More than words

I’ll tell the world what makes you tick

Looking for something different? So am I.

I delight in unearthing the nugget of uniqueness in your product or service, and getting to the heart of what makes your organisation distinctive. I grasp the fundamentals of what makes you you, and communicate that concisely, creatively and effectively.

I’m a generalist. I don’t focus on a particular sector. But if you’re a housebuilder wanting a new website, you don’t need someone who understands Flemish bond brickwork. You need someone who can persuade a buyer that you have the perfect home for them.

I’m not burdened with the Curse of Knowledge – I won’t assume anything about your brand or your audience and will come to each project with fresh eyes.

Can I help you?

Very probably – and especially if you are:

an owner-managed or family business where the principals are still the driving force
a purpose-led organisation, charity or co-op whose values are what it’s all about
a financial planner, adviser or fintech who puts their trust and their clients’ money in evidence-based investing strategies
a college or university offering students a different experience to the norm

So who am I?

I’m Mary Whitehouse. I called my business ‘Word Service’ because I knew people Googling my name probably wouldn’t find me that way.

I’ve always been good with words. I was one of those people at school who wrote stories to order for their friends.

I left uni knowing that I had to write for a living and eventually bagged a job as a copywriter in an ad agency. A decade later I was PR Director of a B2B marketing consultancy before deciding the time was right to go it alone.

I never looked back. I still work with many of my original clients, and most of the others have been direct referrals. They stay with me because I’m an intuitive writer, incredibly helpful, understand their purpose and thrive on collaborative working.

When I’m not working, I’m walking my dog, taking pictures of clouds, eating chocolate and browsing holiday websites.

How working with me helps others

My business is a member of B1G1 Business for Good. For every project I complete on behalf of a client, I donate a percentage of my fee to support worthwhile projects around the world.
