One Fine Stay
Travel copywriting

With increased time-intensive work and limited in-house resources to deliver larger volumes of on-brand copy, onefinestay approached Big Star Copywriting to find a more comprehensive solution to its website content creation.

“Big Star has always performed. They meet demanding deadlines and have been really helpful with internal time management. They’re on-call to help and support the whole process, which has been really valuable. It’s great to have an agency that never feels stale, stagnant or coasting.”

Liz Wootton, Content Manager, One Fine Stay

Ibexa
SEO copywriting

In June 2021, Ibexa approached Big Star to assist with its content creation. It was the start of a fruitful long-term partnership that continues to this day. To learn more about how the relationship developed and how Big Star’s work benefits Ibexa, we spoke with Su Kent, Director of Communications and Content at Ibexa.

“Thanks to Big Star, we are more disciplined in writing with SEO in mind. And we now produce copy that meets our marketing objectives.”

Su Kent, Former Content Director, Ibexa.

Avansas UK SEO copywriting

Expanding its office supplies and stationery business to the UK market, Avansas approached Big Star Copywriting seeking professional content producers who could deliver both first-class content and a sound SEO strategy.

“Whereas many agencies generate content with little thought for the wider strategic context, Big Star marries the two superbly, providing justifications and explanations for its decisions and the copy it creates”.

Bina Naik, Head of Sales & Marketing, Avansas UK

Content Marketing

TH March
SEO copywriting

We have increased our leads, and our content resonates with target audiences and helps with higher value leads.

Before working with Big Star, our biggest challenges were working with agencies that didn’t truly understand our audiences and writing with SEO in mind/researched. And that made us feel like budget and time was wasted with no return.

Big Star helped us with that by understanding our audiences, writing with SEO in mind and making valuable insights and suggestions to help deliver better content (and on time!).

Now we’ve worked with Big Star, we feel happy and comfortable that the work is always delivered on time and with accuracy and consistency. The Big Star team is friendly, flexible and offers valuable insights.

For anyone thinking about working with Big Star, I’d say: Try Big Star and see better results with the expert writers and great research/technical teams. You will see results and see how other agencies just say they do this (and don’t!).

Greg Ibbotson, Marketing Manager, TH March

Fireworks.co.uk
Web copywriting

Now that we’ve worked with Big Star, and with the right domain, SEO and content, we’re creating movement on Google, which is what we wanted.

Before we worked with Big Star, we had a domain name and an all-singing all-dancing website, but with that came the content part. We had hired content writers but the writing was all quite clinical. That was okay at the time, but Google wants something more personal and less corporate.

Big Star helped us by writing with the tone of voice we needed. Now we don’t use anyone else, and we’re likely to come back to Big Star again in the future. If it wasn’t working, then we would never have continued.

I really like the simplicity of the process. I send over a rough brief of what we need, our writer does a bit of magic, and we get the copy back within the deadline. Big Star is a great company – nothing is ever too much trouble.

For anyone thinking about working with Big Star, this is what I’d say: Don’t use anyone else! Simply have a meeting with Derryck and come up with a plan with one of the writers.

Norman Wilkinson
Marketing Manager, Ghengis Fireworks

Komedia
Brand story

Komedia are a successful entertainment organisation with two venues (Bath and Brighton) and an award-winning production company. They were redeveloping their website and engaged us to create their brand story to underpin the design brief and their internal and external communications.

“I enlisted Derryck at Big Star Copywriting to help present the Komedia live entertainment business on a new website. In this process, we ended up with more overarching benefits that we had initially anticipated. Through a series of meetings with the key stakeholders, he enabled us to draw out the values of the organisation, getting to the very DNA of Komedia. With this understanding, he allowed us to clearly and honestly articulate Komedia’s values to our staff and customers, along with artists and promoters who present shows at our venues. The outcome of Big Star Copywriting’s involvement far exceeded my initial expectations, and I am sure Komedia will benefit from this exercise for many years.”

Richard Daws, Owner, Komedia

English Riviera
Content marketing

English Riviera required a total rethink of the existing tone of voice and the need to incorporate several “attack brands” throughout the copy without losing any of the detail regarding visitor information on destinations, attractions and accommodation.

“It was really important for us to establish a consistent tone of voice with the new web copywriting and totally rewrite the information on our old website so that it was both search engine friendly and useful to site readers. We couldn’t have done it without Big Star Copywriting. They took a complex brief and created a very clear, friendly tone of voice that is perfectly in line with our target users.”

Carolyn Custerson, CEO, English Riviera Tourism Company

Kooma.co.uk
Web copywriting

Kooma.co.uk is one of the biggest psychic reading companies in the UK. They approached us to create around 50 pages of original content for a complete re-launch of their UK site, as well as a similar number of pages for their US launch. We also provide 20 blogs a month each for the UK and US site. For the blogs we generate the titles, research and write the content and publish the content to Kooma’s CMS. The results of the new, more relevant content were dramatic: Kooma immediately saved 15% on their Adwords bill, which will result in thousands of pounds saved every year.

“By professionally writing the content on our website, the greater focus and relevance it has given us means it has paid for itself within the first month.”

David Lee, MD, 4D Interactive (Kooma’s parent company)
