Flight Centre

Blog Articles

I devised a strategy for the Flight Centre blog that grew traffic to the section in the first year by over 500 per cent and by an additional 200 per cent in the second year. I wrote a mix of first-hand travel experience articles, interview-based pieces, news stories and research-based stories - all to inspire travel to great destinations.

Sanli

Website copy

This outdoor power equipment brand required a website copy refresh to further enhance the name Sanli as a supplier of durable domestic power products.

He crafted content that is easily-readable, subtly-persuasive and blended with our existing tone.”

As a leading recruitment agency, Lloyd Harrington elected to overhaul their current site and replace it with a slick and highly functional website. CEO Chris Grant-Foster said, “The day we went live, traffic to the site tripled! Lyndon wrote copy that effectively positioned our agency against our competitors. And with quality copy, we were swamped with clients and candidates. He worked effortlessly with a designer and developer to produce a website that we’re proud to use as a marketing tool.”

Blog Articles

Business Development Manager Jeremy Stone said, “Lyndon's great at taking quite complex ideas and translating them into a readable format that our clients appreciate.”

Groupon Australia

Website copy

The original daily deals site and according to Forbes Magazine the fastest growing company in corporate history, Groupon launched in Australia in February 2011. To distinguish this website from the competitors, I was required, as an in-house copywriter, to write the web-based editorial description of the deals in the same quirky, off-beat style as developed by the American creative teams.

This leading college in North Sydney, who offers diploma courses to both international and local students, required a complete website content overhaul. The challenge was to craft the language to inspire potential overseas students without isolating locals also interested in studying at AIPE. The copy I wrote was easy-to-read and inspirational in tone.

Website copy

This promotional merchandise agency required content for a new website that reflected their highly-personalised approach to business.

This boutique architectural firm required web copy that demonstrated their experience as architects, while at the same time was easily understood by the lay client.

He struck the balance effortlessly between architectural jargon and common speak.”

This call tracking provider wanted to provide its customers with practical ideas on how to make the most of the data that the software collects. I wrote blog articles targeted at marketers - so that they can gain additional insights that will directly affect their optimisation decisions.

Sweet Dr

Branding

This confectionery venture required an original and dynamic angle to effectively position themselves, in what is essentially a very traditional concept: selling sweets and confectionery. I developed a character around the brand and created a back story. I also devised quirky names for the individual products to keep the consumer smiling all the way to check out.

This start-up fitness company required original web copy that spoke directly to the target audience for each different service. Owner Paolo Baja said, “Lyndon effortlessly wrote copy that hit the mark across the site. He is flexible, creative and a pleasure to work with. His extensive knowledge of website development, SEO and how to drive traffic to the site was also really helpful.”

To take the business into the next stage of growth, Ranald Kogan requested a website overhaul and complete re-write. I positioned the painting company as one that remains true to its personable, honest family roots, despite its current formidable size and purchasing power. I took the website from zero presence in search engines to number one for important keywords.

Civilcraft

Website copy

As civil engineering contractors launching a new firm and therefore a new website, the team at Civilcraft required hard-hitting punchy writing that went to straight to the point. My challenge was to successfully blend engineering terminology with easy-to-read plain English so that the site invites reference from both professionals and everyday individuals.

This timber repair company required original web copy that positioned them as a quality service provider. Owner Jason Walz said, “I was astonished when only a couple of weeks after the site going live, it ranked impressively on search engines with so many pertinent keywords. Lyndon delivered engaging copy that also allowed the site to rank from day one.”

Cosmetic Laser Beam

Website copy and SEO

Hair removal is a highly competitive industry especially on the web. Within two weeks of the re-write, the site was ranking highly.

It was to my absolute delight that that is exactly what he delivered for some keywords.”

Le Bouquet Francais (LBF)

Google Adwords Campaign

LBF is a cable television channel broadcasting the best of French language programs. Their current google adwords campaign was failing to reach its targets but the company were unaware how to generate increased interest. I over-hauled the existing campaign and devised a new logically-structured campaign based on researched keywords. As a result the average cost per click from the google display network reduced from $0.72 to $0.68 and with more effective advertisments the quality of leads was much hotter than experienced previously.
