As a bilingual (English/Mandarin) content writer, editor and content marketing strategist, I help businesses and entrepreneurs capture attention, build trust and convert readers into loyal customers through compelling storytelling and strategies that convert.
My approach is simple: storytelling + strategy = growth.
I combine sharp, audience-focused writing with data-backed social media/SEO tactics to make sure your brand stands out in crowded feeds.
Every piece I create is backed by thorough research and tailored to your brand’s voice, so you get content that not only informs but also inspires action. With a background in sociology and marketing, I bring unique insights into human behaviour and market trends, making me especially effective at writing on:
- Social and environmental/sustainability issues
- Marketing and promotional materials
- Entrepreneurship and business strategy
- Education and career advice
- Lifestyle, such as food, health & wellness and gardening tips
What I can deliver:
- Social media strategy, planning and copywriting
- Website content that attracts and converts
- Blog articles that showcase thought leadership
- Email campaigns & newsletters that drive engagement
- Press releases & company profiles with impact
- Business proposals & reports that persuade
- Personal statements that stand out in applications
I also offer professional editing and proofreading, built on years of experience as a book editor at John Wiley & Sons, and trusted by publishers like HarperCollins.
Most recently, I was invited to work as an AI trainer on a variety of projects for major AI clients like Scale AI and Populii on data annotation and rating work, improving AI responses in the simplified Chinese language and comparing different AI models to determine which is better in terms of fulfilment, factuality, helpfulness, safety and presentation.
If you’re looking for a partner to help you:
✅ Build an authentic online voice
✅ Turn content into leads and sales
✅ Create a social media presence that actually drives business results and builds your network
✅ Finetune your content, web copy or manuscript
✅ Improve AI-generated responses
Send me a message or invite, and we can discuss how to bring your brand’s story to life.

Meta Ads Creative Strategist | DTC Supplements & Wellness
Singapore, Singapore

YOUR META ACCOUNT MAY HAVE MORE ADS THAN IDEAS.
If your last 20 ads all sell the same reason to buy, you may have created 20 executions of one idea.
That gets EXPENSIVE.
I help DTC supplement and wellness brands find stronger advertising angles, then turn them into Meta creative built around real buyer language, clear proof, and a reason to buy.
I’ve been doing digital marketing since 2005.
Paid ads. Websites. Email. SEO. Funnels. eCommerce. Conversion copy. Creative strategy.
Twenty-one years gives you a fairly big pattern library.
It also means I rarely look at a Meta ad by itself.
I look at the whole path from scroll to sale and ask where the real leverage is hiding: the angle, the hook, the proof, the offer, the landing page or the handoff between them.
🔎 HOW I FIND THE NEXT ANGLE WORTH TESTING
1. LISTEN TO THE BUYER
I dig through reviews, comments, communities, competitor ads and customer language.
I’m looking for recurring desires, frustrations, objections, buying triggers and phrases customers use without a marketer standing over their shoulder.
That usually gives us better raw material than another brainstorming session.
2. MAP WHAT YOUR ADS ALREADY SAY
I break your current creative down by:
✅ Buyer
✅ Desire or pain
✅ Angle
✅ Format
✅ Proof
Then I look for the pile-up.
An account can have 30 ads running while most of them make the same two or three arguments in different clothes.
That’s where I start looking sideways.
3. CHECK THE PATH TO SALE
I also look at what happens after the click:
❓Does the landing page continue the argument the ad started?
❓Does the proof support the promise?
❓Is the ad attracting one buyer while the page talks to another?
Catching that early can save a lot of money spent producing more creative around the wrong problem.
4. BUILD THE NEXT TEST
I compare what buyers keep talking about with what your ads keep talking about.
The strongest gaps become potential angles.
Then I turn those angles into hooks, scripts, statics, creative briefs, advertorials and testing directions.
Each test should teach us something useful.
Otherwise we’re just making more stuff.
🏆 SOME RECEIPTS
✅ One change in angle and hook helped reduce a campaign’s cost per lead from about $14 to below $6.
✅ Before specialising in DTC creative strategy, I wrote email campaigns that each generated more than S$70,000 in confirmed client bookings.
✅ I developed 100+ direct-response ads and scripts while working inside a performance agency.
✅ Six figures of live ad spend have run behind creative I worked on.
✅ My agency work included supplement, wellness and other performance-led brands.
Much of that work is protected by NDA, but I can share anonymised scripts, advertorials, static ads and strategy samples.
🧠 WHY 21 YEARS MATTERS
I’ve watched platforms come and go.
Traffic got more expensive. Funnels got more complicated. Creative formats kept changing.
People stayed surprisingly human.
They still need a reason to care, a reason to believe and a reason to buy.
So when I look at an account, I’m asking questions such as:
✅ Are we actually testing a different buyer belief?
✅ Are customers talking about something the ads barely mention?
✅ Is the claim doing more work than the proof can support?
✅ Does the landing page pick up where the ad leaves off?
✅ Did the last test teach us anything useful for the next one?
That wider view is especially useful when your team is shipping plenty of creative but keeps circling the same ideas.
🎭 ONE WEIRDLY USEFUL PART OF MY BACKGROUND
I’ve also performed more than 5,000 comedy, magic and ventriloquism shows.
A live audience is brutally useful feedback.
If the opening falls flat, you know immediately.
If the story drags, people start looking elsewhere.
No one blames the algorithm.
Twenty-plus years on stage taught me to earn attention quickly, make ideas easy to follow and change direction when the audience gives me a different answer than I expected.
Those habits come with me into hooks, scripts and creative tests.
WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH
✅ Meta advertising angles and campaign concepts
✅ UGC, founder, testimonial and VSL scripts
✅ Static ad concepts and finished statics
✅ Creative briefs and visual direction
✅ Advertorial and landing-page copy
✅ Creative audits and testing plans
✅ Next-round recommendations
BEST FIT
I tend to do my strongest work with brands that already have:
✅ A proven product or offer
✅ Active Meta spend or plans to scale
✅ Real customer reviews, sales data or past ad results
✅ An editor, media buyer or internal team ready to execute
WANT ME TO TAKE A LOOK?
Send me:
→ Your product page
→ Your best-performing Meta ad
→ The creative problem you’re trying to solve
I’ll tell you the first angle or message gap I’d investigate.
