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 EN copy and branding for UiTPAS, creating 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 cultural partners and municipal stakeholders, I overhauled all clubbing and nightlife content to better reflect Amsterdam’s diverse after-dark scene, writing and commissioning features that moved beyond a narrow party narrative.

The refreshed approach highlighted everything from experimental music venues to neighbourhood bars and alternative spaces, creating a more inclusive and authentic editorial voice.

The result: more authoritative, insight-led copy and social-first content that encouraged a broader audience to engage with the city’s night culture in their own way.

Amsterdam Area Campaign

The Amsterdam Area campaign inspires visitors to explore beyond the city in partnership with regional Destination Marketing Organisations. I managed all content production, including branded features and a rotating “area of the month” concept 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 result: 40% increase in page views within three months.
