Jessy Assy

Copywriter

Name:Jessy Assy
Date of birth:December 15, 1989
Address:Berlin, Germany

My name is Jessy Assy Bissal and I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in English Literature (both with High Distinction). I have over 4-5 years of experience working as a copywriter/texter, over 8 years of experience teaching writing and research at the university level, and over 8 years of experience editing professional/academic/technical documents.

 

I have a good understanding of B2B and B2C copywriting: To be more specific, I have written content with both B2B and B2C customers in mind, each time considering the unique customer persona I'm addressing and being mindful of where they are on the customer journey so I can know how to address their unique pain points successfully. Lastly, I have a minor in Creative Writing and have also worked in so many different industries.

 

Some of the companies I've written content for include: A Creative Agency for Live & Corporate Events, a Pest Control & Food Safety Company, Photocopy & Office Suppliers, a Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Company with a SAAS, A Digital Agency, a Global Acting Public Relations Agency, a VPN service provider, a leading software manufacturer in the field of IT security, an Art Curator, a Virtual agent platform powered by industry-leading AI, a medical company focusing on paradigm-shifting advances in the life sciences, and many many more...

 

So, in short, it's safe to say I'm VERY comfortable writing in ANY domain, from the most technical to the most creative!

 

I also love learning more about each industry and constantly upgrading my writing and research skills to master the subject I am writing about.
