I've been a copywriter, editor, and content strategist since 2023, with a marketing background that shapes my approach to every project. I write for both search engines and AI. SEO to rank, AEO to cite, both mean your brand gets the visibility you work hard to achieve. I don't just write to fill a page; I write to get results. When I first started, I turned $800 in marketing spend into over $20,000 in new business within three months. Engaging, on-brand, and built to turn a casual reader into your loyal customer. Here's what my clients say about working with me: "It was a pleasure working with Chloë. She is highly motivated and collaborative, always looking for ways to improve both her own work and the team's processes. She always responded quickly, provided regular updates, and jumped on high-priority tasks. I have no doubt she'll bring the same dedication, creativity, and team spirit to any future role." "Bringing you on board has been a phenomenal experience. From your initial pitch to your delivery, we've been impressed every step of the way. You've taken a hands-on approach and shown exceptional service and a human touch." "Chloë goes above and beyond. We've been working on a structured strategy since the project began, and she's helped drive it forward with new ideas, perspective, and energy." SEO strategy using tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and SurferSEO. AEO copywriting, woven in, so your content has the best shot at ranking and getting cited. Copyediting, proofreading, and fact-checking precision are standard.

I am a Johannesburg-based copywriter, content marketer, and e-commerce store owner, specializing in TTL copy for SEO/digital marketing purposes. Blockchain, crypto/DeFi, fintech, trading & investment, business, as well as scientific and environmental topics are my fortes. I also excel at website copy and specialized content projects, bringing many years of business experience and a massive general knowledge to bear on everything I produce. As a yoga and meditation practitioner, I write compelling copy for the health, well-being, and even religious fraternities. I offer a seasoned professional ability with great reporting and great results. Comments from happy clients say the rest.... "So refreshing to find someone who actually understands and knows how to write great sales copy!" "Excellent reporting, inputs, responsiveness... there is a planet of savvy behind Marc that shines through in all the right ways. Couldn't have made what we did without him..." "Marc not only gives great results, his dedication to innumerable rewrites and tweaking, and his commitment to my total satisfaction is something that I frankly don't think I've ever had from anyone else. Great service. Great attitude!"

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, I'm a generalist with 10+ years of experience across operations, project delivery, partnerships, business development, marketing and communications. Currently working with two B2B tech companies and open to an additional remote role or contract immediately. I do my best work when something's unclear and needs turning into a plan: a partnership proposal, a multi-stakeholder event, a piece of client-facing content, or a process nobody's quite owned yet. I'm as comfortable building or editing a web page as I am writing the copy for it. I'm personable and easy to work with, and I build real relationships with people across cultures and time zones. I use AI tools to speed up research, drafting and analysis, but the judgement and problem-solving are mine.
