Testimonials

Tristan Anthony, UK Homepage Manager, AOL UK
“Excellent combination of old-school journalism and latest social media skills. Highly reliable and always a pleasure to work with.”

Clare Hudson, Interactive editor Radio 2 & 6 Music, BBC
“Christine is a great asset to any interactive team – a well-organised producer, good writer, and a confident, enthusiastic communicator.”

Warren Chrismas, Editor, Yahoo! UK & Ireland
“Christine was part of the out-of-hours team responsible for updating the editorial content on the front pages of two of the UK’s busiest websites, Yahoo! and BT Yahoo!. The job is extremely demanding, requiring first-class copywriting skills, creativity, accuracy and more, all tested in a live environment.

“We set extremely high standards – and Christine surpassed them. She showed a good understanding of users, and was adept at absorbing information and following complex instructions. I’d have no hesitation in employing Christine again, or recommending her to others.” Find out more about the work done at Yahoo!.

Bill Carmichael, Lecturer and Course Leader at the University of Sheffield
“Christine is a innovative thinker who is always well prepared and organised – and she is fun to work with too. She has run sessions with both undergraduate and post-graduate journalism students on writing for the web and the feedback has always been very positive.

“Her style is friendly and approachable, but she is also very focused and rigorous and can quickly identify areas of weakness in a student’s work and help to put it right.”

Lisa Charlton, Marketing Manager, Workmoose Recruitment sites (Bauer Media Group)
“Whenever I need help with creative writing or developing a marketing communication strategy, I approach Christine as her work is dynamic, fresh and sells!

“Christine is a great copywriter and has really taken the time to understand our business, objectives and target audience. She delivers quality work at speed and to budget and usually within the first draft!”

Michael Grimes, Online Communications Manager at Citizenship Foundation
“I hired Christine to edit some web pages in line with a new style guide. She was diligent and fun to work with, inspired confidence and brought a welcome fresh perspective. I highly recommend her.”

Sue Keogh, Director, Sookio Limited
“Christine has a knack for producing sharp, entertaining copy – whilst always keeping her eye on those trivial little things like house style guides, legal issues and deadlines. She’s just the sort of positive, enthusiastic and creative editor I would recommend to other clients – in fact I already have!”

Becky Butterworth, Butterworth Photography
“Thank you Christine for your advice and support during our one-2-one training session. It was really useful to hear what I’m getting right so far and the tips/advice you’ve given me have really helped us structure our blog posts and social media titles. I know it must have clicked as our blog stats show a daily visit increase by around 25-50%.” Find out about Crocstar’s online writing training and workshops.

Kate Betts, Kate Betts Media
“I asked Christine to sort out my SEO… and she got my website from page 7 to the first page on Google. Great result!”

Jackie Thompson, Jackie Thompson Couture
“Christine can communicate! She can speak in ‘website’ language that I can understand! She gently took me by the hand and led me from an out of date website to a state of the art one. She introduced me to experts, Karl at Silver Birch who re-branded me, Hadrian at Crocstar who dealt with all the technical issues that I could never hope to understand and of course Christine herself who wrote wonderful words for my website. It was a very pleasant experience and I cannot thank the whole team at Crocstar enough, I think my website is wonderful.”
