I don't mean to brag but I know quite a few words and I am quite good at putting them in order and sounding quite eloquent. 

Wanna reimagine the way you write for your biz with aligned, authentic and valuable messaging that your dream client wants to read, engage with and act upon? Let's chat: bee@vivatramp.co.uk ✉️

Copywriter and Content Writer

Vivatramp 

Writer, photographer, email answer-er and resident one-man band, at the creative lifestyle and book blog 'Vivatramp'. 

My corner of the internet to share creative advice, adventures, bookish-related content, bits of poetry, favourites, and more. 

Blogging taught me that, unlike in the early 00’s, it was totally okay to have a whole host of ‘internet friends’. I’ve also learned a hell of a lot about content writing, personal branding, social media, sticking to deadlines and collaborating with brands. 

Speaking of brands, I collaborated with many over the years, from publishers like Penguin and Faber and Faber, to the Bookseller’s Association on their yearly ‘Books Are My Bag’ campaign. 

Everything I did at Vivatramp was about inspiring people to live a more creative (and bookish) lifestyle and it was a total joy.

Hello, I'm Bee Higgins. I'm a creative copywriter, content writer and messaging mindset mentor based in Somerset, UK. I help creatives and small business owners unearth their messaging magic with confident, heart-led copy and content. 💌: bee@vivatramp.co.uk. 

🌸

You want to stand out in the field of well-worn platitudes, tired tales, and articles written for algorithms, but you can't do that with your current copy, content and creative mindset. 🤔

Combining soulful storytelling with purposeful prose, I'll work with you to write thoughtfully crafted words that position you as the go-to, foster deep connection, spark the imagination, soothe restless minds, and inspire action.

I'm all about business owners expressing themselves with purpose, passion and personality. I'll empower you to find your flow, unearth your unique magic, and design an aligned approach to writing that's rooted in intention and feels GOOD!

🌸

From coaches to therapists, gin makers to shop owners, photographers to celebrants, I've worked with many mindful mavens to help them wax lyrical about their work and attract kindred clients.

I’ve designed a signature selection of ways you could work with me to welcome more perspective-shifting confidence, ease and expression into your messaging -  my group membership, 1:1 creative consultations, 1:1 mentoring, and done-for-you copy and blog content offerings.

🧊 When I'm not at my desk, you’ll find me reading secondhand books, padding the village fields with my dog, and seeking poetry in everyday moments. I also love crisps.
