Freelance Writer

Moved up to this role from the position of Content Marketing Specialist, lending insights and expertise to additional writers as demand for our services grew exponentially. This demand outstripped our capacity with a single internal writer, and so three additional writers would be taken on during this tenure.

These included research and analysis, preliminary content drafting, client outreach when sourcing additional insights/direction, basic, line, and substantive editing, proofreading, deliverable planning and strategy, and general revisions. Also edited, mentored, and provided ample support/feedback/insights/quality assurance to our three additional internal writers.

Ensured optimal value and production efficiency for the clients who counted on us, working closely with various internal departments. Particularly focused on collaboration and brainstorming amongst Content Department team members including our highly dedicated copywriters and coordination staff.

Senior Content Writer & Editor

Initially wrote for seoplus+ as an external full-time freelancer before being taken on internally in August 2017.

Responsibilities included working closely on a daily basis with clients and team members to help their content vision flourish and become a tangible reality. A comprehensive and dedicated study of professional-level writing was harnessed to create compelling, reader-friendly content to help local and international businesses succeed. Specializations include brand revitalization, short-form/long-form blog and webpage content creation, whitepaper drafting and capturing/innovating upon existing content tone. Day-to-day services were driven by a meticulous attention to detail, a true passion for creativity, and a dedication to storytelling.
