Freelance Writing

On time. On budget. On target. Always.

Purpose: Creating content that connects.

I’ve always been keenly aware of the power of putting the right message in front of the right person at the right time.

Building on these natural tendencies and following a formal education in marketing and communications at Bentley University, my professional experience has run the gamut from inside sales, product marketing, merchandising, copy writing, direct marketing, journalism, social media, freelance writing and public relations.

Over the course of my career, I’ve written about subjects as diverse as application development languages (XML), Apple computers and telecommunications to gardening and compost, saturation and commercial diving equipment , environmental consulting services, sports injury prevention, land conservation, real estate / finance and metal fabrication. Most recently, I’ve enjoyed being a regular contributing writer for Green & Healthy Maine Homes magazine. Learning about energy efficient Passive House design and construction, Net Zero homes and educating the next generation of builders here in Maine has been a joy!

Suffice to say, I can come up to speed pretty quickly on basically any type of business, technology or subject…although I do prefer writing about the outdoors, sustainability and energy efficiency topics the most.

Even when the target audience and messages may be different, the methodology (and often the result) I use is always the same – do your research, digest what you have learned, filter out the fluff and identify the key messages that your audience actually wants to hear about.

Dr. Ted Levitt, senior professor at Harvard Business School, once said, “The function of a business is to get and keep customers. They don’t buy things, they buy solutions to problems.”

Sorry, Mr. Ziglar, but it’s not always about selling.

Good marketing communications provides a prospect with the right messages – that answer the questions and potential objections right up front – then lead them to make the only logical choice: YOU!

Don’t waste your time, energy and money trying to speak to everyone. Let’s work together to develop the language, unique point of difference and messages that only your customers need to hear.
