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!"

Hi, I’m Cleymand. I'm a Conversion Copywriter who crafts META (Facebook/Instagram) and Google Ads that get clicks and convert those clicks into sales. If your ads aren’t performing the way you want, you’re not alone. I help businesses like yours break through the noise with copy that speaks directly to your audience’s needs and motivates them to take action, without sounding salesy or pushy. Here’s what I do best: ✅Write headlines that grab eyeballs like a car crash. ✅Craft persuasive ad copy that turns browsers into buyers. ✅Use keyword research to ensure your ads rank and perform well ✅Deliver fast — often within 10 hours, so your campaigns stay on schedule I’ve written for Insurance, Mining, HR, Accounting, and small businesses. Boring? Maybe. Profitable? Hell yes. One of my clients gave me a 5-star rating. Not because I’m nice. But because my copy made their ads work. So if you want copy that just “fills space,” hire someone else. But if you want words that move people to action, then we need to talk. Send me a message. I’d love to help your next campaign crush it.
