Hi, I’m Nadia
Founder | Senior Copywriter & Messaging Strategist
It can be incredibly challenging to locate your own story and tell it in a way that feels authentic. I’ve been there, staring at the blank page, trying to figure out how to articulate my value and my work without it feeling awkward—or like I was selling my soul to the algorithm.
It’s often gruelling, stirring up flickers of that imposter syndrome you thought you’d already worked through...
One of the reasons I established Simile Agency is to facilitate this very process for founders, small businesses, and professional service providers—to help them uncover their unique brand of genius,
and to communicate it with confidence, a human voice, and just the right amount of punch.
-
I’ve spent over a decade helping businesses and organizations showcase their expertise and communicate more clearly—spanning the disciplines of executive comms, brand, marketing, and business writing. This includes leading content execution at one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, which further enriched my perspective on storytelling and content strategy.
I’d love to learn more about your work and how I can support your business goals.
Warm regards,
Nadia Hammouda, M.A. | Montréal, Québec, 2026

To that end, we convert complex ideas and industry knowledge into more digestible forms. We're especially passionate about helping our clients showcase their deep expertise in a way that is refreshing and reflective of their brand essence. -
Because words shape worlds and incite people to action, the marketing writers of our era have become powerful agents of culture.

Simile
What’s in a name?
Originating from the Latin word similis, a simile is a figure of speech that expresses the likeness or resemblance of two seemingly dissimilar things…
A powerful literary device in its own right, a simile uses constructs such as like or as to unify disparate terms, thereby acting as a bridge.
FAQs
-
Freelance copywriters are often a strong fit for focused, standalone projects.
A micro-agency becomes valuable when the work is more complex and requires multiple contributors. It can coordinate the full process from start to finish, bringing together the right expertise and managing the moving parts so everything stays cohesive and on track.
This is especially useful for larger website projects, SEO-driven blog strategy, or long-term content work.

You bet.
We love working with web developers to create content that aligns with site structure, SEO strategy, and user experience.
(And of course, your preferred character limits!)
Whether the site is in development or already designed, we’re flexible and will adapt our content strategy accordingly. We’re also happy to provide targeted recommendations for new content sections that could add extra value for your client.
-
We approach each project as its own challenge, bringing together strategy, marketing, and consumer psychology with a fresh, independent perspective. Plus, we’re not scared to think outside the box.
We humbly believe that this mindset is more critical than ever, because, let’s face it:
It’s one hell of a saturated digital jungle out there (pardon our French).
Audiences have almost seen and heard it all. People are disenchanted. Their BS-detectors have never been more formidably attuned.
So it’s important to not just say it differently but to also say it directly, and in a way that 1) captures your brand ethos; 2) does justice to your offering; 3) leverages your edge & differentiators (and properly communicates them); 4) resonates with your target market; 5) drives conversions.
A tall order, yes 😅, but we love to rise to the occasion.
The point is, it’s hard, and it’s complex, but we bring our appreciation for complexity to every project.
We always strive to find a way to make content slightly different—whether that’s through a tagline, a well-thought-out About section, or an email that uses a slightly unusual subject line.
-
Yes. We support businesses looking for high-quality English-language writing—whether that’s content writing, copywriting, or a mix of both.
Work is led by native English speakers, with a focus on making your message easy to understand, engaging to read, and aligned with your audience and positioning.
-
Yes. We love collaborating with creative, web, and digital agencies, supporting projects where strong messaging and writing are needed.
