About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2005
Number of Employees: 1
I have created and implemented all aspects of marketing plans (from concept onward including all client advertising, public relations, and promotions) for clients such as: Martell; Automotive and Dealer Groups as well as promotions for clients such as The Preakness Hot Air Balloon Race; Maryland Renaissance Festival; MGM; Universal Pictures; Columbia/Tri-Star and several independent film distributors.

Payment Terms

Projects under $750 - 50% deposit, 50% upon completion.

Projects over $750 - 25% deposit and I will work with you to establish two milestones for 25% payments, with the remaining 25% due upon completion.

Thank you for your deposit. Taking a deposit allows me to maintain my cash flow while working on projects I love.

Detailed Service Description

I will explain my expertise and experience, but first and foremost I want you to know that I strive to be the provider my clients want and need. Character and caring is as important as competence, if not more so, and I bring both to the table.

I have been in marketing for more than 20 years, providing strategic planning, creative implementation, public relations, promotions and media buying services to clients.

I founded a full-service ad agency in 1985, which provided the authoritative, hands-on, real-life "Here's How You Do It," Make More Money Right Now Guide to Success in Marketing, Advertising and Business. The agency helped clients Separate Their Business from the Competition, THEN ELIMINATE THEM through our proven systems.

Today, I bring that expertise to my copywriting, enabling small business clients to have the same expertise at their fingertips as do Fortune 500 companies.

By helping companies maximize the results of their advertising and public relations dollars through the written word, my clients' advantages are so obvious that their prospects and customers draw this conclusion: "I would have to be an absolute fool to do business with anyone else but you...regardless of price."

I delve deeply into a client's product or service in order to gain an understanding that translates the words I write into business for the client. I research the client's target audience and learn what makes them tick and then get into their head.

I am not the cheapest writer on Elance. I charge a reasonable fee for each project I undertake. That way, I am not spread too thin and each clients gets the attention and care they want and deserve.
