About
I’m Rachel Mendel, a versatile copy and content lead who helps brands turn complex ideas into clear, compelling messaging. With experience across in-house and agency settings, I own end-to-end projects—from shaping brand narratives, positioning and tone of voice, to creating campaign copy and long-form editorial across every channel.
I’ve led large, high-visibility work for The New York Times (including The New York Times Climate Hub and International campaigns), and I’ve also delivered award-winning content and strategy for organisations including Irish Waterways and Bank of Ireland. I’m a hands-on collaborator and a meticulous writer/editor, comfortable translating big briefs into audience-first copy for everything from websites and CRM journeys to social, print, video, audio and OOH.
