Do you copy? I do!
*Twiddles non-ironic bow tie*
If you’re a startup looking to up your game before you hit the investment trail, then you’ll want to make sure that you showcase your brand under the most favorable spotlight: online, offline, and everywhere in between.
You might have a game-changing AR app or the next knockout digital marketing automation service; but you’re bound to be up against some stiff competition -- in pursuit of the same pot of cash.

‘And you are…?’
Dave Barton: pleased to meet you *bows*. Been billing myself as a professional writer for the past 11 years. Started out in B2B PR and have evolved into a multifaceted page puncher with extensive experience across marketing, communications, PR, advertising, and social media.
Like a wordsmithing Ron Jeremy, I’ve pretty much done everything; from in-app microcopy to linguistic overhauls for fully functioning websites, as well as blogging, display ads, landing pages, press releases, white papers, video scripts. I’m also well versed in content marketing, social media strategy, and creating propositions, proposals, and pitch documents.
I’ve worked with a number of startups and related businesses; helping them hit on an individual style and tone designed to resonate with international markets.
Clients I've worked for.
AppAgent: a mobile marketing studio helping developers market their apps.
Arbitrip: an algorithm-powered, business travel-focused, hotel booking website.
Bookmate: an international mobile reading app, changing how we read and share content: one page at a time.
Favro: a collaborative software challenger brand, poised to disrupt the dominance of Trello, Basecamp, and Asana.
JoyLabz: a US-based consumer tech studio: inventors of a cool-as-Magnum PI piece of interactive hardware, called Makey Makey.
Locish: a now defunct (not my fault...) Greek food and nightlife-focused Q&A mobile app.
Tweetonig: a digital R&D studio creating IoT-enabled ‘connected’ devices.
‘Kay. Sounds kosher. What’re you offering?
