Case Studies – why you and I both need them

Case Study

I have been telling people for years that having case studies to showcase what you do is a good idea, and yet… and yet… there haven’t been any on my own website.

Until today!

Today, I have written a brand new Case Studies page, 6 case studies about my own clients, this blog, and a handy download explaining the basics of how to write case studies.

So why is it important?

The point of case studies is to showcase what you do, tell a story about how you did some great work for a client, and why they think you’re awesome. And once you’ve made that point, hopefully some of the people reading your case study will say to themselves ‘ah-ha! this is the person who can help me too’.

And it’s important to have a decent number of case studies, and keep them updated. Unless you provide exactly the same service, at exactly the same price, for every single one of your clients, then your potential clients might not hit on the work that you’ve done that most looks like them, if you only have a couple of case studies. Make sure you cover all your work areas, and several different price points.

If you’re not sure how this could work for you, then I can happily explain in more depth – how long have you got!!

Do you need some help making that happen?

If writing your own case studies is more than you have time for, or seems like a daunting project, then drop me a line. Aside from just having written 6 of my own, Summer 2024 has been The Summer of The Case Study, for me, with several different clients requesting this service from me.

I’ve interviewed people for a client who places high level consultants into healthcare settings, and I’ve had long conversations digging into the intricacies of their work with Matt at Retina Digital, and Ross at Shore Asset Finance Ltd – both of whom are so recent that the case studies haven’t made it live on their sites yet!

Come back in a month or two.

Rates and timescales

My rates for case studies are the same as my blog rates:

  • 0-250 words – £32
  • 250-600 words – £64
  • 600-900 words – £96
  • 900-1200 words – £1281

This includes researching as necessary, interviewing your clients if that’s applicable, time spent with you to establish what you want included, writing, and a couple of re-writes. I can look for stock images to include, if you need that, and will add things to a WordPress site, for a small additional charge.

If I have to track down clients and interview them, or if it takes a while to arrange to sit down with you, then it’s going to take longer than if we can schedule something later this week, and you have everything you need to hand. However, with a following wind, and if diaries align, I could probably create a couple of case studies for you within a week, and have a decent suite of case studies put together for you in a month or so.

“Working with Hannah Danson has been one of those quietly brilliant collaborations. The kind that doesn’t shout for attention but leaves a lasting impression.

Hannah brings a calm, thoughtful presence to her work. She listens deeply, not just to what’s said, but to what’s meant. That sensitivity shows in the stories she helps shape. Stories that feel honest, grounded, and gently powerful. She has a way of making people feel safe enough to share, and that’s no small thing.

She’s also quietly tenacious. Whether navigating a string of no-shows or coaxing clarity from a hesitant speaker, Hannah keeps going. Not loudly, but with purpose. She’s organised without being rigid, creative without being chaotic, and always generous with her insight.

What I’ve appreciated most is her instinct for what matters. She knows when a story needs space, when a quote sings, and when to let something go. That kind of editorial intuition makes her a joy to work with.

If you’re looking for someone who brings care, clarity, and quiet strength to creative work, I can’t recommend Hannah enough.”

“I approached Hannah to work on this project, as … I knew she would be the best person to use, with her experience and attention to detail…  She edited the text, …and in addition, she made a number of helpful suggestions about extra items which should be included, as well as sourcing that information.
We were working to a tight deadline and Hannah pulled out all the stops to complete the work in just over a week.
I couldn’t have been happier with the work Hannah did, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
