I’ve had many jobs in my days. I’ve often longed for secure employment, but in every temporary workplace I have learnt something new. It’s been a school of practice, which has made me flexible and a fast learner. Today I am very grateful for my broad knowledge.
Throughout my professional career I’ve mostly worked in marketing; updating websites, social media, and creating printed matter. Since I started taking my writing more seriously I’ve had jobs as a web editor, in SEO, content and UX writing, in translation, and online marketing. For some reason it felt natural to me to go from images to words. It’s still communication.
~ Online Marketing ~
In most cases there has already been a corporate identity in place and a marketing team working together. My task has been to implement what has been collectively decided. Online, I’ve been the voice of the client or employer.
A short list of things I’ve done: editing others SEO texts, written content and SEO texts myself, ordering and updating content, translating others work, updating websites, social media, creating newsletters in seven languages, managing webshops.
~ Content & UX Writing ~
I have written articles about cars, mobility, Berlin, film, music and theatre, about travelling, writing, finding your “thing”, spiritual subjects, healthy living, and more. I have mostly written in Swedish, but also in English. My German is good, but texts need looking over by a native.
These last 10 years I have had extensive training in translating, mainly English–Swedish but also German–Swedish. I could translate from Danish and Norwegian as well. What I do as a UX writer is described in this article, written when I first made the connection.
~ Social Media & SEO ~
Instagram is where I hang, and on Facebook. I am familiar with X (Twitter), LinkedIn and other social media platforms. The former two may seem old-fashioned, but it’s where most companies have a presence today and they need to go where the target group is.
As I’ve already mentioned, In my role as a content writer I know how to write SEO texts that rank well on Google.
~ Graphic Design ~
For more than 10 years I worked as a graphic designer in different business. My job was usually to closely follow the company’s corporate identity. I created flyers, ads, brochures, business cards, posters, backdrops, CD covers, and much more. Unfortunately, my time in Berlin meant to redirect my talents into writing. Therefore, I have lost much of my hard earned knowledge. But, I think I could quite easily reawaken them, if given the chance …
As you can see I know a little about everything in marketing and communication. If you have questions, please contact me.
