Storytelling
I like developing and reviewing data points, uncovering stories, and then telling those in a way that harnesses the transformative power of storytelling, producing action from key audiences that leads to growth. And while AI can create content based on patterns in existing data, it doesn't yet innovate. That's where I come in!
I'm able to share your existing data in an accessible way that can connect with and move people on a deeply personal level.
Marketing Communications
They will never stop talking about you!
Whether I'm interviewing celebrities like Jane Seymour, Kathy Bates, Steve Forbes, or just plain regular folks like your experts, associates or customers, I can quickly get to subjects that make reading interesting.
And when it comes to those folks, I can seamlessly make it look and feel like they are truly supporting your efforts and objectives.
I also take complicated and technical information and turn it into a refreshing storytelling strategy that motivates readers.
