Simon David Andrew is the native English copywriter and brand consultant for marketers who demand high-impact work that engages audiences and grows brands.

Beyond my knowledge of how to grow brands with compelling homepage messaging, high-impact storytelling, and engaging use of verbal identity and AI, what sets me apart is a fascination with the science behind great communication, an interest that goes back over 30 years.

It began with a psychology degree from the University of Cape Town, followed by a graduate diploma in marketing. Since then, I’ve worked for leading international network agencies, consulting firms and corporations. Across hundreds of B2B and B2C brands.

If there’s one thing I enjoy more than theory, it’s putting it into practice. My ability to create world-class branding solutions, communication concepts and copy has been recognised at top award shows on both sides of the Atlantic, including The One Show, Cannes and New York Festivals.

Best native English copywriter and branding specialist in Germany?

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Either way, it’s clear I can pack SEO keywords into a headline. Which is just one of the many ways my copywriting and brand consulting skills can help grow your brand and business.

But how on Earth did I land up in Germany? Kurtzgesagt, I married into it. I moved from Cape Town to Munich with my family in 2008 and, after a 2,5-year stint as creative director at Leo Burnett Worldwide, I set up my own shop in 2011. Today I am lucky enough to work for great agency and corporate clients across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the UK.

You might consider joining them if you’re looking for a brand consultant & copywriter who can help drive your brand forward, one who understands that great communication is ultimately about adding value to brands, to customers, and to your bottom line.

If that sounds like the kind of creative and branding partner you’re looking for, let’s have a chat. Best copywriter and brand consultant in Germany or not, I may well be the best one for you and your brand.
