Bela Pechau

Copywriter & Content Creator

Location icon South Africa

I have 5 years copywriting experience - 2 years Agency, 3 years Freelance.

I've dabbled in all sorts of digital hoo-too which includes writing SEO articles, long and short web copy, social media content creation, creating/proofreading proposal presentations, writing bot conversations, mailers, and travelling across the country documenting a South African braai TV show.

In addition, I have a diploma in Travel and Tourism Marketing and I'm a qualified chef -

Although corporate copywriting is where the major opportunities are, my true love lies in short copy and in particular, making things rhyme and trying to make people laugh - because, why you gotta be so serious all the time, right?

I'm based in Little Brak River in the Garden Route - but I'm happy to travel anywhere for in-house projects.

Home security tips are easy to come by, and there are many devices and measures you can take to improve the general security of your home. However, the installation of slam-lock gates, burglar bars or complicated alarm systems can be expensive, and for people who own property in security estates or golf estates the problems can be confounded by the aesthetic guidelines outlined in the estate's rules.

How About a Riddle?

This is my first attempt at creating a riddle. As I'm actually terrible at solving riddles myself, whether this one is very good or not, I won't know. The answer is at the bottom.
