Penryn-based marketing copywriter, David McGuire, has been invited to host his industry’s national conference.

David, creative director of B2B copywriting agency Radix Communications, will compere the 2017 Copywriting Conference at London’s Docklands in October.

This year’s conference is the fourth hosted by the national Professional Copywriters’ Network – bringing together hundreds of copywriters, marketers and strategists for talks and workshops about the art and science of copywriting.

As the day’s host and compere, David will introduce sessions from experts from all corners of the copywriting industry, covering everything from giving better pitches to driving more conversions.

“I attended the conference as a delegate a couple of years ago,” said David. “It’s a great opportunity to share ideas and learn something new about copywriting. It’s our industry’s highest profile event, with a high-calibre speaking lineup, so I feel rather honoured to be asked to be the overall host for the day.

“I hope it shows how much Cornwall’s getting recognised – nationally and internationally – as a centre for genuinely world-class writing. We’ve had big, household names and London agencies beating a path to our door, because I think people understand now what good writers Cornwall has. I’ll try not to let the side down.”
