Hi, I'm Kieran Tie — freelance copywriter, brand journalist, and fierce neurodiversity advocate.

Most brands sound like they hired the same copywriter. I help mission-driven companies find what's actually interesting about them and turn it into words people remember. Clients keep coming back — either they’re gluttons for punishment, or I’m pretty good at it.

Brands hire me when they can't articulate what makes them different, or when everything they write sounds like it came from a committee. I help them figure out what they should sound like when nobody’s watching over their shoulder. I also partner with design studios and agencies who need brand voice, positioning, or editorial work for their clients.

  • Most companies sound identical because they're terrified of sounding wrong. I help you figure out what your brand actually sounds like when it's being honest, then document it so your team can stop second-guessing every sentence. Voice guides, tone frameworks, messaging hierarchies — whatever gets everyone speaking the same language.

  • If you can't explain what makes you different in one breath, your customers definitely can't either. I work with founders and marketing leads to find the angle that makes people lean in instead of tune out. Sometimes that's a positioning doc, sometimes it's just finally landing on the right way to talk about what you do.

  • Your company has good stories buried in customer conversations, founder origin myths, and the weird problems your product actually solves. I dig them out through interviews and turn them into case studies, feature articles, and content that doesn't read like a press release.

  • Website copy that doesn't make people's eyes glaze over. Email campaigns people actually open. About pages that sound like humans wrote them. I write the words that need to exist for your brand to work — landing pages, product descriptions, campaign copy, whatever needs doing.

  • “Teaming up with Kieran made me step back and think 'Oh, so THIS is what's it's like working with a total pro.' He’s not just on the ball; he’s ahead of it, meeting deadlines, nailing edits, and keeping everything shipshape. Can’t wait for our next project!”

  • "Kieran is the definition of professional. His incredibly organized process made me change the way I work with all other contractors. He's a solid writer and I'm SO glad to have him on our roster!"

I also write about neurodivergent freelancing — because most business advice wasn't built for brains like ours. I focus on what actually works: ND strengths, better systems, and building sustainable careers and businesses that work with how we're wired, not against it.
