Sports shapes us physically and mentally, as much as being green and making sustainable choices is a way of life. That’s why when you’re connecting with a new audience, you need someone in your crowd who understands your target market and the industry you’re so committed to.
I’m here to guide, support and champion you at every step of your sports or sustainability journey.
I give your brand or enterprise an international voice with my content and translation services that promote collaboration, ethical business and a greener world for all.
WHO AM I?
Hi, I’m Marjolein (pronounced Mar-yo-lane) and I’m an award-winning translator, editor and copywriter.
It’s great to have you in my small corner of the globe! The first thing you need to know about me is that the environment is really important to me. I want it to stay the way it is today (as a minimum!), rather than getting any warmer and changing irrevocably.
That’s why with my business, I try to do my bit to be sustainable, green, and ethical too.
WHO DO I WORK WITH?
I work with sports and sustainability companies around the world. My job is to make sure they’re getting their message across in the most efficient way possible. I help them create impact reports, press releases, website content and social media posts.
My clients range from large global sports brands, to local sustainable enterprises and charities.
All the content I create is in English and I translate from Dutch, German and Russian into English, but I have a brilliant team I collaborate with for other language combinations, too.
WHY SPORTS & SUSTAINABILITY?
Well, sustainability because I want to be able to look my children in the eye when they grow up and tell them that I did my bit to preserve our environment.
And sports? I’m a fanatic swimmer (both in the pool and in open water), runner, cyclist, climber… well, you get the picture! Too many times I’ve seen poor translations of sports products created by people who clearly had little clue what they were talking about. It’s time to rectify that!
It was nice to meet you. Maybe you’ll introduce yourself, too?
“Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do.”
