Creative director and copywriter
With years of experience creating powerful advertising for a wide range of consumer, business-to-business and technology clients, my strength is communicating complex ideas, products and services in a simple and direct way that people can quickly understand. My writing skills include developing concepts and copy for TV, radio, print, brochures, direct mail, emails, annual reports, white papers, and web content. I also have extensive experience developing advertising strategies, corporate taglines, product names, positioning statements and support points, business plans, and PowerPoint presentations.
