Testimonials

Flattery and feather-fluffing for this Melbourne copywriter.

Tone-deaf is my middle name. So, to save you the earache, I’ve wrangled these amazing humans to sing my praise, on my behalf.
Brave souls who’ve had me as their Melbourne freelance copywriter, or have crossed paths with me during the 9 to 5 years, via my digital marketing agency days or my in-house adventures.

During a time when we needed carefully curated content to speak to a stressed out audience, Melinda was the right person for the job! I sent her through a very messy brief and she came back with exactly what we were after.  She got the urgency in my voice and understood the message I was trying to project to our customers. Her ability to listen, understand and produce what I needed quickly has given me 100% confidence in using her for future projects. Melinda comes highly recommended for anyone who needs assistance, especially during COVID-19. She's an absolute legend!

Designer + Marketer | Evie & The Village

Melinda is an absolute gem! I am so thankful I came across the wonderful Melinda Harcourt just a few weeks ago. In the beginning of January, I planned to launch my own website for my design studio ‘Evie & The Village’. The website was entirely built and laid out, but I was incredibly stuck on the copy. I assumed I could do this myself and for months and months I stumbled along, struggling to find my own voice. In just one phone call and a very basic brief, Melinda was able to find my voice and share my story in a conversational way. A few days after, she was able to turn around my entire website copy and suggested ways in which I can optimise my website for SEO. Every person who knows and stumbles across my site says ‘Your website it so you’ and I owe that entirely to Melinda, you are a true leader in this space! You are magic and I can’t wait to work on future projects with you!

Managing Director | Produce A La Carte

Melinda is a true professional. She studied my brand and knew exactly what needed to be done. I've worked with a couple of other copywriters in the past and it's been a nightmare - going backwards and forwards with them was so time consuming and it felt like I was doing the copywriting at the end.

When Melinda sent me the first phase of drafts they were so spot on that we didn't even have to edit anything! I'm super happy with the work and I can highly recommend her if you want to take your business to the next level. I will most definitely be using her for any future work that I need done and so should you!

Account Manager | Periscope Media

Working with Mel has been a real treat. Not only does she bring such lovely, positive energy to our team but we couldn't be happy with the quality of her freelance work. She has always met deadlines and every project so far, the clients have been over the moon with what she has written. And that's a hard thing to do when all you have is words! Amazing work Mel. Thanks a bunch.

Melinda has been an absolute joy to work with! I started my passion project of selling unique art prints, and I knew that the brand needed to be given a unique voice - I was drawn to her writing style immediately. Melinda’s ways with words was absolutely spot on and matches the personality of our brand perfectly. She is a wealth of knowledge and offered so much more than what was asked. I’m very pleased to have had the chance to work with her and look forward to doing so again in the future.

Thoughtful Care Testimonial
 

Jeremy Finkelstein

Operations Manager | Thoughtful Care

Mel completely exceeded our expectations. We came to her with a website draft and an idea. What started as some copy, became a fully fledged design and a professional website in only a few days. Mel was fast, professional and adapted really quickly to our brand voice and message. And on top of that, it's clear she has some serious skill when it comes to website design and style! She provided clear and specific feedback, and we ended up with a website we're truly proud of. We look forward to working on our next project together!

Director | Hidden Valley Weddings

We’ve worked with Melinda on a number of projects over the years - and she has delivered each and every time. She’s not only an incredible word-smith, but has a high and practical sense of emotional intelligence that makes her content both relatable, and extremely successful. We’ve hardly ever had revisions because her copy has just worked, across different target audiences, and even in conveying some of the more complex concepts in our work. She has refined our communications across all of our sales channels, and has been nothing short of amazing to work with. Thank you so much for your work, constant innovation, and for always over-delivering.

Working with Melinda was a wonderful experience. She went above and beyond and turnaround was fast. She was always available to discuss and explain any issues that arose. Initially engaged to review my existing website, she gave me very useful constructive feedback. The project was extended to revising and rewriting the content and improving the marketing. I was delighted with the results.

Michelle Thu

Director | Valentine Artistry

I have been struggling to open up my website for a long time because I was always striving for perfection but always missing something and to be honest, I didn't even know what copywriting was. Melinda came strolling along one day, and whilst I was doing her brows offered her expertise in copywriting and I never looked back. My website wouldn't be LIVE today if it wasn't for her 100%. She's an absolute sweetheart and works hard and thoroughly to achieve the best results for you and the message you want to project to your audience. 100% highly recommend this talented lady and her beautiful soul!

Jonathan Walsh

General Manager | ROI.COM.AU

Working alongside Mel has always been an absolute pleasure, hands down the best copywriter I have worked with. Not just because of the quality of her writing, that speaks (or reads) for itself. Mel has a unique ability to get inside the mind of the audience member and not write to them, but rather write for them, through research, through asking the right questions, through care and empathy.

We had the pleasure of working and consulting with Mel on all our SEO content requirements, outsourced through an agency. As kikki.k's e-commerce manager, it was important to me that the copy was not just optimised for high traffic keywords, but also adhered to our brand personality and tone. Mel's copy was always spot-on and beautifully written. She was also incredibly easy to work with, reliable and efficient with all our requirements.
