Lay down your pens and let Copy Republic take up the struggle.
Our History
Copy Republic was founded in January 2008 by former Electronic Arts Managing Editor, John Featherstone. Created to service the copywriting, instructional writing and branding requirements of the fast-growing video games sector, the business quickly established a sizeable client list. Customers included publishing giants Ubisoft, SCEE, Square Enix, Bandai Namco and EA as well as a selection of prominent studios.
Word-of-mouth recommendations from a raft of satisfied customers soon led to projects flying in from outside the gaming sector. Today, Copy Republic welcomes work from all industries and is proud to count Audi, Nokia, Cats Protection, one of the world’s largest sportswear manufacturers and a range of international creative agencies as valued customers.

When I require the support of a writer again, I would have no hesitation in making John my first port of call.

John worked with me on a number of projects that included web copy creation and editing; brochure copy and video script editing. I always found John to be highly professional, diligent and creative. No job was too big, and he managed client expectations superbly. I recommend John to any company looking for this type of solution.

Copy Republic: A decade of freedom
Ten years have now passed since the glorious revolution that delivered this writer to a life of liberty. If you’d asked me how long Copy Republic would last when I attended my first kick-off meeting as a freelancer at Eidos’ Wimbledon HQ, I’m not sure I’d have predicted that kind of longevity. One thing I … Continue reading Copy Republic: A decade of freedom
The unexpected rewards of freelance writing
