Who's using my words?
Concepts and Name Generation
These are the BIG ideas
that drive advertising, something I specialize in. I come up with concepts and names that are fresh, exciting, even
innovative. Always rooted in the facts
about the product/service. Always aimed
at the market segment my clients are trying to reach. I follow through with persuasive, results-oriented copy.

Writing business-to-business
copy is all about understanding not only your client, but your client’s
client. It’s being able to adapt your
style to one the industry finds acceptable. Writing a message that fits in, while making your client stand out.

Business to Consumer/Retail
Here again, my job is to
write advertising copy that “speaks” to consumers, using the words and phrases
they’re both comfortable with and readily respond to. If you don’t talk their
talk, in words that are convincing enough to activate them, customers won’t
walk into the store. Because I
"grew up” in Retail, I do that. I
learned fast that it’s all about “branding” the store, as well as getting today’s
message out there, preferably yesterday, and looking no further than tomorrow
for results! My words work in all
media, for all markets. My words get results.

Writing
for any new medium is a challenge. Particularly when it’s interactive. I’ve honed my skills to the point where I can come up with dynamic web
content. Content that drives customers
to my clients’ web sites, and keeps them there! Content that persuades, motivates and, ultimately, sells readers
– from all markets, all industries.

Here,
my words have to work even harder! Images
tell most of the story. But my copy
must motivate viewers – in business-to-business or business-to-consumer
markets, persuading them into action – action that gives my clients the kind of results they’re
looking for.
