I am a Thai Native Speaker; full-time home-based freelancer. Currently, I am living in Auckland, New Zealand. I graduated in English Business Major for a Bachelor's degree and an International Business and Marketing Majors for a Master's degree from Bangkok, Thailand. I did a lot of translation freelance jobs in general subjects included textbooks for earning while studied in a University. I also did the translation and interpretation for companies where I worked in a Secretary, Sales Executive and Branch Manager Positions. I have been gathered a lot of technical terms from my reading and working experiences such as IT (software and hardware), Engineering, Logistic, Jewelry, Accounting, Financial and MLM topics. My fast typing skill in both English and Thai languages is an advantage for doing the translation jobs. I am passionate about translation because I can read and work at the same time. Therefore, I don’t mind to work on a small project with a service mind, time management and good perspective. Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact me.

I’m a marketing manager turned freelance marketing consultant & copywriter. I can do the following to help improve your SME’s marketing: * Create marketing plans that give you marketing “road maps” to follow. * Act as your part-time or contract marketing manager. * Project manage marketing campaigns plus other marketing activity. * Write web pages, ads, emails, blogs, brochures, and sales sheets. Before becoming a freelancer, I was marketing manager for a company with 49 locations throughout New Zealand. And as a freelancer, I’ve worked for auto repair… construction… professional services… manufacturing… e-commerce… and health supplement businesses... and more... I'm a big fan of direct response marketing and copywriting.... and have completed many of the training modules inside Copy Chief and The Aspen School of Copywriting. I'm likely to be a good fit for you if: * You just want to focus on running your business… and are looking for someone to take the day-to-day “doing” of marketing off your hands. * You use… or are open to using… direct response marketing and copywriting. (I.e., marketing that’s measurable and tracked). * You are a realist. You know there’s no marketing “magic bullet” … that success depends on getting many things right… and that this can take time. * You have a sense of humour - you take your business seriously, but not yourself. And here are 6 further reasons for considering working with me: 1) I don’t claim to know it all. Instead, it’s all about combining what YOU know about YOUR business with what I know about marketing. 2) I have formal marketing qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK) and the Marketing Association (NZ). 3) I’ve worked in marketing for 18 years. As both an (in-house) marketing manager and a freelance marketer helping SME owners. 4) I have knowledge of direct response marketing and advertising – the sort of measurable marketing and advertising every SME owner should be using. 5) I’ve spent the past 6 years working with SME owners, so I “get” the challenges, frustrations, and obstacles you face when it comes to marketing. 6) I’ve also worked in sales. As a result, I understand sales and marketing are, really, just different sides of the same coin. It’s all about getting leads, then turning those leads into sales and customers. If you’re interested in what I’ve outlined here… why not contact me now while you’re still on this page? Even if it’s to arrange a short, informal chat. I look forward to speaking with you soon… SIMON P.S. If you are in New Zealand and work “crazy” busy hours... I’m happy to have an initial chat with you in the evening or during the weekend. If this works better for you, please let me know.

Hello there! Jon Kay, cartoonist-at-large, here - I have considerable experience in a wide range of design, illustration and cartooning, story telling and animation techniques; both as a freelancer and as a student of Yoobee School of Design in Auckland, New Zealand. At Yoobee, I have gained qualifications in both graphic design and film making; so I know my way around following client briefs, page design and layouts, pre-press, research and idea development; as well as developing a firm grasp on the importance of planning, attention to detail - and, in many cases, not backing down until a particularly frustrating design challenge has been overcome! In my time in Yoobee’s film-making courses, I have created stories and scripts(both serious and comedic), storyboards and concept designs for short films, music videos, animated TV intros and motion graphics assignments (both my own and working in a group); as well as developing both hand-drawn and vector art assets (characters, props, backgrounds and title screens) for several short animated films, and bringing them to animated life using Adobe AfterEffects and the brilliant little plug-in DUiK. My freelancing work and personal projects also rely heavily on my illustration and writing skills: among other things, I have created parody advertisements, comics and character art for the Fight Squad project; multiple comic strips and comic book stories for my pop-culture-savvy series Cosmos; gig posters for the Auckland-based ‘ukulele collective’ Four Dollars Thirty; and am one chapter away from completing my sci-fi / adventure / humour-drama novel Island of the Bargain-basement Dinosaurs! How’s that for diversity? I love coming up with and developing ideas, and finding creative ways to make a story, character or situation that little bit different - anything that fires my imagination, I’m all over it.....
