About Miriam

What you get from me

An experienced professional who combines strategy, creativity, and execution.
I help brands, organizations, and teams to clarify their story and tell it well. Without noise, without detours.

Result: communication that is accurate, impactful, and drives action.

Why it works

I think first, then act.
I am analytical, quick to grasp things, and focused on goals and target audiences.
Before I start writing or creating, I want to know what keeps people up at night (or what they're not yet aware of). Only then do I create content that makes a difference.

Who I work for

My experience ranges from education and healthcare to retail, culture, B2B, and corporations.
I understand the dynamics of commercial environments, but also the sensitivities of non-profit organizations.
This combination ensures I can adapt quickly, with a feel for tone and context.

How I work

I am both a thinker and a doer: strategic at the core, practical in execution.
Deadlines are not up for discussion, but a fact.
I work with clients who are clear about their goals: because then I can provide direction, accelerate progress, and deliver quality.

What characterizes me

  • Eager to learn and always exploring innovation (AI, prompting, agents)
  • Clear, honest, and reliable
  • Focused on collaboration, not hierarchy
  • Equal, independent, and involved
  • Always focused on results and improving together

What I promise

I do what I say and say what I do. With me, you get someone who quickly understands what you mean, brings structure, chooses the right course, finds the best words, and ensures it gets done.

Experience

  • Communicatiebureau Swaans
    Communication strategist and advisor, senior copywriter, copywriter, content specialist, team leader
    January 2004 - January 2024 (20 years)
    Tilburg, Netherlands
    Communication is a game of content, strategy, and language that I've been playing for over 20 years.

    I work for brands and organizations that want more than just a message: they want to make an impact. Accelerate. With content as a foundation and often AI as an aid.

    I am a senior communication and content specialist, with a background in marketing communication and brand strategy. I help organizations in education, healthcare, retail, culture, business services, and B2B contexts to clarify their story and tell it well. From positioning to publication, from (content) plan to short and long copy.

    What I do:

    • Developcontent and communication strategies
    • **Write, edit, and create marketing and web texts**, interviews, blogs, white papers, and (digital) magazines
    • Translate strategy intobrand story, tone of voice**, and concrete **content formats
    • Concept development,storytelling, and campaigns
    • Internal communication, **employer branding**, and stakeholder communication

    AI expert in content

    In all of this, with client approval, I useAI toolsand prompting (ChatGPT, Claude, NanoBanana, Midjourney).

    My style? Strategic at its core, creative in execution. Also, I do what I say and say what I do.

    I write in the tone that suits a brand. Credible, clear, and human. I balance form and content. My texts are therefore enjoyable to read, clear, and achieve their purpose.

    After years of agency experience and running a business with a team, I now work independently. I am flexibly deployable, strong in content, and accustomed to switching gears quickly.

    Clients

    I work/have worked for all these organizations: CZ health insurance, IKEA, Royal Library, Coolblue, Linkedin, Bol, a.s.r., Marktlink, KARWEI, Waternet, Funda, Asito, PLUS supermarkets, Superunie, Slachtofferhulp Nederland, Tilburg University.
