I amsterdam City Card & UiTPAS app copy (iOS/Android)

As part of the I amsterdam content team, I designed audience personas and delivered microcopy for the I amsterdam City Card and UiTPAS apps, creating intuitive in-app messaging that helps users navigate attractions, cultural institutions, and exclusive perks.

I also worked to optimise the English copy and product names for UiTPAS, ensuring clarity, consistency, and a tone that resonated with international audiences.

The goal was to make every interaction feel effortless and aligned with the city’s welcoming, curious spirit.

Save the Night

In collaboration with various cultural partners and municipality stakeholders, revamped all nightlife and clubbing content to better reflect Amsterdam’s diverse after-dark offering. Shifted the focus from a single party scene to a more inclusive, authentic narrative — highlighting everything from experimental music venues to relaxed local hangouts.

The result: copy and fresh social-first content that invites everyone to experience the city’s night culture in their own way.

Amsterdam Area Campaign

Led the Amsterdam Area campaign, inspiring visitors to explore beyond the city in partnership with regional Destination Marketing Organisations. Managed all content for the campaign’s subdomain, including a rotating “area of the month” feature developed with social and press teams.

Created SEO-optimised guides, routes, and itineraries highlighting cultural spots, cycle routes, family attractions, and nature escapes. Kept the campaign fresh with new photography, video, interactive maps, and social integration.

Collaborated across teams, led creative sessions, and reported on growth and engagement metrics to stakeholders.

Where to Stay

Redesigned and rewrote all Where to stay pages to create a more intuitive, inspiring experience for visitors. Implemented SEO best practices using top-performing hotel and accommodation search terms, and collaborated with partner hotels to enhance visuals and listings.

The refresh led to a 40% increase in page views within three months.
