My Life Before Copywriting:
Practiced corporate and securities law.
Became a stock exchange regulator and worked with junior public companies every day.
Worked in a software company as their lawyer and as a manager.
Wrote shareholder disclosure documents for a natural gas processing company.
Travelled in Canada, Europe, and Australia. Lived in England and explored everything I could while there.
Wrote a romance novel that placed in the top 6 unpublished romantic suspense novels in the Romance Writers of America's annual competition.
Was part of a team researching how to reclaim land after it has been mined.
What Makes Me Different From Every Other Copywriter:
My education. Not because you should be impressed that I have it. The ONLY reason it matters is because it's available to help you.
How many copywriters have degrees in law, business, cultural resource management, and geography / environmental science? I am curious and informed on a wide variety of topics.
Some people like to train for triathlons. Some enjoy hobbies like knitting or watching NASCAR.
I like to learn and to share what I know.
Marketing Skills:
I take a common-sense and strategic approach to your business.
Marketing in my language (the language of the MBA) is not just sales and advertising. It is knowing what you are uniquely good at, and finding the people who want that thing, and can pay for it.
I ask great questions to help you figure out what you should be doing with your business.
You know the "what" of your own business. I can help with the larger picture, especially when the details are bogging you down.
