@MightyFineCopy_ Hi Rachael! I cover beauty/digital culture/the influencer industry and the creator economy

Freelance writers: if you're on the lookout for new projects right now (content or copywriting) - please let me know what your specialty is in the comments below. Inquiries have started picking up lately - and I'd like to expand my network of writers to refer work on to if I don't have room or they're not the best fit for me :)

I recently explored the evolving world of beauty influencer brands for @ELLEUK and the risky business of creators commercialising their followers, as audiences are increasingly wary of being constantly sold to. Read it here:

The UK government's report on the influencer industry is out today and a must-read for anyone working in digital. I gave evidence to the committee behind this in Parliament and the changes proposed by MPs really could change everything. bit.ly/3N2Uw3g

Many publications are hesitant to embrace VR and the metaverse, but Tank Group (@tankmagazine and @becausemagazine) are taking a risk - and it's paying off. I spoke to Caroline Issa about Tank Group's new era for CORQ: app.corq.studio/dashboard/post…

Super excited to publish CORQ’s latest case study by @nikkipeach_ exploring how @mobkitchen grew from recipe videos and cooking challenges on TikTok and Instagram into an impactful media brand 🥘 corq.studio/insights/case-…

@messagejones @HearstUK Congratulations!

@harry_slater @Dazed Congratulations!

@frailfag @studyhallxyz Not time-sensitive, always keen to hear new pitches!

@LouiseWhitbread Is this pitch call time-sensitive or evergreen? I'd love to keep including it in the @studyhallxyz Opps newsletter.

Freelance writers! I’m looking for pitches for corq.studio - particularly well-researched comment pieces, case studies, features & trend reports on the influencer industry and the creator economy. Pls send any ideas to louise@corq.studio

Reframing the narrative is important - seeing ministers describe Ashling’s murder as a ‘truly shocking crime’ and a ‘tragedy’ - this is such tired language when there’s an epidemic of violence against women happening that we’ve been shouting about for years

@weischoice of course, comment pieces £100 (300-400 words), £350-£600 for features / in-depth case studies (with a word count no more than 1000)

@LouiseWhitbread can you share rates?
