In my career I've worked both sides of the fence -- as a consultant and as an in-house communications manager. I know how important the strategic use of a consultant can be to deliver the right messages at the right time to a target audience,to relieve a department's workload, and to solve even the stickiest of communications problems with a new perspective. I'm dedicated to client service that is professional, creative, efficient, and even fun. It's service with a smile.

Capabilities include:

WRITING AND EDITING:
Articles, features, profiles, white papers, brochures, ads, speeches, presentations, case studies, surveys, website content, ghostwriting, and more.

COMMUNICATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
Annual reports, magazines, brochures, electronic and direct mail campaigns, websites, videos, social networking strategies, and more.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION:
In depth review of your organization's marketing communications strategies, both print and electronic, along with plan development and implementation.
