Copy Writing

I’m afraid of plenty of things. Writing isn’t one of them.

I’ve been writing and editing copy for employers, clients and friends for over twenty years. And along the way I’ve observed that most people are fairly terrified of the judgement they’re sure is gonna be heaped on them when they put pen to paper.

I don’t have that problem. I love getting in the ring with a bunch of ideas. Whether it’s writing original copy or distilling and editing what’s already been written, I can help you convey your most important information in a compelling way. Together we can find the right voice, follow the branding guidelines under which you operate, feed those pesky search engines the crumbs they need to find you, and tell your story.

Upcycle Those Words!

You may want to consider creating a content library so you can search for and re-use your content. It doesn’t have to be a complex affair. Using Excel or my database software of choice, Claris Filemaker, I can build a content library that will help empower your team to feed the content beast themselves.

Graphic Design

Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Publisher and Powerpoint are the tools in my graphic design kit. Let me help you craft compelling visuals, digital and print, for all your marketing and communications needs.

Video Production and Editing

My videos probably won’t walk away with a Palme d’Or or an Oscar, but I can create video with your own assets that will tell your story in an entertaining way at a fraction of the cost charged by production houses and many freelancers.

Database Development & Maintenance

A customer relationship management (CRM) system that does what it’s supposed to do is critical to your success. I am proficient in Salesforce, but I don’t recommend it for smaller teams unless they have the resources to invest in training. Claris Filemaker is my app of choice, and I’ve used it to create and maintain robust CRMs, inventory databases and asset libraries. Claris has robust, free support features; I can also create tutorials or directly train team members in its use.
