I go as in depth as possible, finding the core stories that will bring the work to life and truly connect with the target audience.

General

TBC Homepage
(TBC The Rust Belt 6/1/2013)
TBC met at the famed Second City training program and formed their own troupe. They quickly realized they needed a website to serve as a calling card, to put out the word about their shows and to feel like the real deal. I worked with the artistic director Nathan, to define their style in words.
Tiffany Brooks Homepage
(Tiffany Brooks 11/29/2015)
Tiffany came to me unhappy with the kinds of clients she was getting. After analyzing her current strategies, I realized that she was targeting the wrong audience. We mapped out a new strategy to re-launch her website and to update her brand image.
Marketing Column
(DIY MFA 1/12/2015)
My monthly column for DIY MFA focuses on the marketing side of creative writing, i.e. how to promote and publish work, once it's done. This is an area of abject terror for many writers, so I aptly named it "Swimming with the Sharks".
