Hello, I’m Patrick, an English copywriter

I live in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Hi, I’m an English copywriter in the Netherlands.

You want a copy and you want it now. It could be for online (websites, banners, emails or promos) or offline (brochures, print ads, mailers or letters) or maybe a complete campaign proposal including all of the above. Give me the task and you don’t need to worry about a thing. With twenty-five years of experience in both business-to-business and consumer markets, I’ll take on board what you want to achieve and get back to you with copy that solves whatever communication challenge you had. No hassle. No messing. No endless revisions. Just give me a call. Then consider it done.
