CONTENT IS STILL KING (Portland)

If your website or ad copy isn't bringing you new business, you may need a professional to tell you why. I can identify your core messages and use them to generate fresh copy that will bring you the results you need.

I'm a marketing consultant and an award-winning writer and PR practitioner with more than 20 years' experience working with businesses and organizations of all sizes. I have written reviews and articles for magazines, web sites, and trade publications. I've provided content for a host of Internet start-ups, as well as for more established companies.

I can provide quality writing of nearly any kind -- from one-line campaign themes to thick sales training manuals. My copy holds the reader's attention and gets results. On time. And on budget.

I've written video and A-V scripts, TV spots, case histories, newsletters, brochures, ad copy, press releases, feature articles and training programs that have increased revenues or readership for dozens of satisfied clients.

My accomplishments in business and the arts have been recognized with several awards and grants, including the Ohio State Award for excellence in Educational, Informational and Public Affairs Broadcasting (a national honor, despite its name), six Addys, a gold award and a merit award in the 1993 and 1994 annual competitions sponsored by Healthcare Marketing Report, the Kirsch Leadership Award, the Upjohn Healthcare Services Baton, an American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters grant, a P.E.N. grant, and several Michigan Council for the Arts writing, editing and video awards.

I earned my Bachelor's degree cum laude in Communication and English from Michigan State University and hold an M.F.A. in Creative writing from the University of Oregon.

In my more than 20 years in the business, I've worked for InFocus, Aqua Sciences, Rich Content, SayIDo.com, ContactPS, The Upjohn Company, United Way, Herman Miller Inc., The Kirsch Company, Mount Carmel Health, Voluntary Hospitals of America, VA Linux Systems, Third Voice, Web2Web Marketing, Personal MD, HealthCentral.com, LetsTalk.com, Spark Public Relations, Copithorne & Bellows Public Relations, and many other leading institutions and companies, as well as some of the outstanding advertising agencies and public relations firms in the country.

One thing all of my clients have in common is that they expect results, not just words. And I give them the results they expect. Targeted messages. Great copy. More customers.

My fees are reasonable, too. And for good reason. My overhead is lower than that of bigger firms. You don't pay for unnecessary layers of management, a prestigious address, a ride on the company yacht, or for someone's new BMW. You pay only for words as good as or better than you'll get from ad agencies and PR firms that bill at higher rates.

Oh, and I know a thing or two about writing for the web -- or more importantly, writing for search engine optimization. Even know some secrets in how to use PR to drive significant traffic to your site.. And then killer landing pages that get names, make deals happen, and close sales.

Let's.
