Ruth Tauber writer & copywriter

Hello, I'm Ruth

I have a way with words

I am Ruth Tauber, a native English copywriter based in Stockholm with a solid track record of creating effective communication over nearly two decades. I have created forecast-smashing campaigns for Oriflame, written for Happy Socks and Eton, and built a brand from the ground at Moniack Mhor.  I love collaborating to make your marketing really fly, whatever stage your business is at.

Testimonials
Petra Wallin, Senior Art Director at Oriflame.
I have had the pleasure of working with Ruth on many projects. I especially appreciate her ability to turn strategy into good, easy-to-understand communication. As a copywriter, Ruth has the ability to be both independent when there are tight deadlines yet works equally well in a larger team. In addition, she is easy-going and always goes that extra mile for the result to be really good.

Petar Cerina, Co-founder at Commbakers
"I remember us sitting for days in front of the screen wondering where to even start with a copy. One of the best decisions we made was to hand it over to a pro like Ruth!" 


The backstory

A little about me

Originally from North East Scotland, I was educated in Scottish Language and Literature at Glasgow University.  

When it comes to English, I am the ultimate word nerd. I have a deep understanding of how to make language work in different contexts, rooted in my education and experience. My success comes from adapting my words to mirror how people actually communicate, whether on social media, in person, or when launching a new product to market. Take a look at my portfolio to see some examples.

I am fluent in Swedish and was once fluent in Spanish. In 2015 I attended Forward/Story in Costa Rica, an invite-only lab for storytellers working in unchartered territories. In 2008 I was awarded a Peter Kirk Travel Scholarship to examine the notion of duende in Flamenco culture and contemporary art in Spain. 

My background in the arts means I take a holistic approach to communication. I worked with some of Scotland’s best artists at Kilmorack Gallery, Post-War and Urban Art Prints, with dance theatre at Plan B Collaborative Theatre, and with some of the world’s finest writers at Moniack Mhor. 

Writing like a pro

Looking for forecast-smashing campaigns, thrilling stories, memorable social media posts? I can help you with all this and more.

Editing like a native

Do your words need a polish? No matter how good your English is, a native speaker can always add a more natural tone.

Translation to English

I am fluent in Swedish, and can translate directly, or help you to tweak a text if you have used an online tool.


Have words, will travel.

I am based in Stockholm, Sweden and often find myself on Gotland and in the UK too. I am always available to meet online.
