Bilingual marketing services

Copy that sells across borders

Ideally, your marketing copy converts on an international platform. With SEO-trimmed articles for your website and blog, with emails or social media, I help you with that – both in English and German. Conveying the benefits of your product, researching the evidence, laying it out in an easy-to-browse structure, and plotting a narrative arc that has the reader go click” are only some of the elements of this work.

German and English copywriting all at once

Bilingual communication  
from a single source

Single-sourced solutions tailored to meet your bilingual communication needs and budget are yours for the taking. I’ve worked on a wealth of projects over the years and use this experience to make sure you get what you need, and more.

German and English copywriting

Your business must take centre-stage, your stories be heard loud and clear. Trained at AWAI, I bring out your underlying messages in English or German for an international readership to become intrigued and invested. Methods include high-converting SEO articles, strategically aligned email marketing and effective social media posts.

Editorial work

If you prefer writing your documents yourself, but need an editor to cast an eye over spelling, grammar, style, and word consistency, you've come to the right place. I'm able to draw on over 15 years of experience in the field, editing documents both UK and US English as well as German.

Translations and transcreations

I offer you speedy and accurate translations from German into English. Whether that's for your website, presentation, speech or screenplay – or something else entirely – I'm at your disposal at fair prices. I also offer SEO-optimised transcreations, which includes identification of suitable keywords for your site, so customers can find you quickly via search engines.

Voiceovers

Whether for your English-language phone messaging, for training material or roles in video games, films and documentaries – I offer you a strong voice trained throughout many years of choir and acting practice as well as current voice classes. All necessary technical equipment available in home studio. Am happy to send you audio samples upon request.

Copy questions

FAQ

When it comes to your translations, edits or search engine optimised copy, no question’s too small. If you have any that aren’t listed here, don’t hesitate to reach out.

I translate approx. 200 standard lines per day. Depending on the season, I'll get smaller projects over to you within the day. If you have a large project that needs to be delivered quickly, I have a network of colleagues I can share the job with to ensure speedy turnaround.  

Yes! I offer both SEO transcreations – loose translations of your copy with relevant keywords woven in – as well as copywriting for websites and blogs that take all other relevant aspects of SEO into account. It usually takes a month or two before the copy is found on search engines.

Of course I can. In addition to the work samples that you'll find on this page, I'm happy to send you other examples that might be more closely aligned to the project you have in mind.

Happy customers

Tessa Hellbusch is perceptive, precise and highly conscientious. She has a wonderful way with words in poetic language as well. It’s a pleasure working with her for my presentations and books.

Susanne Wind, Artist

Tessa, amenable, great attention to detail, clear grasp of the tasks at hand. Quick delivery of documents in high quality, too. Within one or two days after commissioning her, she’d already sent us back the copy for our social media channels along with comments that have helped us polish up our image to the outside world. We’re bound to use her services again! Highly recommended! And at very fair rates, too.

Sandra Herdering, CEO S.HE Business GmbH

Tessa has been working with CargoLine since 2012, initially as an editor for the English version of our biannual magazine. Due to her innate sense of language, we later entrusted her with the translation of the magazine – which was a very good decision, as it turned out. Tessa is thorough, delivers punctually and takes the time to understand the articles – which is what leads to the high quality of the translations. Also due to her open, friendly disposition, I can’t recommend Tessa highly enough.

As the level of difficulty in texts will vary, I can only give you an accurate price once you provide me with an idea of the type, length and subject matter of your desired text or audio file. Below a guideline for the wider parameters.

I bill copywriting, editorial and voiceover work on a project-by-project basis with the rate previously agreed upon in writing.
