Our words. Your message.

I’m Samantha Charlton, Take My Word’s Director – and content creator!

Effective online marketing is about capturing attention, connecting with potential customers, and converting that interest into action. Not as easy as it sounds.

I learned my trade as a web writer for the University of Otago (Dunedin, New Zealand). However, I had already worked in the communication field for years, as a language teacher, translator, and freelance editor and proofreader. At Otago, I learned to use a blend of content writing techniques (key-words, front-loaded sentences, bulleted-lists – just to name a few) to keep visitors reading, and to encourage them to take the next step.

Over the last five years, I’ve helped a number of clients successfully grow their businesses online.
