Dorothy Marton, Copywriter

About

I worked as a copywriter and editor at various companies within Europe and as a freelancer. Over the past two years, I worked as an in-house copywriter at a SAAS company. Here, I created a wide range of B2B content, including blog articles, e-books, webinars, case studies, and feature releases. I also wrote lead-generating website copy, newsletters, and sales materials. I work both in English and Hungarian. My profile is quite diverse, from technical to journalistic.
