'Having sought Barnaby's help on a copywriting project that had been difficult to finalise, he quickly grasped the objective and the style that was needed and responded promptly with exactly what I was looking for. I would be pleased to brief Barnaby again in the future and confident that he would deliver exactly on brief.'

He has turned a very difficult subject, offset mortgages into a readable document that is light and informative. I always know my clients are in capable hands. I'm looking forward to our next project together.'

www.bluegoose.co.uk'Barnaby really got to grips quickly with our industry newsletter, 'Insight'. He made the headlines hooky and stories engaging - and he came up with some good ideas for enhancing it.'
'The quality and speed of your work for us was simply outstanding; the best way I can illustrate this is that my Finance Director, who is somewhat of a humourless cynical individual, described the overview brochure as "the best brochure he has ever read"...if customers think the same we are in great shape.'

As well as developing our Brand Guidelines, Barnaby worked with our in-house copywriting team to facilitate the smooth implementation of the new guidelines, as well as to inject a new level of creativity and personality into our marketing communications. He was great fun to work with and his unique talent for writing and coaching was of real value to our business.

www.pocruises.com/I am just writing to thank you, and your proofreader Mary, for all your hard work supporting the production of our brochures for 2010 entry.
I was particularly pleased by the speed with which you both managed to turn around some large pieces of work, and with your communication regarding receipt and progress. And Mary’s attention to detail was perfect.

'Having worked with Barnaby Benson on a series of projects over the years I have been consistently impressed with the speed at which he gets beneath the surface of the project, understands the client and their brand. He has worked with me on large scale projects for NatWest, Lloyds TSB as well as a series of on-going projects for the London Business School. I frequently recommend him when asked to suggest a highly skilled and professional copywriter.'Barnaby worked as an integral part of the team responsible for developing the new tone of voice for Lloyds TSB and implementing that across all key brochures. He has also been key in developing on brand copy and headlines that are at once engaging and supportive of the creative direction for NatWest.'

'Our brief for Eat at Work was pretty challenging. We needed to explain a technical product that dealt with National Insurance and tax treatment in a simple way. What we got was a great brochure that explained the benefits in an easy to understand way. Barnaby really got his head around what we needed to say and what our audience would think. The result was great feedback from prospects and a successful product launch.'
