About Us

Big Star Content is the new name for Copywriting Devon.

Since 2005, we’ve grown to become one of the leading copywriting services in the UK. We have created thousands of pages of original web copywriting, blogs and articles for clients across a range of sectors and have strong relationships with several UK search agencies. We've helped hundreds of clients with new web copy, brochures, blogs, articles, news and press releases as well as advice on how that content can be used most effectively to build better businesses.

Bigger than… when we started

I’ve changed our name because our business has changed on many levels.

Content is still at the heart of everything we do but I wanted a new name and a new look to reflect the fact that our services are now much broader than copywriting. It’s my belief that content has become the single most important element of Internet marketing and that’s become apparent in additional services we’ve been asked for by our clients.

Bigger than… one individual

Big Star Content reflects the fact that it’s no longer just me working as a freelancer but a team and an organisation, with systems and processes in place so you get continuity, consistency and reliability no matter how large the project. Now we really can be in two places at once and I’ve expanded our skill set to bring in people that are experienced in branding, content strategy, copywriting training, marketing and social media.

Our success has enabled us to grow and to retain talented writers as part of a large UK copywriter team. Having a team means being able to specialise and match appropriate expertise with your project. I’ve also been able to take on a full-time editor who ensures the quality and consistency of our content, responding to client feedback and making sure deadlines are met.

Bigger than… a copywriting service

Big Star Content extends our content services naturally to encompass both strategy and training.

At a top level we offer brand story: this is the DNA of your brand, the narrative that runs through your organisation, your products and services. For brand story to be most effective, you need a content strategy and brand/style guidelines to ensure your message gets across throughout all your communications.

You may also need training to ensure you’re making the most of your in-house resources for web copywriting, blogging and social media usage whether that means training someone in your organisation as your copywriter or learning best practice so you can manage your copywriting services more effectively.

Bigger than… one location

I wanted to choose a name that reflects the fact that we work with clients all across the UK and internationally. We’re happy to support and partner businesses on our doorstep in Devon but we work equally well with businesses in London, the West Midlands, the US or wherever. If you need to meet us we can travel, or you can come to Devon and enjoy the fresh air while you’re here.

Bigger than…

Finally, I wanted a name that would acknowledge our ambition to inform and educate individuals, businesses and organisations about what makes good content and why getting it right is essential to success online. We’ll continue to match that ambition with content services and products that help you communicate better, sell your products and services more effectively and build long-lasting relationships with your customers.
