About Laurence

Hi, I'm Laurence!

I write bespoke web copy and content for coaches, entrepreneurs, and marketing and content managers. I mix conversion marketing, UX, SEO, and storytelling magic to help them truly connect with their audience and boost their sales.

I write in English and French.

My typical projects include writing:
- Website copy (Homepage, About Us and Services pages, etc.)
- Blog posts
- Social media captions/posts
- LinkedIn About sections

I am also interested in writing landing pages and sales pages.

I specialize in well-being, personal and professional development, business coaching, education, and training: these topics are connected by a sense of growth that matters to me.

That said, I happily serve clients in other industries as well. My clients' list includes companies in the fields of languages, sustainability, travel, and educational toys, for instance.

I also translate from English to French (and sometimes, depending on the project, from French to English).
There again, my focus is on web copy, blogs, and social media posts. I also translate marketing content like white papers and legal documents such as Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use (which you typically find on websites). I perform legal translation strictly from English to French.
I am not into highly technical work, so if that's where the bulk of your translation needs is, I advise you to look for a technical translator.

I love being creative, but my background in project management means I do have both feet on the ground. And that I am serious about deadlines ;)

I'd be happy to share my portfolio with you, so please don't hesitate to ask me for it.
(I have not uploaded it here on MALT because the requested photo/video format does not work so well to share full pages of copy).

  • Philips
    Communication Design Project Manager
    TECH
    December 2015 - November 2016 (1 year)
    Amsterdam, Netherlands
    I collaborated with a team of 8 designers to deliver online and offline projects.

    My main responsibilities included:
    • Scoping, planning, and monitoring projects and requests to meet deadlines, quality and budget requirements
    • Managing work allocation and production planning, combining method and flexibility to fit the changing business needs

    📌 What I enjoyed the most was a special assignment I got the chance to take on: as a certified Scrum Master, I coached a team on how to implement Agile Scrum as a way of working. I found it very stimulating to look at how the team was operating and identify how we could make it more agile in a way that would fit the various roles. Combining a good sense of analysis and creativity was key here.

    •Supporting customers and the project team in the definition and development of product requirements through to production deployment
