ABOUT ME

I specialise in business, science and automotive journalism as well as custom content creation for leading international news outlets and private organisations.

“Sebastian helped us tremendously with our marketing campaign to position ourselves as a global player.”
“Many journalists focus their efforts on a single aspect of their work. Sebastian, however, is able to report news factually, offer context and commentary, and also add effective overall media management to the mix.””
