02 · Services
What we deliver
01
Thought leadership & ghostwriting
Executive bylines, op-eds, point-of-view articles and LinkedIn posts that say something specific, written in your executives’ voice and signed by them.
02
White papers & reports
Researched long-form work for expert audiences: white papers and technical explainers, as well as editorial content for corporate reports and books.
03
Executive interviews & podcasts
Executive and expert interviews for articles and podcasts, or recorded on video for your website and streaming channels.
04
Features & customer stories
Interview-led stories from project sites and from customers that show what the technology achieves in practice.
05
Editorial programmes
Article series and newsletters, planned as a programme and delivered over time.
06
Technical editing & review
We check and rework technical drafts, including AI-assisted ones, so facts and terminology hold up before publication.
Words and images
For features and editorial programmes we bring in photographers and videographers we know and trust, so text and images come as one package. We deliver the editorial content; design and print stay with your agency or in-house team.
03 · Selected work

Not shown here
A large part of our corporate work – executive bylines, white papers, LinkedIn articles – appears under our clients’ names. We keep that confidential, so this selection shows only work credited to us.
04 · Team
Who you work with
For larger commissions we also bring in established teams, including photographers and videographers we know and trust.
Award-winning science and technology journalist with more than 25 years’ experience in the United States and Germany. From 1998 to 2011 he reported from New York for leading German publications, covering scientific and technological innovation and interviewing figures such as E. O. Wilson, Craig Venter and Elon Musk. His bylines have appeared in Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Scientific American, among others. Since returning to Germany he has written for companies in the energy and industrial sectors, on topics from SF₆-free switchgear, battery storage, HVDC and grid stability to automation, cybersecurity, mobility and smart infrastructure. Writes fluently in German and English. Studied at the University of Regensburg and Yale University; doctorate in philosophy.
Journalist who has covered energy and climate for more than 12 years. Senior energy features writer before going freelance in 2015; her bylines appear in E&T Magazine, Raconteur reports published with The Times, reNEWS and GlobalData’s energy and mining titles, including MINE Magazine. She writes on wind power and storage, and on mining, from copper supply and rare earths to decarbonising iron ore and steel. Copywriting and white papers for energy and industrial companies including ABB, Hexagon, Hitachi and Ocean Winds. NCTJ-qualified (National Council for the Training of Journalists), with a BA (Hons) in English.
We build stories from interviews and first-hand research, so they carry information that is not already out there.
No hand-offs
The journalist you brief is the one who interviews and writes. Nothing gets lost between briefing and draft.
Technically sound
We work closely with engineers and subject experts, and write so the piece gets through internal review.
Coordinated delivery
One project lead keeps schedules and technical reviews on track.
Global readers
We work for companies and their teams in Europe and North America. Their readers are worldwide, and we write for them in English and German.
06 · AI & confidentiality
Yes, we use AI. Carefully.
AI speeds up parts of our work, such as research support and adapting formats. The interviews and the final text remain ours.
We use AI with client material only where your policies and our agreed confidentiality terms permit it
Where we do, it runs in Langdock, an EU-hosted AI workspace set up to use only models processed in the EU. Its model providers are contractually barred from training on client content.
If your policies rule out AI, we work without it

A short note on the topic and your timeline is enough to start. We work with international companies and their teams in Europe and North America.
EU F-Gas Regulation: Beyond the SF₆ switchgear phase-out
With the EU F-Gas Regulation, Europe is phasing SF₆ out of new high-voltage switchgear. The feature opens at Hornsea 3, the world’s largest single offshore wind farm, and looks at the phase-out timeline and at the F-gas-free alternatives now being developed in co-funded projects.
Fusion energy is moving from laboratory research towards commercial power plants, driven by startups and private investors pursuing magnetic and laser-based designs. The feature looks at how established energy companies such as Siemens Energy work with these startups to bring fusion power onto the grid.
Energy Efficiency for a Sustainable Future: How to Achieve the European Green Deal
A white paper for the Swiss meter maker INTEGRA Metering on the EU’s energy efficiency targets under the Green Deal, and on how smart metering linked to building management systems helps operators meet them. Heidi worked directly with the company’s marketing and sales teams.
Cutting edge copper: can innovation help meet rising demand?
As global copper shortages loom, miners are turning to nascent technology to extract more copper, more sustainably. The feature opens at the historic Johnson Camp mine in Arizona, host of the first industrial-scale trial of Nuton, Rio Tinto’s copper leaching technology.
Will the US’ onshoring strategy remove China’s chokehold on REEs?
The US is racing to wean itself off Chinese rare earths. The feature looks at new mining projects from Wyoming to Alaska and asks whether onshoring can work while processing and refining remain the hardest step.
Simulation & Digital Twin in 2030: A 10-year technology outlook
Where will simulation and digital twins be by 2030? Siemens’ ten-year technology outlook brings together researchers and industry experts on how digital twins will change the way products and plants are designed, built and run.

How to optimize the aluminum supply chain network?
Where along the supply chain do the emissions of a switchgear housing arise? Siemens Energy, the supplier Thoni Alutec and the consultancy We Don’t Need Roads mapped the carbon footprint of aluminium housings. Most of it comes with the purchased primary aluminium, which makes sourcing and renewable power the main levers.
