Hi! I’m Amélie Hennequin, English-to-French translator
I translate your brand’s soul into cool, high-converting French copy.
Machine translation and low-cost agencies can be tempting. They promise speed and savings. But they come with a catch: you end up sounding like everyone else, with a generic tone that is straight up annoying.
Your brand identity gets diluted, French consumers mistrust you, and your sales take a hit.
Yet, you’ve spent precious time building something worth loving. And what I enjoy most is giving your brilliant ideas the copy they deserve in French.
Every day, I get to work with brilliant businesses on copy that does way more than just swap words. By combining copywriting, cultural insight, and SEO magic, I make sure your local audience falls head over heels in love with your brand, and actually buys. Simple as that.
That's why I take the time to truly absorb your offer and your personality… because I’m already your brand's biggest fan 🫶. And because standing out in a saturated market takes more than just pretty words: you need to be memorable.
For you, this means:
more credibility
more visibility
more sales
What I believe in
Confidentiality
Your brand, your ideas and your processes are all valuable. If you need to, I’m happy to sign an NDA before diving into your project.
I also commit to not training AI models with your content, and to not involving any external collaborators without your approval.
Transparency
If I’m not a good fit for your project, I’ll tell you straight away. Your time and budget matter, and I want you to find the right person for the job.
Like any marketing project, there are no guaranteed outcomes — but I give every project everything I've got.
What I can promise is a human, personalised collaboration designed to help you sell.
Inclusivity
Accessibility and inclusion are core to my work. I choose my words carefully to make sure everyone feels represented. That said, it’s an ever-evolving field, and staying open-minded is essential.
These values also guide the way I approach all my professional relationships.
Good vibes
The marketing world can be tough enough as it is, which is why I care about building genuine co-creation relationships with my clients.
I'm always 100% professional, but always up for a chat about your cats or your latest hobby!

I fell in love with English as a kid, thanks to my Spice Girls CD and my pocket-sized Robert & Collins dictionary. Being able to understand the lyrics all by myself was literally mind blowing 🤯
From that moment on, I was hooked, and that passion for English and translation ended up shaping my whole career.
Back in 2011, fresh out of my master’s degree in translation, I started working as an English-to-French translator, first in an e-learning company and then in a translation agency. That’s where I learned to match the high standards of big names in tech and tourism, and to look at every project through a strategic lens. That meant adapting high-impact marketing copy, designed for an intelligent audience, tracking down every apostrophe and leaving no room for doubt.
In 2021, I went freelance as an English-to-French translator specializing in marketing content. I wanted to work more closely with the brands I truly care about: the ones that want to shake things up and aren’t afraid to speak up. Best decision of my life. Every day, I get to discover very cool products while working alongside my cats.
I also added SEO to my translation and writing skills, because I wanted to help brands sell even better. Beautiful marketing copy is great, but if no one can find it, what’s the point?
And because I wanted to write French copy from scratch, I also trained in copywriting. I quickly fell in love with the persuasion side of writing and haven't looked back. Today, I bring a full set of skills to make your brand irresistible in French.
Outside of work, I’m a pretty easy person to please: I love rollerskating, testing my way through Lille’s pastry shops, hitting up concert venues all over town and reading four books at the same time.
My happiness managers
I’m a marketing translator… and also a full-time cat mum. You might spot my cats, Guyroux and Brioche, during our video calls 🐱
They’re my unofficial advisors, always reminding me to step away from the screen to soak up a few sun rays. They are fierce champions of the art of the non-productive nap and show undeniable expertise on the keyboard.
Honestly, they’re living the dream: zero responsibilities and absolutely no idea what a KPI is!
