the best words in the best order

Welcome to The Copy House.

We have over 8 years experience of copywriting, running content projects and offering both content strategy and copywriting training workshops.

Copywriting is an art, but it is also a science. Working with us means you’re not just hiring a copywriter, you’re also getting a writer who:

  • understands the principles of marketing
  • can help you articulate what your brand is about in all your communications
  • guides you on how to get your copy written most efficiently
  • understands how to write for the web
  • focusses on what your audience need to hear from you
  • communicates clear-cut processes to you and manages projects efficiently

Is it time to get some copy written? Have a look at our portfolio or get in touch.

With copywriting, content writing, brand language consultancy and training workshops we help you find the best way to get your message across.

We work with big brands, creative agencies and businesses of all sizes in Brighton, London, Belfast and the United States – so no matter where you are, we’re on hand to help you out.

How we work

The Copy House was set up by Ellen de Vries in 2009 to house the team of writers she collaborates with on large content projects for businesses and organisations.

She works both under her own name as a consultant, trainer, copywriter and speaker as well as with the fixed team of trusted content writers who all work under one roof. Read more about us.

  • My Talk Notes on Fruitful Collaboration

    To me, this is how collaboration works: We all climb our respective specialist sides of a mountain, sometimes we have to help each other out and cross over. When we get to the top, we’ve achieved something greater than the sum of our parts.
