What Stratton Craig does

Stratton Craig is a privately held B2B copywriting and content marketing agency founded in 1987 in Bristol, United Kingdom, now headquartered in London with additional offices in Bristol and Singapore and a stated operating footprint in 22 countries. The firm delivers professional services across four core pillars: Content Strategy Services (planning, audits, governance, competitor benchmarking), ESG & Reporting (annual, sustainability, CSRD, and integrated report copywriting), Content Writing (corporate websites, SEO/GEO copywriting, social media, thought leadership, internal communications), and Tone of Voice development (style guides, brand narratives, copywriter training). It serves enterprise clients across ten vertical sectors including financial services, technology, energy and resources, legal, construction, retail, travel and leisure, healthcare, automotive, and education, with named customers such as De Beers, Citroën, AXA Investment Managers, Swiss Life, McCain, CBRE Investment Management, Fastly, Sport England, Achilles, Thrings, Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank, and Superdrug.

The agency's underlying technology stack is predominantly human-led craft, augmented by SEO methodology and a newer GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) writing capability supported by an internal AI Taskforce that tracks developments in search technology; translation and transcreation are delivered in over 40 languages. The firm publishes thought-leadership assets including the 'Get It Done Guide', 'Keep it Real Guide to AI in Content', and 'Guide to GEO Visibility', and operates an inbound marketing funnel anchored on its own website, LinkedIn presence, webinars, and case studies.

Commercial operations run through three engagement models: Project Solutions for discrete assignments, Plan Solutions for ongoing content production, and Partner Solutions (plus a Content as a Service retainer) for long-term dedicated-team extensions with ringfenced resources. Stratton Craig operates as one of four agencies within the Positive Change Group, alongside Black Sun and People Made, enabling cross-sell into ESG advisory and stakeholder communications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, tailored to scope and scale. Leadership includes CEO Darren Clare, Account Director Roz Hutchings, Head of Copy & Strategy Claire Wilson, and specialist senior writers such as Ruth Wood (sustainability) and Anna Fozzard (tone of voice).
