Lauren Leyshon-Thomas

Content Writer & Copy Editor

Hello there, I'm Lauren

A Cardiff-based writer and editor, experienced with producing original content for full-funnel digital marketing and printed publications. 

My content style is fully-transferable and I’m especially adept at making people smile (and sometimes even laugh out loud) when they read my copy.

I've worked within the UK's public, private, and third sectors, and have international content production experience from my time living in Tokyo.

On the weekends you'll need to run as quick as the 20 mph speed limit to catch up with me on my mini-adventures around Wales.

How I Work

With an eagle-eye for detail, you can trust me to take care of your brand voice, reputation, and credibility. 

Conversion rate and SEO best practices are embedded into all the content I produce, leading by data and insights whenever possible.

I'm confident at switching between American and British English, and have experience with translation management to meet your global audience needs.

My Ethos

I'm particularly motivated by producing educational content that cuts out jargon and welcomes the reader to make an inclusive, informed, and confident choice.

So whether you need B2B communications, a teeny line of UX microcopy, or a complete overhaul of your customer service comms – I've got you covered.

I look to make a difference to people's lives – so if your brand has a great story to tell – then I want to help you write it.

A-Z of Understanding Credit

At Loqbox, we care about breaking down the complicated jargon and demystifying money. We know that knowledge is power. So let us help you get started with this breakdown of the top terms to know:

APR

When you see APR written next to a financial product (like a credit card or loan), this indicates how much you’ll pay on top of what you choose to borrow in interest, fees, and any other charges that are added to the loan.

Budgeting
We know, budgeting feels like the least sexy thing to do with your money.

But getting on top of your finances and creating a monthly budget can make you feel ASMR-tingly good. Try to think of it less like a diet and more like a tool to help you feel in control.

8 Types of Dating App Profiles You’ll Encounter In Japan

Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Hinge, Happn. I arrived in Japan last year well-versed in the world of dating apps — and was pretty much done with them. But then after a month or two, half out of curiosity and half out of new-to-Tokyo friendlessness, I found myself climbing back onto the online dating bandwagon loaded with, well, cynicism, but also just a teensy bit of hope that things would be different.

Surprise! Apps here were a minefield of miscommunication and wires crossing in all the wrong ways...
