Iain Aitch

I am a highly-experienced copywriter, ghost-writer and thought leadership consultant who works with everyone from blue-chips to start-ups and individuals. I am known for my work with senior leaders, founders and C-suites and have worked closely with them on op-eds, keynotes, personal branding and overall thought leadership profile.

I am renowned as a 'client whisperer', which has seen me working with agencies' most valuable or difficult clients, often rescuing relationships and maximising outcomes for both sides. I am also known for the quality of my thought and writing in areas such as AI, technology, data, education, architecture, infrastructure, the built environment, arts and history.

I have a track record as a journalist for the national and international press, as well as having written as myself and on behalf of clients for myriad trade and specialist publications. My work has appeared in the Financial Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph and Times of London.

Using extensive journalism experience, imagination, media know-how and ideation to create campaign ideas, stunts and publicity hooks for PR companies, businesses and agencies. I work with agencies from day one with a client or am brought in when creatives fail to have ideas to work. My ideas have been written about in the national and PR press, as well as being represented in documentaries on Channel 4 and Radio 4 in the UK. I was the first in the UK to arrange a flash mob.

Creating narratives for books, exhibitions, campaigns, websites and companies, using the skills I have established as a published author (Hodder Headline/Harper Collins) and journalist.

I have used these skills for everything from designing ways to navigate conferences or galleries, sets of speeches, booklets, website narratives, conference events. I have worked with large businesses, museums, galleries, non-profits and charities in this way, as well as with literary festivals, historic projects and start-ups.
