About Amber — The Wild Wordsmith

Hey, I’m Amber Badger.

I’m a multi-business owner, writer, podcaster, yoga teacher and former fundraiser. Most commonly found: nose deep in a book, watching Drag Race reruns or making shapes with aerial acrobatics.

OH...AND HEARTFELT, SOUL-DRIVEN WORDS ARE KIND OF MY JAM.

My Dad always told me that, one day, I’d end up working for myself. It’s safe to say that I didn’t expect *this*.

He would say it with an air of Del Boy - very wheeler dealer, very matter of fact. I always brushed it off. It wasn’t something that people like me *did*. I couldn’t imagine how on earth I would ever make a living not only out of words, but out of my own unique way of sharing and expressing them.
The truth is, I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. As a lil one, I would sit hidden away in my Nanny and Grandad’s attic room for hours on end. They were the only family members nearby me with a computer, and I would spend entire afternoons writing story after story, poem after poem in that oversized chair. Afterwards, I would print them out proudly, presenting them to my slightly biassed critics with a declaration that one day these stories would make me a *real* author.

Now, words are my career. It’s something that I still have to pinch myself about every morning. I studied the intricate layers of linguistics at University and then spent seven years creating impactful stories for charities and organisations around the world. Then, in 2019, I took the terrifying plunge into the world of running my own copywriting business.
And I’ve never looked back.
Here, I’ve found my calling.

Sprinkled wordy magic on 300+ brands from around the world

A decade working in communications with influential international non-profits

A compassionate and heartfelt writer who lives and breathes creativity

Conversational copywriting expert and soulful writing facilitator

WORK WITH ME

WHY NON-PROFITS?

After graduating with an honours degree in English Language and Communications, I spent a good ol’ chunk of time working with epic non-profits such as Alzheimer’s Research UK, Welsh National Opera, Southampton Hospital Charity and Learning through Landscapes. This focus on purpose-led organisations matters to me in my business today: I want my words to do good, and so I want to work with people and organisations who genuinely want to do the same. It’s as simple as that!

Be a part of the story…

Enough about me. Let’s talk about you.

I truly believe that we will be a match made in heaven if:

You understand the power of really good words and want them to form a core part of your non-profit
You’re up for trying something a little different (oh hello inner rebel, I see you!)
You want to work with someone who cares about your cause as much as you do
You want to hand the reins over to a communications expert so that you can get back to doing what you love

So, does this sound like you?

Let's get started

Dive in deeper…

I’m a big fan of cold water swimming

I’m a gal who has a mind that runs a million miles an hour. I’ve found an almighty solace in cold water swimming as it stills that noise. I’m lucky to be surrounded by plenty of swimming spots here in Hampshire and so you’ll often find me bobbing around either by myself or a local swimming group.
I'm a yoga teacher.

Alongside copywriting, I’m also a successful yoga teacher. My classes span from deep rest to aerial yoga and a fair old chunk in between. I love seeing firsthand the transformative impact of yoga for my wonderful students.
I’m writing a book.

I’ve been invited onto two *very cool* writing courses - one with the award-winning author Monique Roffey and the other with Curtis Brown Creative - and am currently part of an ongoing writing school with the truly wonderful author, Anstey Harris. I long for the day I can type the words THE END with pride.
Being an Auntie is my greatest joy in life.

Ask me what I’m proudest of and the answer will always be the same: being one hell of an Auntie. There is nothing I love more than my niece and two nephews. They light me up even in the toughest of times. I take my job as ‘Best Auntie’ very seriously.
