Looks like you’ve reached my website, so welcome.
My name’s Jack Oughton, I’m a freelance writer/copywriter and journalist in Croydon, South London. I also go by the name of Koukouvaya (Greek: 'Owl').
This is (quite obviously) a website about what I do, which is writing. The purpose of this site is to demonstrate said writing. And so, if in need of a writer, you can read my cuttings and decide if I’m the right man for you.
And if you are not in need of a writer you can read my cuttings for your own amusement, and if you want, find out a little more about what being a writer entails...
So, who's trusted me with their words then? Here's what I've done so far...
I have written/edited web/print content for publications that include:
- FHM
- EMPIRE
- Computeractive
- The Independent
- The Guardian
- The Express
- IGN
- Q
- Yahoo!/Yahoo! OMG/Yahoo! Movies/Yahoo! News/Yahoo! Lifestyle
- AskMen
- Skiddle
- International Astronomical Union
- Designmynight
- Itchy City
I have written advertising copy for leading international brands, smaller niche websites and things inbetween. The list includes:
- Smirnoff
- Motorola
- The UFC
- Virgin Travel
- Flybe
- Unilever
So, why not say hello?
