I’m bored of best-practice sucking the life out of copy and communications.

I know you are too. Whether you’re a quirky creative, a small-business owner, or a rebellious communications pro, you’re simply not cut out for convention.

Let’s add some personality back to your brand and business, shall we?

We’ll turn your scattered notes into strategy-driven copy or communications to unite the right people around your brand story.

If alchemy is a magical process of transformation, so is the ability to turn random thoughts into compelling writing.

With a background in communications and a first-class English Literature degree, I’m now pretty deft at transforming ideas into captivating copy.

Some might say I’m a bit of an alchemist. (Okay, it’s just me that says that.)

I season words with strategy - using data, psychology and theory to deepen the flavour. And I never (ever) compromise when it comes to preserving, or intensifying, the personality of your brand.

In a world of changeable trends and algorithms, copy that remains faithful to your brand will draw in the community of your dreams.

I assume you’re here because you need to add a little spice back to your brand?

Playful yet persuasive copy and communications, worthy of the deviant and daring.

I’m Ella, one of those busy-brained creative types. (Sound familiar?) 

I flutter between imaginative, whimsical word witch and obsessively analytical strategy-nerd. 

I’ve worked for some pretty huge organisations. But when I did, I felt like I couldn’t embrace this duality. I wasn’t able to work in a way that made my creative brain flourish. Plus, there was only a handful of people my work could impact at one time.

So, I made my own role up. And that’s how Alchemy Communications formed.

Nowadays, I rethink the communications traditions passed down to me to empower bold and forward-thinking brands instead.

My expressive side enables me to spin your ideas into intriguing stories that resonate with your dream clients. Plus, my inner nerd loves solving wordy problems all day - like developing strategies to define how you communicate with your customers, team members and beyond.

When I’m lost for words, I head down to my local pole dance studio to explore the language of movement instead, or to teach others how to do the same. 

I’m also a proper country bumpkin, so I’m outside at every opportunity I can get.

In case you were wondering how things work around here…

  • Whoever you are, you’ll be celebrated here. My aim is to empower you to express yourself in a way that’s authentic to you, even if it scares you to do so. No matter what the universe throws at us while working together, we’ll face it with tenacity and honesty, never straying from our intentions.

  • As much as I love strategy, play and experimentation are at the core of my creative process.

    We’ll go beyond the confines of best practice to create something provocative and innovative - and you best believe we’ll have a good time while doing it. The joy is the journey, after all.

  • Everything we do, we’ll do with care, compassion and an open mind. I’ll be my unfiltered self and you can be too.

    Forming or growing a community of people united by a common interest is one thing. But our aim is to foster an environment where people feel valued, supported and respected.

    In simpler words: an environment where they belong.

Umm, we might not get on if…

You want a final draft in your inbox tomorrow. Or a neat strategy document on your desk by next week.

Every word is an opportunity, but it takes time and a whole lot of research to choose the right ones.

You swear you can “make people rich” by selling a course that actually makes you rich.

I’m all for being bold and disruptive, but we won’t work unless you’re purpose-driven and ethical too.

You don’t have time for collaboration.

When I conjure up copy, I work alone, but you’ll need to spend some time providing input and feedback.
