Hi, I'm Michael. Your B2B Content Specialist for Tech, Construction, and Engineering

With over 20 years of experience as a journalist b2b content specialist, I've helped companies in tech, built environment, and constructTech turn complex topics into compelling content. As an industry-specific freelance content writer, I've also worked across HRTech, SaaS, hardware, engineering, and energy. Together, we build trust and generate leads through SEO-optimised content.

For most of my career, I’ve been writing for companies. But before that, I wrote over 1,500 news and feature articles for magazines and newspapers. Publications include TIME magazine, the Guardian, Building magazine, AJ, Building Design, and OnOffice, including in the newsroom. I don’t miss my editor breathing down my neck demanding a front-page story. Today, my many clients still benefit from my investigative, writing, and editing chops. 

Since then, I’ve worked as a B2B content specialist with more than 100 (and counting) great companies creating content together that entices, enlightens, and engenders sales. And I’ve built great relationships along the way. 

I call upon my two decades of experience with high-quality research and stats, getting to the marrow of the matter, and turning complex topics into compelling content.

My clients report increased site traffic, boosted SEO, and subscribers, leads, and sales. 

I’ll ship your click-worthy content from the Balkans or Istanbul. When I’m not travelling, I’m playing the guitar and singing or puzzling over Renaissance art and architecture and politics.
