AI slop is at a peak. Google noticed, and this month implemented their most paradigm-shifting SEO updates in 25 years.
This means your SEO content is either an asset or a liability. Most companies are building the second one. It's killing their SEO results and alienating their audiences, pushing them towards competitors who have optimized their content for LLM searches. As agentic search starts to accelerate, you're not in the conversation anymore if your blog sucks.
The game now is SERP impressions, not clicks anymore.
Good content still yields incredible results in 2026.
As SEO morphs into AEO and GEO, the rules are changing - but the game remains the same: be authentic, add value and unique insights, and your tribe will find you.
I'm a tech content strategist, writer, and editor with 15+ years of experience, two marketing degrees, and a copywriting diploma from the International Advertising Association. I've managed content operations for multiple companies, grown domains from zero to 50+ domain authority, and published over 1,000 articles on the fastest-moving technology sectors - crypto, Web3, DeFi, cybersecurity, AI, robotics, smart homes, and tech regulation. Clients include CoinMarketCap, Circle, SingularityNET, and Bybit.
My work has been cited by more than 20 American universities and referenced by US politicians including Senator Elizabeth Warren and the acting Comptroller of the Currency. That's what real EEAT looks like in practice.
I do the opposite of shortcuts.
I use industry-leading tools like Ahrefs and a proven editorial workflow to build content strategies grounded in real keyword data - not guesswork.
Every article is supported by keyword research, built for both human readers and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews), and backed by unique visuals when needed. If you need a content calendar, I run a full competitor gap analysis to find where your rivals are weak and where you can win.
If you want full automation, I can build it - niche research, content strategy, weekly articles on trending and evergreen topics, images, even video,. Or if you want internal capability, I can design the workflows so your team can eventually run independently.
I'm also available as a consultant, fractional Content Strategist or editor if you need strategic leadership without the full-time overhead.
Niche specialisations: Crypto - Web3 - DeFi - AI - Cybersecurity - Robotics - Smart Homes - Fintech - Tech Regulation
The question isn't whether you need great content. You already know you do. The question is whether you're going to trust your domain's long-term health to someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Hi, I’m Robin.
▪️ Award winning brand strategist and marketeer
▪️ MBA from Brunel University
▪️30+ years in marketing and consulting
▪️Helping businesses and independent professionals create brands with substance.
Brand strategy is positioning, not logos, colors, typography, and design.
Individuals and businesses come to me to define and articulate the core DNA and identity of their brands. Only once positioning is clear, can we translate that into a clear visual identity and relevant marketing, messaging, and content strategies.
Without clear brand positioning, businesses struggle to differentiate themselves. Marketing is fractured and inconsistent, messaging is off the mark, and the consumer is left with more questions than answers about your brand.
By analyzing your competitors and defining your audience segments, I’ll help you build a differentiated strategic foundation, sharpen your positioning, voice, and value proposition, and create clarity across every customer touchpoint.
My approach blends decades of proven thinking and practical experience with modern technologies to balance strategic rigor and logic with commercial grounded creative thinking and ideas.
My experience comes from working on global and local brands across a broad range of industries including personal brands, automotive, technology, retail, healthcare, media, consulting, engineering, financial services, energy, real estate, professional services, nutrition, and distribution.
I’ve worked with Upwork clients in the US, Canada, Uruguay, UK, Dubai, Netherlands, India, and South Africa.
MY OFFERING:
◼️BRAND STRATEGY: ▪️ Brand audits and situational analysis ▪️ Competitive analysis ▪️ Audience segmentation ▪️ Brand architecture
◼️BRAND BLUEPRINT™ Development: ▪️ Brand DNA: Purpose, Vision, Mission, Values, Positioning ▪️ Brand Identity: Archetypes, Personality, Promise & Essence, Tonality & Voice, Value Proposition
◼️BRAND ASSET DEVELOPMENT: ▪️ Business, brand and product naming ▪️ Brand taglines ▪️ Strategic messaging frameworks & Brand voice checklist ▪️ Brand Stories ▪️ Visual identity, website, and creative direction
◼️MARKETING STRATEGY: ▪️ Marketing strategies and communication plans ▪️ Funnel and channel strategies ▪️ Content strategies ▪️ Copywriting and website content ▪️ Email marketing ▪️ Thought leadership strategies ▪️ LinkedIn profiling and content strategies
The goal is always the same: Create brands with substance that connect more meaningfully with their audience and build long-term business value.
Brand In a Box™ will help you create your own Brand Blueprint and Messaging framework for a fraction of the price. This still includes some free hours of my time to guide you and make sure you get the desired outcome. See my profile below.
I am happy to work on a fixed fee or hourly basis, whichever works out best for you.
If you’re looking for a strategic partner to help clarify, position, build, or grow your brand, I’d love to have a free discovery call.
Best, Robin

Trends come and go, but what actually makes a brand work?
That depends on the people you're trying to reach — what they want, what they need, what makes them tick, and sometimes, what they didn't even know they needed.
My approach is simple: research properly, find the insight, sharpen the strategy and then make the creative do the heavy lifting.
I'm a Senior Creative Copywriter and Brand Strategist who works at the intersection of strategy, psychology, creativity and commercial thinking — turning complex ideas into compelling brands, messaging and campaigns that people actually remember.
After years working across global and high-growth brands, I've learned that the smartest strategy is rarely about following the crowd; it's about knowing when to follow it, when to challenge it, and when to quietly do something different.

Hello and welcome!
I am Marie-Berdine Steyn. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Thank you for taking a moment to review my profile here on Upwork.
I look forward to working with you soon.
💡 WHY WORK WITH ME?
Most businesses hire a website designer to create a "pretty" website and a copywriter for "good" words. The result?
A beautiful website that doesn't sell. In like nothing. For years on end.
Yip!
It hurts.
Has your sales been mediocre until now?
Few subscribers outside of your family and friends?
It burns excruciatingly painful when you feel like your hard work is not rewarded.
After almost two decades in business, I know this feeling of despair all to well.
For over 18-years, I've worked with businesses, managers, and brands, who believe they are doing everything 'right'... only to wait and wait and wait for results.
💡 THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL - EVEN SALES FUNNELS 😉
I help you bridge this enigmatic gap between what needs to be done in your business, versus what actually delivers results in terms of sales.

Additionally, I have years of experience helping new brands get started, and creating strategies that scales over time.
This is because, unlike a website developer you might hire who only create a website for you, or a copywriter who has never created a website, my background isn't just in branding, copywriting, marketing or websites, but in human psychology, the concepts of conversion, and my multi-disciplinary expertise across industries to bring everything together as a whole instead of fragmentation.
This hails from my years of personal experience working with high-performance brands in the USA, Dubai & Europe.

For over 18-years, I've worked with global brands across the USA, UK, Europe, Australia & Canada, such as:
✅Rilea Group (USA & Europe)
✅Xnergy Capital (USA)
✅Caldwell Family Lawyers (Australia)
✅ValueConnected (Netherlands)
✅Musoni Finance (Worldwide)
