Service bundles for content creation and marketing

When we start working together, the first step is for you to tell me what I need to know. I’ll have you fill out a short questionnaire. This focuses your attention — and mine — on your needs and on where you want my help. Once this groundwork has been laid, it will make our time together more purposeful, more effective, and perfectly attuned to your needs.

These are the service bundles you can choose from:

• 60-Minute Bundle (3×20-minute consultations) for €350 — Three short sessions to spark new ideas and help you discover a newfound creative passion for your future writing and content creation.
• 180-Minute Bundle (3×60-minute consultations) for €550 — Three deep-dive sessions in which we figure how to make content creation fun, creative and effective for you. Besides written content, we’ll also cover topics for audio and video content and where to look for inspiration.
• “The Works” Bundle for €5,300 — A full makeover for content. I comb your content for the unique, authentic essence of your brand, then add structure and context. You'll get a content strategy including a sample posting schedule for the next two months to enhance the impact of the content you put on your social media channels.
• “On Demand” Bundle add-on for €225 — Six 10-minute calls (60 minutes in total) for you to ask quick questions that don't need a full session. I'll be on call and happy to help. What's on your mind? Ask away!

A Czech special: Web content localization

In terms of strategy and content consulting, I can work with almost any language as well as their combinations. But if you want your website to present itself in perfect Czech, you’re in the right place to be served something extra:

As a native Czech speaker, I can translate into Czech and also localize your content. And why am I the right woman for the job? Because I offer localization and content marketing in one: As I prepare your website to dive into the Czech Republic, I advise you on content strategy to make sure you make a splash.

• 60-minute consultation for €199 — one-off or repeat consultation
• long-term consulting and copywriting coaching — price depends on the duration
• copywriting and copy editing — price depends on the duration and the type of copy
• jargon decoding — price depends on the duration and the type of copy
• CopyAkademie.net — my content creation courses in Czech
• How to Write Copy — my online course for beginners in Czech

My story as a professional

In 2007, I started as a web editor in Czech Radio’s foreign-language service, where I also later worked as a journalist. This experience gave me a solid foundation for managing multilingual web content. I first dipped my toe into freelance writing and content creation in 2012 and went freelance full-time in 2015.

Over time, with the support of my freelance colleagues, I began to specialize in copywriting and content management, creating web content, promotional materials and press releases. Another highlight was doing interviews with clients; aside from making for great copy, these chats (connected with rewritten interviews) were an opportunity for my clients to take a step back and re-evaluate their careers.

As a freelancer, I created websites in collaboration with web designers, marketing strategists and graphic designers. I helped put people and projects together and worked with colleagues and clients to identify target groups. I like connecting people, including my clients, with colleagues and other contacts. Long live networking!

My past experience feeds into my current role as a copy editor and web content consultant. Depending on your needs, I can also give recommendations on your overall content strategy, perhaps with PR in mind. I make your content work harder and smarter for you by making sure it does its job and speaks to the right audience. You get to tap into my wealth of insights and industry experience to add value to your content.
