What's your business story?

“The difference between the almost-right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” - Mark Twain

I’m a huge fan of Twain’s philosophy. I call it smart business storytelling, and every business needs to tell theirs well to grab customer eyeballs. What makes you different/better?

I can help you nail the story you need to tell with compelling messages for every medium. Web content, ghost blogging, ebooks, case studies, white papers, eblasts, print & broadcast ads, billboards & bus signs, annual reports, advertorials and yes, even restroom posters.

With more than 30 years in marketing and advertising (both agency and client side) I bring branding insights and messaging expertise for B2B and B2C. Industries I’ve written for include health care, environmental causes, consumer goods, finance, education, technology and construction. An additional strength: translating technical info and jargon into high-impact copy. Recently I helped:

  • brand a new orthopedics practice
  • recruit college students
  • increase awareness of home automation technology
  • launch a new online art and custom framing gallery
  • increase market share for a furniture chain.

No matter the challenge, I put my expertise to work for you to capitalize on every communication your organization undertakes with fresh ideas and creative solutions. I work in a collaborative process for maximum impact with a network of trusted resources including designers, strategists, crisis communications and SEO experts.

Best of all, as a nimble freelance resource, I’m there when you need me. Not on the payroll when you don’t. And in 20+ years of freelancing, I’ve never missed a deadline.

Leave the writing to me. Then you can focus on business.

My Story

I began my career at small Advertising and Design agencies in New Hampshire and wore many hats: copywriter, client handholder, and coffee runner. I wrote for advertising, event promotions and public relations while strategizing and promoting products and brands for consumer and business-to-business clients. When my family moved to Rhode Island, I went client-side as Advertising Manager at Blue Cross & Blue Shield of RI and led communications efforts for several multi-platform product launches as well as directed the launch of their first-ever website way back when. I struck out on my own in 1996, delivering marketing insight and strategic copy in all media. With a wide variety of clients, I love learning about new industries and businesses and using my skills to help businesses grow and succeed. When I'm not writing, I'm sailing Narragansett Bay, the East Coast islands and the Caribbean.
