“A talented, creatively astute copywriter, Stella is an ideas person whose writing is characterised by its flair, craft and attention to detail. It’s this that makes her such a fantastic copywriter to partner with, particularly when an idea needs a deft creative hand to help bring it to life appropriately in German. Stella is one of our go-to people when it comes to advertising and communications projects, both large and small, and the icing on the cake is that she’s an absolute pleasure to work with too.”
Stella Waltemade
I’m Stella, a copywriter and creative translator. I’ve been reading between the lines to craft compelling German content since 2008.
I specialise in advertising, marketing and voice-over.
About Me
As a freelance copywriter and translator, I have over 10 years experience and work with a wide range of clients from start-ups to household names. With a background in journalism and years as a film researcher, I know what it takes to create eye-catching material and find the right words to go with it.
Years living and working in the UK and US give me a valuable insight into the British and American cultures. I understand exactly where these cultures align with and differ from my own. This knowledge is what will set you apart.
I spend my days writing or translating content for websites, brochures, newsletters, and much more. I also provide voice-over translations for various studios and media businesses and work as language director.
Whether I’m writing for an ad campaign or adapting creative English content for maximum impact on the German market, you can count on my passion and proven experience.
I hold a Master’s in Political Science and Sustainability Studies and a Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
About You
Are you a small or medium business or international brand? A translation or advertising agency? A freelancer? A voiceover or dubbing studio?
I’ve worked with clients from almost every sector including fashion, sports, tourism, food, technology, IT, automotive, charities, health and entertainment.
I can help you charm your clients with professional copywriting and creative translation for all your marketing tools. From short copy to long copy, from digital to print and from the informal to the more serious.
Services
Looking for creative translation, copywriting or cultural consultation? Here’s how I can help you find your voice in Germany.
Copywriting in German for compelling websites, brochures, newsletters, product descriptions and SEO campaigns, including keyword search.
Transcreation goes beyond the original material, adapting it to evoke the same response in its new audience. This conceptual, culturally-sensitive approach is best suited to creative content in advertising, marketing and corporate communication.
Script translation for voice-over ensures that your words are precisely timed to fit the source material. I’m a skilled audiovisual translator for commercial and corporate productions, documentaries, scripted reality programming, and more, and I also act as a language director for voice-over projects.
Cultural consulting: You need a native, in-country expert to get ahead of your competition? I can help you find your feet in your new market.
Copy editing for that finishing touch. I check your German copy for style, spelling, punctuation and all other elements to ensure the best possible first impression.
Whether I’m working as part of your team or on my own, you’ll always benefit from my expertise, creativity and discretion.
