let’s get to know each other
I’m an experienced Melbourne-based copywriter and journalist, specialising in architecture, design, sustainability and travel content. You might have seen my editorial and branded work in publications such as SBS Food, Concrete Playground, Adventure.com, Urth Magazine, Treadlie and Assemble Papers.
Much of my time behind the desk is also spent working with leading local and international brands on everything from printed architectural brochures to digital travel guides. I couldn’t be prouder to call the likes of Japan Airlines, Pace Development Group, Imperial College Business School and Hotels.com just some of my past and present clients.
I’ve been working on this freelance thing for a while now as I’ve operated independently since 2017. Now I produce feature articles, interviews, blog posts, landing pages and social media copy for like-minded publications and clients looking to level up their content production.
If you’d like to chat about how I can help, fill out the form on my contact page or email hudsonabrown [at] gmail.com. If you’re just scoping out writers before launching your next campaign, connect with me on LinkedIn so we can stay in touch until you’re ready to produce the goods. Cheers!
