Strategic Copywriters who Understand your World
For over 30 years, ambitious companies have trusted us to be their strategic partner when entering new markets or elevating their brand.
We’re experts at cross-border communications, with particular expertise in helping companies navigate UK, European and US markets. Whether you’re expanding internationally or strengthening your home market position, we ensure your message lands perfectly.
What We Do
We’re strategic copywriters and content creators who specialise in complex sectors. We transform technical innovations into compelling narratives that drive business results.
Our team brings together deep sector expertise with exceptional writing skills – we’re as comfortable crafting white papers on orthopaedic innovations as we are creating content strategies for cybersecurity firms. We understand why your messaging needs to shift between NHS stakeholders and private healthcare buyers, between defence contractors and civilian markets, between technical teams and C-suite executives.
Every piece of content we create is purposeful, precise, and perfectly pitched to your audience.
Our sweet spot? Working with life sciences, medical device, healthcare tech and B2B SaaS companies who have brilliant solutions but need help articulating their value in new markets. We’ve partnered with everyone from ambitious startups to established enterprises, and we know what it takes to cut through the noise.
Real Expertise, Real Results
Defence & Security
From tactical combat casualty care to body worn camera systems, we understand the unique demands of the defence sector. We’ve helped position everything from battlefield medical innovations to surveillance and training technologies, crafting messages that resonate with military and civilian decision-makers whilst maintaining operational security. We know how to communicate complex capabilities without compromising sensitive information.
Life Sciences & Medical
From cutting-edge diagnostic tools to surgical innovations, we understand the clinical world inside out. We’ve positioned everything from surgical devices to telehealth platforms, and we know how to balance innovation, regulation, and market adoption.
Healthcare Technology
From medical simulation systems to AI powered diagnostics, we’ve helped dozens of healthtech companies navigate the complex art of selling to both IT directors and Chief Medical Officers.
B2B Technology & Cybersecurity
Whether you’re selling enterprise SaaS or next-gen security solutions, we translate complex technology into clear business value. We know your buyers, understand their pain points, and craft messages that resonate from C-suite to IT department.

The Aitkens Media Difference
We’re not trying to be all things to all people. We’re brilliant at what we do: helping ambitious life sciences, healthcare and technology companies tell their stories, enter new markets, and grow their businesses.
In an era of automated content and AI-generated copy, our human expertise becomes even more valuable. Why? Because your buyers can spot generic content instantly. They know when they’re reading something real versus something manufactured.
Strategic positioning for defence audiences, crafting messages for healthcare decision-makers, understanding regulatory implications, knowing which messages resonate with venture capitalists versus medical directors – this requires genuine sector knowledge, cultural understanding, and the kind of nuanced thinking that comes from three decades of experience. We help you stand out in a sea of automated sameness with authentic, strategic content that actually connects.

Joanna Aitkens, Founder – “After three decades in this business, I’ve built Aitkens Media around a simple principle: brilliant companies deserve brilliant marketing. Not complicated, not over-promised, just strategic thinking and excellent execution that drives real results.”
I had the pleasure of working with Joanna from 2011 to 2019 as Aitkens Media managed our social media channels. Joanna and her team have an excellent working knowledge of a vast product catalog. While they wrote articles and posts for various topics (medical, general science and physics), I can especially recommend her to any business active in the medical simulation or healthcare markets. We have come to know Aitkens Media as a confident and professional agency. Joanna and her team were always happy to go the extra mile while being friendly, creative and adaptable. The team is really well managed and has worked extremely well with our teams around the world, supporting both sales and marketing (including multi language translations). Joanna has always been ready to offer practical and strategic advice to improve our presence on social media which led the right followers to our profiles. Thank you for many years of a fun and empowering collaboration. > Highly recommended!

We have worked with Joanna for many years. She is a pleasure to deal with. A true professional, Joanna is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Deadlines are met and information presented with clarity and attention to detail. We can highly recommend working with Aitkens Media Ltd.
Philip Daulby
Director - Philip Daulby Financial Management
“I worked with Joanna on a specific project to build my expertise and improve visibility in a particular area. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and – most importantly – so easy to talk to. Joanna really took the time to understand what I needed, offered great advice on the content and perspectives that would be most effective, and then delivered excellent work.
She not only met every deadline but also made the whole process enjoyable. I especially appreciated how she challenged my thinking in a really positive way and how thoroughly she researched an area she may not have had much prior experience with – yet made it sound like she had!
I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Debbie Holder
Owner and Clinical Lead - Occupational Health Services Ltd.
Joanna is brilliant to work with – easy to brief, full of ideas, and she quickly understands what’s needed. Her knowledge and interest in our business area means she can take complex topics and turn them into clear, engaging content without any hand-holding. She’s always on time, on budget, and makes the whole process really straightforward. Plus, she’s a great sounding board when brainstorming ideas. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable writer who makes life easier.
Clare Simpson
Head of Marketing - Reveal Media
Joanna contacted me regarding the development of a simulation model for physicians to reduce maternal deaths from bleeding after delivery. Joanna has an advanced understanding of anatomy and physiology, and she is quick to understand medical concepts that are new to her. If you are a physician with a new product, and need someone who can both understand your product and communicate its benefit, I would recommend speaking to Joanna.

[Aitkens Media] Put together an innovative presentation for us which was extremely informative, motivational and very well received by a group of delegates from across the UK. Very professional to work with and very flexible. I would have no hesitation in recommending to other organisations and would definitely use their services again in the future.

Working with Joanna has been an absolute pleasure. She understands our industry, quickly grasps technical topics, and turns them into engaging, well-structured content that speaks to our audience. She’s easy to work with, always delivers on time, and requires minimal input – making the process straightforward even when we’re busy. Joanna played a key role in creating content for our website and Test Labs annual, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.
