Summary
Mark Davison is an editorial copywriter and external communications manager with 10 years' experience crafting thought leadership, executive positioning, web and social content for major brands. Currently shaping Vodafone UK’s self-publishing strategy, he combines strategic messaging with hands-on copy — from speeches and scripts to social and newsroom features. Previously a principal writer at Edelman, he led multi-million-pound client work, scaled editorial teams and ran training to spread best practices across EMEA. Comfortable switching between long-form thought pieces and punchy earned/social copy, he pairs creative storytelling with data-informed content decisions. Trained in English literature (MSc, Distinction) and polished by newsroom-style deadlines, he brings a strong editorial sensibility to corporate reputations. Outside of agency life he curates a public portfolio of recent work that highlights both tone versatility and a knack for improving brittle LinkedIn bios.
