About Maria

This added value you bring on board:

No text is more sustainable in us than one that inspires our imagination.
If positive emotions are also evoked in the reader, thensympathyand atrustadvance are guaranteed!

I always adapt my writing style individually to the company, the target group, and the purpose. I particularly enjoy bringing serious, informative, technical, and scientific formats to life.
After all,every reader should feel addressedand **understand the message**.

But for the message to be effective, it must first arrive!
For this, I have sharpened my strategic skills in addition to text creation. Therefore, bothcontent strategyincluding SEO, website presence, and social media, as well ascontent writingcome from the same pen.

~~~~~

Let's discuss how I can support you and bring your project to life!

*We can also use the informal 'you'. ;)


My most important tools:

Storytelling- What many don't know: In the commercial field, storytelling is in the details. Often, space or purpose does not allow for building a story with characters and a plot. Therefore, every single word counts and what it triggers in the reader.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)- Always up to date on current algorithm developments. I research keywords carefully and place them effectively. Don't worry: Keyword stuffing is now penalized by Google. Modern SEO focuses on smooth readability and engaging content.

Media Psychology- I use the know-how from my studies mainly for strategic editing - whether it's about the entire content strategy or the structure of a single text.

New

AI Proofreading- Will the text be effective? Difficult for laypeople to recognize. I offer proofreading for AI-generated texts - with prompt engineering for training your AI if needed.

    Storyboard Development & Editorial Conception for a B2B E-Learning App

    For a digital learning platform in the B2B sector (Haufe Sparks), I conceptualized interactive, text-based learning units on business-relevant soft skills. Based oncommunication psychology, media psychology**, and my academic background in Applied Psychology, I developed **thematic concepts**, wrote **storyboardswith a clear **storyline**, and transformed complex content into comprehensible, practical, and entertaining **learning formats**.

    The focus was on the creative combination of **storytelling and e-learning**: learning content was made vivid, memorable, and motivating through narrative elements. In addition to content development, I was also involved in proofreading and supervised storyboards from other authors as part of editorial quality assurance.

    A project that ideally combined conceptual thinking, creative writing, and psychological know-how – and was particularly fulfilling for me personally.

    In my ongoing collaboration with Malt, a leading B2B platform for freelancers, I am responsible for a variety of content projects – from conception to implementation. I create SEO-optimized articles, revise existing content, manage it in the CMS Prismic, and editorially oversee diverse formats.

    Projects include:
    – two feature articles for renowned magazines (e.g., on AI and freelancer potential),
    – a sustainability report based on interviews with experts,
    – regularly translated and localized newsletters,
    – articles and LinkedIn posts about webinars,
    – onboarding checklist for interim managers including visual copywriting (e.g., LinkedIn banner texts).
    - Creation and/or translation of white papers

    Furthermore, in close collaboration with Malt and sevdesk employees, I am developing an e-book specifically for freelancers starting out – including advisory content, practical assistance, and conceptualized AI prompts to support them at every step with ChatGPT.

    The collaboration is characterized by trust, personal responsibility, and content versatility – a project that ideally combines strategy, creativity, and editorial sensitivity.

Maria is an excellent copywriter who has supported us primarily with localization and content creation in the international context. She works cleanly and reliably; it was a great relief to hand over content projects to her and know that they would be processed to a high standard.
