"Five years ago, Pieter Jan walked into our Pubmarket! ad agency offices. And he never left since. No matter the type of assignment we send him, he professionally writes it into a piece we are very satisfied with. His flexibility, discretion, reachability and pace of learning a new industry or client are strengths any ad agency can use."
Anouk Bemelmans, Pubmarket!
We met "PJ" randomly at a logistics fair in Antwerp. Turns out he was doing exactly what we were looking for. A week later we met in our offices and discussed "How Titans Work". He understood every aspect of our story clearly, which showed in the copy for our website and brochure we are still very happy with. The copy shows perfectly how we act, and helps us time and time again when prospecting for new clients."
Peter Huybrechts, Titan Cargo

He thinks proactively and strategically with the projects we send him and fluently writes what we expect, always with the the target audience in mind."
Dorien Breels, Markedeer

About Dutch Copywriter
Hello. My name is Pieter Jan Ghysens, 34 years old, born and raised in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. After a master’s degree in marketing at the Catholic University of Leuven and a couple of first work experiences, I started a copywriting company in 2015, helping Belgian companies sell more with crisp, clear and consumer-focused on- and offline copy.
Recently I noticed I got more and more questions from non-Belgian companies to help them enter the Belgian and The Nederlands market by translating their existing copy into Dutch. This makes sense: the first and by far most important step in consumer-focused communication is ensuring you speak the language your customers speak on a daily basis.
After a bit of Google research, it showed that even copywriters themselves sin against this basic rule. Go ahead, try it yourself and Google “Dutch copywriter”. 90% of the result page shows websites written in Dutch. That’s why I created this English website alongside my Dutch one focusing on the Belgian and Dutch market.
Unless you are located in the UK or the United States, I’m sinning against this rule as well. If I were 100% thorough, I should have written this website in hundreds of different languages. Sadly, my knowledge of Polish, Spanish, Chinese or whichever your native language is, is a bit subpar. So I decided to go with English anyway and hope you will forgive me 😉
That I might not know your industry or market? That doesn’t matter at all. I’ve been delving into new industries and markets I never heard about before for five years now. Researching what competitors are doing, discovering what drives potential customers. Only after this preparation, I start to write. Customer-centric. Focused. Convincing. And always on time.
