Testimonials

Find out what our clients think of us…

“Here’s what I can honestly say about working with Nota Bene Copywriting: we were very, very happy about our decision. Neil understood what we were about from the beginning.

“He quickly built up the necessary know-how and also understood how to apply it. He was very reliable, kept all agreed times and exceeded our expectations.

“Above all, it’s not easy to build up knowledge of a complicated IT service and then dismantle it in a way that can be easily understood – but Neil managed all this exceptionally well.

“I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others.”

- Temmuz Aslan
Solutions and Products Manager, KOBIL Systems


“Neil's been wonderful to work with.

“His experience and the quality of his work speaks for itself. But as a small, fast-moving team, we also need people who are responsive, reliable, and don't need hand-holding. Neil hit the ground running and has worked on taglines and CTAs through to editing and helping us to build a consistent style guide.

“We're so glad to have him in our reach.”

- Camille Gomez
Creative Manager, DECATHLON America


“We know we can trust Neil with anything…”

“As a business, we have technically complex products and we serve a diverse set of audiences. That's why having Nota Bene Copywriting as an approved supplier is so valuable to our entire marketing team.

“The copy is always clear, results-driven, and speaks perfectly to our different target markets. We know we can trust Neil with anything from small email promotions through to detailed white papers that require several layers of sign-off. And the service is reliable, quick, and pleasant.

“We've worked with Nota Bene for several years now and we can't see that changing anytime soon...”

- Peretz Eisenberg
Senior Copywriter, Payoneer

“We’ve… not once got close to these results.”

“We found Neil’s website with a quick Google search - it ticked all the boxes - a quick 15 minute chat and we were away.

“A week later and our new set of product taglines arrived. Neil absolutely nailed it!!!

“I have worked on this product for years and not once got close to these results. We will be back. In fact, we started using one of the new lines within 15 minutes of them arriving.”

- Jim Peskett
General Manager, Xendurance Europe


“As a B2B agency, we manage campaigns for clients in some of the most demanding industries, including manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Crafting educational content for these sectors can be challenging even for the most experienced writers.

“Neil’s solid grasp of complex technical subjects and clear copy have contributed to the success of the projects we’ve collaborated on. Apart from that, our team members highly appreciate his responsiveness, reliability, and how he handles revisions.

“So in a word, Neil’s great and we look forward to working with him more.”

- Ewa Agata Balazinska
Tech Content Director, Clipatize


“Nota Bene delivers…”

“When we need writing skills we can trust, we head straight to Nota Bene. Our work involves complex and technical subjects, as well as in-depth interviews with senior business leaders. Nota Bene delivers. No hassle, no difficulties: just great writing and a service to match.”

- Tony Joseph
Client Services Director, Digital Litmus

 

“The stats speak for themselves…”

“Neil is a dream to work with. He quickly understands what we need and applies it to everything from tone to the key messages - every piece so far has been spot on. The stats speak for themselves with Neil’s content gaining high engagement for us across both social media and our website. A perfect partnership for our business and someone we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

- Melissa Aird
Marketing Manager, The EMS Group


“One of Neil’s greatest assets is his interviewing technique…”

“I first worked with Neil at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games so, when On needed some extra support with sports storytelling, I knew who to call. Over several years, Nota Bene has supported On across a range of topics and channels. From email subject lines to articles of 2,000 words plus, Neil has always delivered, no matter how tight the turnaround.

“One of Neil’s greatest assets is his interviewing technique. Whether speaking to one of our team or an elite athlete, he’s able to draw out not only the key points but the human stories that really captivate the reader. One piece of copy Neil ghostwrote for an athlete was so accurately interpreted that they had it printed and framed, which I think speaks volumes.

“On top of all that, Neil has a great sense of humour and is a pleasure to work with. I’d happily recommend him any time.”

- Mike Stuart
Copy Lead, On


“Happy… elevating his service beyond the supply of copy.”

