Meet Sophie Baker
Writing Content For Almost 10 Years
I draw on nearly a decade of experience in content writing and marketing to create content, which is optimised, useful, and which builds trust in your brand.
MY SPECIALISATIONS
I specialise in travel writing and content writing for equestrian, travel, food, and marketing spheres. My services include blogs, articles, features, and on page copy.
With over eight years of comprehensive marketing experience in both agency and corporate settings, I bring a deep understanding of SEO, digital writing, brand management, and PR. This expertise allows me to create content which supports your broader marketing goals.
MY STORY
Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, I’m a freelance writer with a dual focus on content marketing writing and travel writing. Brands and publications I’ve written for include the likes of Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), Thrillist, Good Housekeeping, Getaway, Horze, Food & Home, Flight Centre, Travelstart, Singapore Airlines, Kagiso Media, and more.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Journalism from Monash University in 2013, as well as an Honours degree in Communications and Media. My career has spanned roles from Online Editor at Jacaranda FM to marketing and communications for major corporate brands.
Over the last decade, I’ve worked as a freelance writer for clients in everything from personal finance to automotive. Alongside that, I’ve built experience working in Marketing, Communications, and content for both corporates and agencies. This includes stints at global telecoms brands, work within the insurance industry, and time spent at digital agencies.
No matter the industry I’ve ended up in, my writing experience and my love for marketing have always taken me by the hand and led me back to content marketing and digital marketing. I truly believe that good content builds relationships, which builds trust. After all, nothing sticks in your head like a good story – not even a good campaign.
As a result, most of my work focuses on building your brand, developing content which is actually useful to your readers, and ensuring content is properly optimised for search – if that’s what you’re after. I’m experienced in WordPress, know my way around Google Analytics and AdWords, and can find keyword and content gaps with my eyes closed.
I’m also a keen equestrian, competing mainly in Dressage with some Showjumping on the side. Obviously, I love writing about anything equine and equestrian – and have the knowledge and understanding to write in-depth schooling and training articles.
