Background

About Ben Stephens

With over twenty years of professional copywriting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every job I undertake. In my current role at UCLA I craft messaging aimed at promoting a culture of philanthropy on campus and beyond, reaching out to current students, alumni and donors, demonstrating the transformative impact of charitable giving. As a freelancer, I pride myself in delivering agency-level service to organisations of all sizes. Copy that sparkles and engages. Creative that doesn't just meet the brief but exceeds it. And I'm all about added value: throughout the process, my clients benefit from every insight I can bring to the proceedings. For five years I was Copywriter/Senior Copywriter at On Agency, Brighton's award-winning charity agency (named 'Best Creative Agency'​ for two years running at the Institute of Fundraising Awards). I firmly believe that writing doesn't have to be dull or jargon-filled. It can be compelling, interesting and even (dare I say it) enjoyable to read. Here's what a satisfied client - Muscular Dystrophy UK - had to say about working with me:"Ben was recommended to me as an exceptional copywriter and one we should work with for our next direct mail appeal. I can confidently say that Ben not only delivered great copy but he also suggested creative direction and a choice of concepts – all equally interesting. Ben understood the charity and its aim straight away, and adapted very well to the tone and language required to communicate sensitive information and messages. Finally he delivered copy on time and worked under a quick turnaround. I am sure Ben will become a regular copywriter for Muscular Dystrophy UK and I can only encourage you to use his services."
