Meet Dan, Your Freelancer
Hi! I'm Dan, a copywriter, content provider and social media manager from Cumbria. I've been offering content marketing services for over a decade - both on an in-house and freelance basis.
I'm originally from a small village in Cheshire and studied Journalism at Leeds Metropolitan University (now Leeds Beckett), before graduating in 2014.
Since moving to the Lake District in 2021, I've worked with a range of local businesses, doing everything from product descriptions to social media management. This includes clients from sports clubs to wine retailers!

What Your Business Needs
Blog posts
Blog content that’s built to boost visibility and search performance. Each post is crafted to answer the questions your audience is searching for, reinforce your expertise, and keep visitors returning to your site.
Landing pages
Landing pages designed to convert. Clear, SEO-aligned messaging helps visitors understand what you offer, why it matters, and encourages them to take action - whether that’s signing up, enquiring, or making a purchase.
Product descriptions
Engaging, keyword-optimised product descriptions that support conversions. Every description is tailored to your brand voice and written to help customers feel confident choosing your products.
Social Media
Social media support for small businesses ready to grow their presence. From set-up to scheduling, content is created to complement your wider brand strategy, helping you stay visible and consistent online.
Supporting Local Businesses
Being based in Kendal, I love working with people and businesses in and around Cumbria.
From Kirkby Lonsdale to Keswick, I'm passionate about supporting small Lake District ventures. This also includes those in places a little further afield, such as:
Blackpool
Lancaster
Morecambe
Yorkshire Dales
However, working remotely means I can deliver freelance social media management services to anyone, anywhere, so don't be put off if you're based outside the county.
Just send me a message!
Success Stories
Kendal Town Football Club
Since becoming Media Manager in 2022, I’ve developed and led a digital strategy that transformed the club’s online presence. Monthly reach now exceeds 1 million views on Facebook, 40,000 on Instagram, and 20,000 on YouTube - growth that has helped drive increased engagement and significantly boosted matchday attendance.
The Meeting Shed Company
For The Meeting Shed Company, I built the website and delivered all copywriting, including SEO-focused landing pages, product pages, and a full suite of branded materials. The result was a cohesive online identity designed to build trust and convert visitors into customers.

Working with House of Malt over a two-year period, I wrote descriptions for nearly 1,000 specialist drinks products, ensuring each one was clear, engaging, and optimised for search. I also created SEO-friendly landing page copy and blog content that supported both visibility.
