Brandy Cross
A freelance copywriter living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
I write for web and print – integrating intensive research, attention to detail, branding, and marketing – delivering content across a range of industries, to brands ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
I’ve worked as a copywriter since late 2010, when I took on an internship with Dallas-based Apple Copywriting. In 2014, I moved to the Netherlands, and in 2016, I registered my business with the Chamber of Commerce. Since then, I’ve worked with startups like Cyver.io, Versatech, and Finext, and big names like eBay, C&A, Schouten & Nelissen, and many more. I specialize in technical, research-driven content, because that’s what I love to do.
My professional skills include content, editing, search optimization, project management, research, and branding. And, I’m always excited to add to that skillset, whether on-the-job, or through personal development

About Me
I’m a copywriter, yes. But I’m also more than that. I love to read, cook, sew, and learn. I’m passionate about human rights and I frequently spend time volunteering. I’m crazy about yoga, craft beer, and plants – which I own over 100 of. I can put my feet on my head (easily). And, you probably wouldn’t want to hire me full time because of the added organizational expense of providing me coffee. I’m self-motivated, creative, conscientious – and several other words HR loves to hear but the rest of us don’t care about – but also sarcastic, demanding, and opinionated. I’m human, and, generally. that’s a good thing.
Agile and committed are two of many other positive adjectives which can be used to describe Brandy. She is extremely clever and has always solutions and ideas to add to any kind of situation. She is also a fantastic team player, who is always open to support colleagues when necessary. Having Brandy in a team is being sure that results are going to be achieved with quality, agility and excellence.