“Several years ago, Neil came recommended to us by an employee who'd previously worked with him. Since then, Nota Bene Copywriting has become one of our most trusted suppliers.

“We've used Nota Bene for work in several sectors, on everything from editing existing editorial to writing articles, landing pages, emails, taglines and display ads. Each time, Neil's copy is sharp, fresh - and, most importantly, effective.

“Crucially for an agency like ours, Neil's reliability is a given. Deadlines are always met. He's also happy to provide extra support where needed, offering strategic advice on comms issues and elevating his service beyond the supply of copy.

“We've been delighted to work with Neil and Nota Bene for many years. I'd recommend him without hesitation.”

- Moray Newberry
Managing Director, Monitor Creative


“A very talented writer…”

“Neil’s copy is always first rate and he never has any problems meeting deadlines.

“He can clearly juggle many projects at one time and he is also willing to give feedback on briefs, which is important. He also knows his subjects very well and is willing to do tons of research to ensure he is an expert at most things.

“Not only is he a very talented writer, but he also a sense of humour. He’s an excellent hire.”

– Craig Spence
Communications Director, International Paralympic Committee


“Amazing to work with...”

“Neil's amazing to work with. He's speedy, writes well and handles revisions with ease (in the rare cases that we have them).

“It didn't take him long to hone in on the voice for our brand ...he gets our direction, and his writing shows and supports it.”

- Gavin Anstey
COO and Co-Founder, Cinebody

 

“Quick and precise...”

“We needed a copywriter for our website nomobo.tv. I found Neil online, through a post on LinkedIn. We talked over the phone and he started working on a couple of texts.

“He quickly understood our tone of voice and he’s been writing for NOMOBO ever since. Neil is quick and precise, and his texts are on point.”

- Marieke Hoogendijk
Marketing Manager, NOMOBO


“I’d been struggling with inconsistent copy across my business, and I had issues with being succinct and getting my point across.

“I found Neil and immediately could see he got what I was trying to achieve and was pretty much spot on right away with the copy he wrote. Any small changes he took in his stride, and I didn’t have to worry about any reaction to me editing his work.

“He’s easy to get on with, reliable and sticks to timelines – I’ll happily work with him again in the future.”

- Hugo Scheckter
Founder and Managing Director, The Player Care Group


“While our company was extending its operations into international markets, our marketing team faced the challenge of preparing lots of content in English for our teams in different regions. We found in Neil a very reliable partner who helps us with different types of content about various IT solutions, and who is always very prompt - no matter how big the task. Thanks to Neil’s contribution, our marketing communication with customers all over the world has become much stronger.”

- Evgeny Stakhanov
Marketing Manager, TerraLink


“Always excellent…”

“We have worked with Neil for many years now, on many different projects. His work is always excellent, and I would highly recommend his services.”

- Dr Jon Finn
Founder, Tougher Minds

 

“Exceptional writing…”

“When we started collaborating, Neil showed genuine interest in understanding my vision and objectives. Thanks to his exceptional writing, my story now resonates with readers on a deeper level.

“I wholeheartedly recommend working with Neil if you want a talented and passionate copywriter to bring your story to life. I'm delighted to have him within my company and clients' reach!”

- Cigdem Oztabak
Founder, Pirix.co


“A dream to work with…”

“We approached Neil to help with writing the copy for a new website selling online health and safety courses. He was given a brief of what we were looking for and within a week we had the first drafts. We were very impressed with the quality of the copy Neil had written, so much so that no amendments were needed at all.

“Neil has been a dream to work with as he’s made the whole process so simple and hassle free. His communication skills are excellent, always keeping you in the loop at every stage of the process, whilst working to a specific timescale.

“He has a very friendly, down-to-earth and approachable manner. His writing skills are second-to-none and we look forward to working more with Neil over the coming months.”

