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.

Do you need a compliance-driven bid specialist who understands that winning multi-million-dollar public sector contracts and framework agreements is about methodical evidence gathering, scoring thresholds, and strategic narrative? For the past three years, I have worked as a dedicated bid writer for a UK-based management consultancy, managing complex RFP submissions for global lottery, rail, and charity organizations. In the highly competitive global lottery sector alone, I have developed over a dozen major bids, securing wins on more than a third of them (with several currently in evaluation). My approach combines strict procurement compliance with high-level corporate storytelling. With a 20-year background in journalism, publishing (10+ books), and brand strategy, I know how to distill massive volumes of dry, technical data into compelling, highly scored executive summaries and method statements. Why partner with me for your next bid or framework? Framework & Panel Expertise: I understand the mechanics of getting clients onto public procurement frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems. I am relentless about gathering the required corporate policies, financial data, and case studies to ensure compliance guarantees remain intact. Legal & Compliance Fluency: I am highly au fait with legalese and processing complex, high-volume documents. Early in my career, a satirical branding campaign I created resulted in a trademark lawsuit from SABMiller; I took them to the Constitutional Court and set an international legal precedent for freedom of expression. I do not get intimidated by complex terms, conditions, or strict evaluation criteria. Strategic Overflow Capacity: Based in South Africa, I operate on the exact same time zone as the UK and Europe, and provide an overnight turnaround advantage for US-based consultancies. I step in seamlessly when an open framework drops and your internal capacity maxes out. I am pragmatic, highly efficient on deadlines, and I know my em-dashes from my en-dashes. When I'm not untangling public sector procurement portals, I balance my writing with cold-water plunges in the Witte River from my home in the Bainskloof mountains. If you need a reliable, heavy-hitting writer for your next major tender or framework application, I'm your guy.
