    I'm a Senior Copywriter, specialising in crafting compelling creative copy for Travel, Tourism and Sports audiences in English and Spanish. My passion has always been words, language and communication, so getting to wrestle with them for a living is a pretty fitting gig. After studying International Business Management in Southampton and Avignon, France, I spent 4 years living & working in Valencia, Spain where I taught English full time and translated documents on an ad hoc basis. Having worked in Sales and Business Development on my return to England, I finally found my true calling in Marketing, more specifically creative copywriting. Nowadays, I’m well versed in writing for B2B, B2C and B2B2C audiences and my copy has featured in the national press, television and radio adverts and on billboards around the globe – from Australia to Puerto Rico. And as a SUPER passionate (dare I say slightly obsessed) American sports fan, I’ve even been lucky enough to write copy that NFL, MLB, NHL and NCAA audiences will have seen too! Day to day, I write brochures & flyers, advertorials, internal and external corporate comms, website copy (with SEO in mind), direct mail, conversion driving emails, organic & paid social copy, TV and radio scripts and DOOH. I have a particular love for creating witty headlines and slogans! As a result of my extensive writing experience and working for multinational companies, I’m able to work on multiple projects at once, maintain or alternate brand tone of voice, prioritise workloads effectively, meet tight deadlines, switch seamlessly between different regions/language needs and use time zones to my advantage. Credentials: - BA in International Business Management and Modern Languages - 6 years+ of experience in B2B, B2C and B2B2C copywriting in English and Spanish - Proven ability to write clear, concise and persuasive copy - Thorough understanding of copy nuances at the different stages of sales/marketing funnels - Well-versed in working with cross-functional teams based across the globe - Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills - Strong eye for detail - Ability to meet tight deadlines

    Hi, I’m Katinka — a B2B copywriter with years of experience writing the kind of words that make CFOs, CIOs, CEOs (and the rest of the C-suite) click — and keep reading. I do professional, strategic copywriting and editorial work across multiple channels — websites, campaigns, thought leadership, sales enablement, and the “this has to be crystal clear by Monday” bits in between. I’m used to working closely with C-level leaders and senior stakeholders, especially in consulting environments where the pace is high, the subject matter is complex, and the bar is… well, high. I’m calm under pressure, picky about the details, and always focused on what the copy needs to do. If you need sharp messaging, a steady editorial hand, and someone who can turn complexity into clarity — I’m your person.

    Distinction isn’t just about standing out. It’s about standing for something people can believe in. When brands live from the inside out – not just saying the right words, but proving them in everything they do – people feel it. They believe it. They trust it. It’s like baking a delicious pie – every slice, every bite, every moment should carry the same flavour. That’s how a brand becomes not just the one people notice, but the one they crave. I’m an award-winning Head of Copy & Content and shortlisted Senior Brand Strategist with more than twenty years’ experience helping global B2C, B2B and charity brands – and the NHS – find their flavour and serve it consistently, everywhere it matters. A regular freelance partner to agencies like The Gate London and Unreal Digital Group, I’m equally at home working directly with brands like bp pulse and Future First. My work has sparked rebrands and repositionings that have stood the test of time – and campaigns that have won a host of awards. Most recently, a Marketing Society Excellence Award with The Gate London team for SMARTY Mobile (VodafoneThree).
