Lena Desmond copy writer and content marketer smiles at happy clients

Hi! I’m Lena — 

I provide copywriting & content marketing services proven to generate clicks and customers.

What’s on offer

SEO content writing

In a sea of content, most copy sinks. I create high-visibility blogs, reports, and eBooks that consistently rise to the top. By creating SEO-optimized, strategic content that’s a pleasure to read, I’ll drive organic traffic to your website, while establishing thought leadership and educating your audience.

Conversion copywriting

Good copy communicates. Great copy converts. I create catchy copy that turns clicks into customers. Whether you need copy for your website, landing pages, products, ads, social media, courses, newsletters, or emails, I’ve got you covered.

Content strategy

Feel like you’re creating content for content’s sake? I’ll work with you to create a scalable, achievable content plan that aligns with your goals and meets your audience where they’re at.

Ghostwriting

Have great ideas, but struggle to put them on paper? Let’s put my words under your byline. I’ll transform your thoughts into a publication-ready article that reads like professional storytelling but feels unequivocally like you.

Speech writing

Stage presence isn’t born. It’s written — one sentence at a time. I’ll turn your bright ideas into a TED-worthy speech that captivates audiences from hook to mic drop so you can take the stage with total confidence.

A little about me

  • I have over 15 years of content consulting and copywriting experience working with B2B and B2C businesses. My clients run the gamut from billion-dollar multinationals to the mom-and-pop shop next door.

  • From iguana hunting in Nicaragua, to sofas for small spaces, to effective ESG reporting, I’ve covered every topic from the highly technical to the delightfully obscure. Finance, extreme sports, software, furniture, gift boxes, martial arts, travel, eCommerce, tech, rowing — you name it, I can write it.

  • You’ll find my editorial work in esteemed publications like Forbes, The Huffington Post, CFO.com, Accounting Today, and Outpost Magazine.

  • Lena has been writing articles for Nautical Commerce for over two years, and she's an absolute joy to work with. Not only is she a talented writer, but she also takes the time to thoroughly understand the subject matter of every article assignment. I'm always confident in her ability to tackle any topic, no matter how niche. Plus, she's an excellent communicator, which I really appreciate and makes working with her a breeze!

  • I brought Lena in to flex her creative muscle on a university website overhaul, and she delivered. Every line of copy and meta description was original, audience-tuned, and strategically keyworded (all while sounding natural!). I’ve worked with her across industries and formats (long-form, short-form, video, you name it), and every time, she nails it. Think AI can replace writers? Think again. If you want someone who thinks outside of the box, hire Lena … she works as though the box never existed in the first place.

  • I've been collaborating with Lena for the past 8 years, and it's been an absolute pleasure. She's a professional, talented, and skilled copywriter with exceptionally high-quality standards. Lena truly understands my company's needs and consistently delivers clear, concise, and persuasive copy across a wide range of formats. Her adaptability in tone and style makes her work spot-on for different audiences and contexts. She's also a great communicator and collaborator—whether with clients, designers, or marketers—and is always proactive, responsive, and friendly, even with last-minute requests. Every project runs more smoothly with her involved.
