Hello, I’m Bart, a Belgian copywriter

I live in Brussels, Belgium.

Pure copywriting, that is what I would like to focus on after 25 years as a creative/copywriter. That means headlines, baselines, bodycopy, scripts and formats (okay, that’s still conceptual work), social copy, content copy (also the 1,500 word articles), strategic copy (brand stories, brand manifestos, brand passports) and any other kind of copy you can think of. If it can be written, I can write it. In Dutch and in English. I also make adaptations (‘transcreation’ is such an ugly word, isn’t it?) from French and English to Dutch and from Dutch to English.
