Hi, I’m Alicia Kacar. I’m the founder of Tea & Copy and (fingers crossed) your new copywriter.
I love learning and writing about your business. Your customers, values, goals, people, products and amazing services. I want to know all the delightful details that make your brand unique. However, I know you’re on this page because you’d like to learn more about me. I’m sure you have a million questions, like:
Put the kettle on, kick back, and let’s get acquainted.
Writing has always been my jam. In Grade 3, I won my first writing competition and had a story published in the local paper. In secondary school, I aced English and was fortunate to gain a scholarship to Uni. I studied a Media and Communications degree and graduated with High Distinction. That was in 2001, and I’ve been writing professionally ever since. For the first 15 years, I worked in-house for iconic brands and organisations. As well as being the resident copywriter, I also worked as a marketing gun, PR manager, media queen and comms guru. It was quite the ride. In 2016, I decided to fly solo and start my freelance copywriting career. I figured great copywriting shouldn’t be reserved for big corporations with bottomless budgets. Small businesses, coaches and creatives need top-shelf copy too. And that’s what I deliver at Tea & Copy. Refreshingly good copy, made to order.
My mission is to make your brand more recognisable, more memorable, and utterly irresistible – like an Iced Vovo on a plate of boring Scotch Fingers. I do this by writing colourful words that cut through the marketing clutter. Connecting with your readers is my priority, so I use a conversational tone that’s warm, friendly and easy to read. My writing sounds so much like you, even you’ll wonder if you’ve written it.
I capture big ideas that give your brand meaning. I’m not just talking features and benefits – those are part of any copywriter’s arsenal. I’m talking catchy concepts, clever themes and stories stickier than a cinnamon bun. And I do all this while infusing your copy with tasty SEO goodness.
As a graduate of Kate Toon’s Recipe for SEO Success course, I know how to satisfy Google with carefully optimised copy. I also love telling stories and rolling up my sleeves for research. Hiring me is like having a whole marketing department on your team without the long-term commitment or cost. Here are a few more reasons why you’ll love working with me:
EXPERIENCED – I have 15+ years of copywriting experience and a proud portfolio of work.
STRATEGIC – I steep myself in your business and stalk your competitors to ensure your copy stays fresh.
CREATIVE – I help you stand out from the crowd with fresh, fun, colourful words. Say bye to boring copy.
ORGANISED – I have a spill-proof, water-tight copywriting process and always deliver on deadlines.
EFFECTIVE – I help you increase traffic, leads and conversions with smooth (never sleazy) SEO copy.
FRIENDLY – I’m approachable and easy to work with. I make the process fun.
WORTH IT – I don’t promise the cheapest rates, but I do promise incredible value.

I work mostly with established small businesses, coaches and creatives, but I enjoy working with agencies too. Being part of a virtual team is more satisfying than a hot mug of tea on a cold Melbourne morning. Just like my tea collection, I like variety in my work. Writing about new topics keeps things fresh, but I’d be fibbing if I said I didn’t have favourites. Here are some my specialties:
I’m based in Melbourne, but I work with clients in Sydney, Brisbane and beyond. Find out more about my services below.
