For Earth Based Causes
Hi, my name is Dom Bury. For the last 15 years, I have traversed the landscape of crisis, of Earth, of Ecology, of what it is, to be alive, as part of a humanity, as part of a civilisation, that is eroding the foundations of the Earth upon which we depend.
I have travelled for five years across continents, to the edge of the Arctic circle, and to the edge of warzones, uncovering people's stories, learning the roots of where we find ourselves, on the edge of collapse, and how we can, meet this unique moment of time, find common ground, humanity, hope.
And I bring all of this, my 8 years of copywriting experience, and my background as an award-winning eco-poet to support Earth-based causes, in creating epic, soul-led, impactful work.
WHAT I OFFER
I offer a number of pieces, to support Earth-based environmental causes to cut-through the noise of the environmental spaces.
Copywriting Services Across All Mediums
Core Purpose and Orientation Work
Brand Tone of Voice and Vocal Identity
Creation of Brand Assets and Brand Videos
For the brand assets, and brand video pieces, I team up with the creative agency US, that is dedicated to supporting projects and causes rooted in Earth in transition.
MY BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
I have worked in the fields of environmentalism and cultural change, and as a copywriter since 2015, for some of the world’s biggest brands, charities and earth-based start-ups, and have won numerous awards for my creative work.
