Local fit

Why hire a native Dutch journalist

Hiring a journalist who is actually based in Haarlem changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. Direct, low hype communication is the norm and English is widely accepted in B2B. Dutch buyers dislike padding, so short, specific and evidenced copy converts best.

Practically, that means your journalist writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across Netherlands, references Haarlem and wider North Holland accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in EUR. Languages on the bench for this market: Dutch, English.
