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.

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.”
Lloyd Harrington Australia
Website copy
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.”

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.
Australian Institute of Professional Education
Website copy
This leading college in North Sydney, who offers diploma courses to both international and local students, required a complete website content overhaul.

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.

Kogan's, Painting Contractors
Website copy
To take the business into the next stage of growth, Ranald Kogan requested a website overhaul and complete re-write.

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.

Website copy

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.
