Helen is the award-winning lead copywriter and creative director at Words for Breakfast, a copywriting agency in Auckland.

She has a background in creative advertising, with expertise in digital copywriting. During her copywriting training sessions, Helen shows professionals how to clearly and persuasively express themselves in writing.

I think it was perfectly tailored to my skill level. Helen was very engaging and clearly passionate about copywriting. I came away feeling much more confident in my writing and now have helpful tools to create engaging writing.

Brenna, Competenz, past attendee 2026

I really enjoyed the workshop. It gave me confidence and reassurance that I am using good practices as well as a whole lot of other useful knowledge. I found the content engaging and enjoyed Helen's way of presenting.

Leanne, GAS, past attendee 2026

I really loved how the workshop was run, it was easy to follow, and the examples were relatable to my work. Helen was incredible! She challenged our thinking, gave great feedback, and I walked away having learned so much. I’ve always loved the creative side of writing but have sometimes struggled to make my work concise and easy to read and that’s exactly what Helen helped us with. I’m genuinely excited to put it into practice!

Tayo, Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, past attendee 2025

The workshop was extremely engaging. The facilitator asked good questions and had a mix of teaching and practical examples for us to work on mixed throughout.

Georgia, Network for Learning, past attendee 2025

I had avoided taking any writing-type courses as I honestly believed I would never be able to do them and would look stupid. But this has given me SO much confidence and the know-how to crack on!

past attendee 2025

Loved Helen and her energy. Made all the difference.

past attendee 2025

Normally after a day long workshop, you can feel drained and overwhelmed, however I walked out of this one energised, motivated, and with tangible strategies that I could apply to my own writing. I was engaged and had fun the whole time!

past attendee 2024

As a designer who has moved into a hybrid role this workshop was an excellent opportunity to learn new editing skills beyond grammar and spell check.

past attendee 2024

Helen really knows her stuff, teaches it brilliantly, and makes it fun. We are all better copywriters already because of this workshop.
