Adam Gale

business writer - journalist - editor -consultant

Who I am

I’m a freelance business writer helping companies to tell their stories.  

For a decade I’ve had the privilege to share conversations with hundreds of chief executives and founders, on and off the record. I’ve written for and engaged this same C-suite audience, including as editor of leading UK business magazine Management Today.

Since 2021 I’ve crossed the aisle to work directly with British and international businesses as a copywriter, content consultant and editor-for-hire.

What I do

As a business writer I specialise in C-suite and board level thought leadership. This ranges from weekly blogs to detailed reports/white papers, and even a rather snazzy book.  

My bread and butter is leadership, strategy, sustainability, purpose, entrepreneurship, growth, reputation, technology and the future of work, though as a committed omnivore I won’t rule out other topics.

I can also help craft company narratives, in a way that captures your personality, hits all your key messages, actually has a narrative and passes the cynical journalist’s sniff test.

As an editor and consultant I give direction and energy both to one-off reports and to ongoing content streams, such as blogs and newsletters.

This includes helping to define a compelling editorial proposition, constructing an effective content strategy and launching new channels. Examples include a regular print report on Britain’s high-growth businesses, and a vibrant media-style website for a leading executive coach.

As a freelance journalist I take the odd commission for long-form features and profiles, especially when it helps me learn something new.

My work

Most of my work is ghostwritten for clients, but I’m happy to provide examples on request. Here’s a sample under my name:

  • “Stars in their eyes: The trailblazers taking the next giant leap into space” - The Times, promoted feature/analysis

  • “Making mental health top of the agenda” - Silvercloud Health, white paper

  • “What if the Luddites were right?” - Management Today, column

  • “Halma: The best company you’ve never heard of?” - Management Today, profile

“Adam is a consummate professional. He’s a great and authentic writer, and a first-class editor too. Most of all, he is really good to work with and just gets all the difficult stuff done without ever complaining.

“My team and I have loved working with him, and no task was too small and no challenge too big. It’s my privilege and pleasure to give him the highest recommendation.”

— René Carayol, leading executive coach, author and speaker

“Adam’s edge is being able to translate entrepreneur and CEO stories into a form that engages, attracts, and grabs the attention of readers. He meets the readers where they are, with a deep and intuitive understanding of what they are actually interested in.”

— Jordan Greenaway, founder of Transmission Private and Profile