- Kirsty Smithson
Marketing Manager, UK Online Training


“Exceptionally talented…”

“Neil is an expert at turning information into useful copy that can sell products or inform consumers. He is also exceptionally talented at developing content for internal training manuals for sales and marketing personnel.

“As senior marketing specialist for my firm, I rarely had to send Neil’s work back to him for revisions or corrections because of his ability to turn out quality copy the first time.”

- Ahmed Abdelhamid
Senior Marketing Specialist, Alfardan Exchange

 

“Always… a high standard.”

“We have a wealth of data, information and experience in our business which often sits in our experts’ minds. Due to time pressure and client work, our ability to deliver timely thought leadership has always been a challenge. Neil worked with our experts to interview them and gather the key information from a variety of sources, taking the onus off the team to put pen to a blank sheet of paper.

“We've worked with Neil on different projects, from thought leadership pieces through to video scripts, and the output has always been of a high standard and met our brief accurately.”

– Katie Duance
Head of Communications, Dentsu Aegis Network


“Neil's been a breath of fresh air. He’s taken on new projects seamlessly and is able to deliver great copy efficiently. His enthusiasm for every project and his keenness to understand the client’s needs make him a valued member of the team.”

– Heidi Nagaitis
Senior Account Manager, Monitor Creative


“An excellent standard…”

“We used the services of Neil for some proofreading work we needed on the RLWC2021 Host Bid Guide. He not only conducted the work on a tight deadline, but did it to an excellent standard.

“We would ... engage with the services of Neil in the future.”

– Stephen Brown
Programme Manager, Rugby League World Cup 2021

“Always delivered on time and on spec...”

“I’m extremely happy with the standard of writing and service Neil provided. We have tight deadlines and Neil always delivered on time and on spec, happy to go out of his way if queries needed answering at short notice.

“I’d be happy to recommend him to any potential new client.”

– Emily Anderson
Head of Production, Grange Communications

 

“I would highly recommend Neil to anyone.”

“I approached Neil about training to improve my writing and grammar. Our sessions were highly informative and noticeably improved my writing ability.

“One of Neil’s many teaching strengths is his ability to break down and simplify the more complicated elements of language and grammar – the things you’re hardly ever taught at school or college. His non-judgemental teaching style and extensive experience, as both a journalist and copywriter, was extremely helpful.

“Neil’s lessons covered everything from common grammatical mistakes, to effective press releases and feature writing. I found his training sessions to be informative, well structured and engaging.

“I would highly recommend Neil to anyone. He is a knowledgable mentor who will adapt his teaching methods to all abilities, whether you already have prior experience as a writer – as I did – or are just starting out.”

– Theo Watt
Creative Copywriter, Social Chain

“Completely transformed the business...”

“I've worked with Neil in two different industries. As well as providing work of the highest quality, always on time, in an efficient manner and to brief, the sheer respect he demands from his peers and those who work around him is a sure sign of his outstanding ability, work ethic and quality personality.

“He takes time to understand the purpose behind what he is writing, and has a unique style that makes his work stand out above others. He understands when is appropriate for him to question a brief and to add his own spin on things too, which is important. Having that additional input to a brief is vital.

“To give some specific examples… I presented Neil with a massive brain dump of my business. For many years, it has struggled with identity, meaning that potential clients and suppliers are unsure of who we are and what we do. Spending some time with Neil, and then assigning him with the task of sorting out the brand positioning, has completely transformed the business and put it on a specific clear path for the better.”

– James Gordon
Director, JDG Media Ltd
Business Manager, Manchester Giants Basketball


“Neil's cuttings demonstrate his ability as a writer, both journalism and commercial, and his skill at putting over a story. And anyone spending time with him will realise he has the kind of personality that makes working with him a pleasure.

“But as important, professionally, is his reliability. Once agreed, a deadline is a serious commitment, no matter how tight or how much it means working over. He doesn’t panic under pressure. He gets the job done – and to a high standard.

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Neil.”

– Richard Coomber
Director, Gosnay's Sports Agency
