Hey! Happy to meet you.

My name is Vincent and I’m a freelance copywriter coming from the green city under the sun, Nairobi, Kenya.

Yeah, that place with lots of lions and zebras. Remember the Hakuna matata song from Lion King? Now Kenya is home to those beautiful beasts.

But you are here to learn about who I actually am rather than my favorite movie, right?

I started writing back in 2017 by accident. My roommate, Denzil, was a freelance content writer and needed help with some of the growing work from his clients.

I decided to give it a try because there was nothing I would lose if I failed at it.

I was a 19 year-old sophomore looking for something to do during his free time after completing university classes.

Denzil made few edits to my first article and told me I had a potential to become a successful content writer if I was willing to put in the hard work and consistency.

I joined the writing group and never looked back.

Since 2018, I have been building upon the foundation of SaaS expertise and today I have worked with several companies in the industry. I have written about important digital marketing topics such as conversion rate optimization, direct response copywriting, CRM , thought leadership marketing and social media marketing.

I have worked with many content marketing agencies, such Grow Atom as based in Florida, The Flying V Group in California, and HVSEO in Arizona, as a content writer.

I also publish posts about self development on Medium.com where I have made lots of online friends and learned a great deal on how to grow my career as a writer.

Fast forward to 2023.

Today I spend most of my time writing long-form blog posts and web copies for great companies around the world.
