Copywriting
Currently, I solely project manage, plan stories and write and edit copy for major publications. I help communicate delicate internal information effectively tailored for several audiences with the help of a PR degree.
Length of writing varies from one email with 3-10 stories or a memo up to 20 pages with 10+ stories.
Content varied from fun promotional copy to drive sales or provide directions for technical information regarding system updates to keep consultants informed.
Media Concepts
I supported the social media manager in running a closed Facebook group for consultants. This included consolidating and transforming important news into digestible media. I helped conceptualize several posts based on being informed about the essential content and expertise in social media.
I also helped provide detailed instructions for art directors who could help deigning and applying images to publications and social media posts to support the copy.
