About Adam Weitzer

A copywriter with a researcher’s curiosity.

I’m Adam, a freelance copywriter and editor in Melbourne. I write website copy, SEO content and cultural communications for creative agencies, businesses and arts organisations.

My work spans SEO briefs for StudioHawk and concert programs for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I’m used to getting into the detail, finding the point and working out what a reader needs to know.

If you know your subject inside out but are struggling to explain it on the page, I can help.

From music and history to the words on your website

I came to copywriting through music, history and research. I studied Arts and clarinet at Monash, then worked in university teaching and cultural communications. That background comes with a useful habit: asking what makes a subject interesting, and how to explain it to someone encountering it for the first time.

A concert program needs to give an audience a way into the music. A product page needs to answer the questions behind a purchase. In both, the writer has to choose which details matter and give them a clear order.

My research was named Global Winner in Music, Film & Theatre at the 2020 Global Undergraduate Awards. I’ve also published peer-reviewed work. You can explore that side of my writing alongside the commercial projects in my portfolio.

What working with me looks like

You work directly with me, from the brief to the final edit. I can take a new piece from source material to finished copy, or work with a draft that needs better structure, a more consistent voice or careful copyediting.

We agree on the audience, deliverables, fee and timing before I begin. For agency briefs, I can work from your keyword research, brand guidelines and approval process. For repeat work, we can plan the volume and deadlines together.

My copywriting and editing packages set out the scope and prices for common projects. Articles, program notes and ongoing briefs can be quoted separately.

Have something in mind?

Send me a short note about what you’re working on, who it needs to reach and when you need it. An existing draft or a link to your website is useful, too.
