B2B copywriting examples
Here are a few B2B copywriting examples that I'm proud of - both in terms of the output and the outcome. This is a very small sample size from more than ten years of work, so if you'd like to see a specific format, industry or audience please feel free to reach out.
Trend Analysis eBook
Funnel Stage: Awareness
Target Audience: B2B marketing and event managers
Objective: Engage audience on the value of virtual events by analysing and interpreting data on their growth across EMEA
Context: As part of LinkedIn's relaunch of its own events feature, it conducted a survey of EMEA marketing and events managers and asked me to present and analyse the findings via a freely downloadable eBook. It was a really enjoyable challenge to build a narrative around the findings and I was pleased with the resulting final version, which remains on the front page of LinkedIn's marketing resources

Website Copy
Funnel Stage: Consideration / Conversion
Target Audience: Highly educated researchers and information professionals in global academic institutions, corporate R&D departments and pharmaceutical companies, with a focus on Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand
Objective: Position Altmetric as a unique solution partner while succinctly explaining the specific benefits of its products to each audience, ultimately driving sales leads
Context: As part of a complete rebuild of its online presence, Altmetric wanted to streamline its copy to deliver a more polished, professional experience. Its old copy didn't reflect who the company was as a business, it didn't adequately explain the value of the products available or provide clear calls to action to generate enquiries. This was a challenging project with multiple products aimed at different audiences, each with their own motivations and barriers to action. The finished website now provides a clear user journey for Altmetric's distinct target audiences, with individual key messages designed to nudge prospects towards requesting a demo of their preferred product

Technical Advertorial
Funnel Stage: Consideration
Target Audience: Water and wastewater plant managers
Objective: Explain in detail the technical benefits of LG NanoH2O™ reverse osmosis membranes for plant managers seeking to reduce operation and maintenance costs
Context: This piece of copy required an extremely high level of technical detail, presented to an expert engineering audience in a persuasive format without being salesy. It first acknowledges the challenges faced by the audience before presenting empirical data that explains how the client's product can help address them. It uses industry-specific terminology and references that reinforce both the expertise of the company and the impact of the solution

Lead Magnet eBook
Funnel Stage: Conversion

The success of this pilot campaign format led to it being rolled out across a number of the client's other target industries
