Hey, hi, howdy and hello.
I'm a British but Netherlands-based copywriter and creative strategist with over five years of experience.
I've worked on B2B communications as well as magazines in the tech and entertainment industries.
I'll bring personality and energy to your content, helping you reach readers around the world, inspire action and grow your brand. And throw in a pun or two.
Oh and if you ever want to talk movies with someone, grab me during the coffee break. I'm your guy.
My areas of expertise
Aside from making a stellar cup of tea, here are some ways that I can support you and your team/business.
Content creation
Creative strategy
Copy editing and proofreading
From concept to execution, I have experience in every part of the content creation process. I can bring visual inspiration to life through copy, reflect a key business initiative through a blog article or social post, help you script an important video announcement and more!
I'm able to tell a cohesive story across multiple platforms. I have organized senior stakeholders on how to get best out of comms channels. I am able to create consistently high-level content across the year to keep my audience in-the-know. And I feel confident in my ability to maintain a consistent tone of voice and identity throughout my work.
The bread and butter of copywriting, I'm very confident (and all too happy) to reduce word counts, sharpen text and make sure your tone of voice is maintained throughout content. Every apostrophe, comma and colon will be accounted for.
Portfolio - My experience
TomTom
As the Lead HR Copywriter for the mapmaker TomTom, I am responsible for writing all internal and employer brand-related content, including blog articles, emails from senior leaders and social media posts.
I maintain the TomTom tone of voice throughout all copy for Internal Communications and Employer Brand.
​
I also curate content for the internal platform, The Maps Hub, sharing news updates, articles and helping organize monthly check-ins for all TomTom'ers to see what TomTom's developer teams are up to.
Electronics Magazine
As sole editor of this B2B magazine, I was responsible for the writing and/or sourcing of all editorial for both the printed/digital copy of the magazine and Electronics' website. This covered everything from 5G to AI, and the latest technologies from Siemens, Sony and more.
​
I would speak to or interview key stakeholders from different companies, curate all content and design the magazine using Adobe InDesign.
​
FilmHounds (previously VultureHound) Magazine
I have and continue to be involved in numerous parts of FilmHounds.
I was Editor, curating and proofreading articles and interviews for publication. And I interviewed filmmakers myself, like The Theory of Everything director James Marsh.
​
I have also managed their Letterboxd profile, uploading content like reviews and articles.
Finally, I contribute content of my own, including reviews of the latest films.

His ability to capture the different tones for various audiences and channels is bolstered not only by his creative expertise and mastery of the written word, but also by his humility and desire to take on feedback and grow.
His charisma inspires those around him, his character positions him as a natural leader in any context, and his humor breaks down all barriers with anyone with whom he works and connects. Both your work and your work-life will benefit from proximity to Christian."
Chris Todd, Communications Manager
"Having employed Christian as Editor of Electronics magazine in my capacity as Director of Editorial at Datateam Business Media, I was very impressed with how quickly he adapted to the new role. Demonstrating a willingness to learn, Christian easily grasped the concept of writing and editing straight to page, and the technicalities of magazine layout using Adobe InDesign. This allowed him to make the most of his creative talents and really put his own stamp on the publication.
Christian is a great communicator, whose ability to easily get on with people enables him to quickly build strong working relationships with contributors, industry connections, PR agents, advertising clients and his company colleagues. I’m sure that his drive to succeed, enthusiasm for communication and flair for creative writing will see him enjoy a successful career in his chosen field."

"Christian brings considerable knowledge and craft to all his work. A great team member who writes with passion."
