Copywriting | Financial & ESG Reporting | Brand Communications
Vicky Hampton Copy & Content
British by birth but Dutch by choice, I’ve been living and working in Amsterdam since 2006. My projects have covered everything from finance to food, sustainability to software, and tourism to trade. Whether it’s annual reports for a private bank or editorial management for a start-up city tours company, I can help you hone the perfect paragraph.

Eating Europe is a culinary tour company operating in ten cities. As content manager, I was responsible for all written content, including the company’s websites, blog posts, newsletters, press releases, client brochures and so on.

Brand communications
Hooghoudt is one of the oldest, most famous jenever distilleries in the Netherlands. As a branding specialist, I’ve crafted messaging for their labels, website, press materials and manifesto.
Editorial management
As managing editor of I amsterdam Magazine (Amsterdam’s official tourist publication), I was responsible for commissioning articles, briefing writers, editing submissions and working with the designer to finalise the magazine using InDesign.
Editing
IDH is a Dutch NGO whose aim is to make commodities like tea, coffee and fresh produce more sustainable globally. As an ESG specialist, I edited their sustainability reports and annual plans for several years.
Copywriting
Using a blend of interviews and desk research, I wrote website and brochure copy about the Vrije Universiteit’s many Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes to attract students to study in Amsterdam.
Translation
Interall produces promotional products, gifts and giveaways for companies. My role was to “trans-create” their copy from Dutch to English. Rather than a literal translation, I assimilate Dutch messaging and recreate it for an English/international audience.
