendly tone of voice for your brand.

Just think of the famous marketing ad campaigns that led with a distinctive Yorkshire TOV:

·        Plusnet

·        Yorkshire Tea

·        John Smiths

·        Tetley Tea

Yorkshire Tea ad campaign: 'Let's have a proper brew'

So, if you’re after a natural wordsmith who is creative and friendly, you can’t go far wrong with a Yorkshire freelance copywriter. Like me for instance! And no, I don’t have to write your copy with a Yorkshire tone of voice, unless you want me to.
