Diona is an award-winning freelance copywriter + strategist based mostly in Johannesburg
What I do
-
I partner with agencies as a senior extension of their team, stepping in when projects require additional depth, internal capacity is stretched, or by staying on for ongoing retainer work.
Whether that means leading the messaging for a full website build, developing long-form thought leadership content, omnichannel funnel copy, or shaping the narrative behind a brand, I work across both thinking and delivery.
-
I work across brand and content strategy to help businesses define what they stand for and how that shows up in market.
On the brand side, I clarify positioning, audience, differentiation, category framing, and value proposition to define the narrative territory the brand can credibly own.
On the content side, I translate that into an actionable system with messaging architecture, editorial themes, channel strategy, and content mapped to buyer journey and commercial objectives.
-
I collaborate with art directors and creative directors from the earliest stage of pitch or campaign development, working as both a creative partner and strategic lens.
I help shape the core insight and define the problem framing, develop concepts, platform lines, headlines, scripts, landing pages, and social rollout to ensure the campaign ladders back to a single narrative.
