Meet our copywriters: Will Thacker

A published author, screenwriter and playwright, Will is a wunderkind whose talent knows no bounds (within the zone 4 Oyster boundary).

Nott Copy has scoured the universe for the finest free range copywriters, and that space mission led us to Mr Will Thacker.

A published author, screenwriter and playwright, Will is a wunderkind whose talent knows no bounds (within the zone 4 Oyster boundary).

As a copywriter, Will has written for big brands in the worlds of finance (HSBC, Yorkshire Building Society, M&S Bank), insurance (Legal & General, Saga), fashion (TK Maxx), food (KFC, Ben & Jerry’s), charity (Fairtrade), tech (Trainline), property (Nested, Zoopla) and countless small startups, cheerful charities and Californian tech bros.

Will has written award-winning campaigns including ‘Digital PR Campaign of the Year’ at the 2023 UK Digital PR Awards for his work with Mindshare UK and Legal & General.

Will’s words have appeared in publications like the Financial Times and GQ. As a speechwriter, he’s ventriloquised masterful oratory for presidents, captains of industry and university vice-chancellors. He has ghost-written more thought leadership pieces than a poltergeist.

Will co-wrote the feature film England Is Mine, which screened in cinemas worldwide between 2017-2019, and continues to work as a script editor and consultant on film projects. He is a regular tutor at Central Film School in London, where he teaches a screenwriting class. You can read more about Will’s books and films at thrilliam.co.uk.

As a Nott Copy stalwart, Will has written fun and playful blogs, smart professional websites, eye-catching brochures, high-brow mission statements and low-brow puns. From the witty and wacky to the sober and serious, where there’s a Will there’s a way.

“When Rachel first approached me, I thought she was a chatbot,” Will explains. “As time went by, I realised she was not only a human being, but an excellent one at that.”

“Outside of Paprika Pringles, I rarely endorse products. But Nott Copy is the real deal. Not only is Rachel an excellent writer, she is smart, diligent, hard working, and operates with class and integrity.”

“Before writing a word, Rachel will go the extra mile to understand your business, listen to your needs and do it justice with meticulously crafted wordsmithery.”

“If you need professional writing services, using Nott Copy is a no brainer. And I’m delighted to be part of the flock.”
