Ben Hayes
Copywriting Strategist
The one who does the words.
Ben is all about words. Words that are clear, concise and charismatic. Not verbose, pretentious or insipid.
Through Grasp he works as a freelance copywriter to help brands sell, educate, and delight. From creating brand stories and tone of voice guidelines. To writing websites and white papers.
His favourite word? Tartle. Essentially the panic you face when introducing someone whose name you’ve forgotten.
What Ben Does:
Brand storytelling and positioning
Messaging frameworks (used for websites, investor decks, sales materials etc.)
Tone of voice playbook and guidelines
Creative campaigns (landing pages, adverts, stationary, anything that’s needs a word or phrase)
Check out his CV:
Ben’s been working with corporates and startups for 10+ years across marketing and operations.
