Copywriter and Creative Translator of German and English

Content that Speaks Your Language.
Copywriter, former Googler, crime author: Writing and communication has been my life for the last 25 years. Online and offline. In Austria, Germany and Ireland.

When translating your website into German you will also need to

stay in line with your SEO strategy
create search engine optimized online copy

With my background in online advertising and recent certification as a Digital Marketing Professional, you can be sure that what works in English, will also hit the mark in German.

What I Do:
bi-lingual writer, translator, coach

Thanks to 25 years of experience in copywriting and search engine marketing, I understand the ins and outs of search-engine-friendly writing. And I keep constantly updated, with a recent certification in Digital Marketing. Living in Ireland since 2004 has also given the final polish to my English. So you can be sure we are speaking the same language.

Copy and Content

It doesn’t matter which channel you choose, good communication is entertaining, targeted and hits all the right notes. It’s an interesting chat that benefits both parties. Storytelling in this context is more than just a buzzword for me but a way of life, as I am also the author of multiple novels as well as short stories in German and English.

Creative translations and language adaptations English – German

Meet your German speaking clients and get them on board by speaking their language not only formally but also between the lines, being culturally aware and sensitive. Offer insights that only a native speaking writer will be able to provide.

Editing & Text Coaching

You already have copy or translations that just lack that little bit of oomph? I am happy to edit and tweak your German copy to perfection, and if required I will freely share my knowledge via comments and text coaching to support you in developing your own skills.

Search engine friendly online writing

Online content works differently than classic advertising copy. Provide your future customers with exactly what they are looking for, turning awareness into interest and growing a one-off purchase into a loyal long-term business relationship.

Keyword Research

Good online copy begins long before it is written. What does your target group want and how do they search for it? What matters to them? These are questions that can be answered by professional keyword research which makes sure your message reaches your future customers at the right time, and at the right place.

A Writer’s Life:
My Experience

I love the search for the perfect phrase and getting creative to get your message across. For over 10 years, my creative online copy and creative language adaptations have been translating the success of my clients from industries such as software, tourism and the hospitality sector into German and English. I support them in their internal and external communications, all through their journey, no matter where they want to take it.

8 Years of Copywriting

Write. Rewrite. Edit. Repeat. Working as a senior copywriter for various advertising agencies in Austria for brands such as Porsche Sports Cars, BMW After Sales, VW and Audi After Sales, SkiData Access systems and Nürnberger Insurances taught me high-quality communication in a classic advertising context.

6 Years at Google Headquarters, Dublin

Working for the German AdWords Team and leading various teams within the European Emerging Markets not only improved my English to close-to native level as well as my ability to work in a culturally sensitive way, but also ingrained in me the principles of user centric and search engine friendly online communication.

10 years as a freelance copywriter and translator in German and English

dot.comms allowed me to combine all my online and offline experience into my freelance business. Since late 2011, the company has been located in South County Dublin.
I am also a certified Digital Marketing Professional (Digital Marketing Institute, Dublin) as well as a certified coach (Coaching Center Berlin).

Under my pen name Ellen Dunne, I have successfully published multiple novels and short stories over recent years. Read more about Ellen Dunne
