Helena VDH.

Hey, I'm Helena!

I’m a multi-passionate Copywriter, UX Writer and Digital Marketer.

I’ll create engaging content to help your business grow, encouraging your audience to hit buy, subscribe or follow.

My absolute favourite clients work in the travel, fitness, mental health and self development areas. Multi-passionate, remember?

Grab yourself a coffee and check out my portfolio of awesome work, read my rave reviews and get in touch when you’re ready to start creating fabulous content together.

Want to know how hiring me works?

1. We have a lovely chat

You reach out to me using the contact page and we set up a convenient time to have a virtual coffee (or beer, I'm chill like that) and we discuss what you need, what your biggest challenges are and what goals you have for your brand, business, service or product. We set some expectations too, so we're always on the same page.

2. I start creating

After reviewing your brief, tone of voice and branding guidelines (where available), I'll dive into crafting your copy, digital marketing plan or UX writing strategy. With transparency as my mantra, I'll share real-time documents, fearlessly inquire about any uncertainties and give you regular updates about your project. Your satisfaction with my work is my ultimate goal!

3. You review and approve

You review my work and we check if there are any edits and discuss and amend where necessary. Once you're happy with the work, I'll send you an invoice, you send me some sweet cash and we're all bueno! Bueno is good in Spanish, did I mention I was a digital nomad?

      Catch the Sun Communications

      Helena has been an amazing find for Catch the Sun Communications. She’s a hugely valuable member of the team and an utter pleasure to work with. Her marketing is instinctive and her knowledge of social media is impressive. What she’s not sure of herself, she researches to find out, building up her knowledge as she goes. She’s an independent worker, a strong writer, and she always thinks creatively. She has fit right in at Catch the Sun!
