Senior copywriter based in Nashville, working remote with brands everywhere. Full-time, contract, or freelance.
Netflix · eBay · Condé Nast · Esquire · Time Out New York · Mozilla — plus a good many more who'd rather I not put them on a website. Two decades, no filler.
The core of the job. I'm a senior brand voice writer: I build voice-and-tone guidelines, then write the copy that proves them. I rewrote a 130-year-old company's entire global voice. I got a cybersecurity startup's traffic up 1,300% by finally explaining what it does. Brand copywriter for consumer brands, tech copywriter for software and security. Open to Head of Voice and brand voice lead roles.
A soft spot, and a specialty. Newsletters are the one place a brand gets to sound like a person every week, and people actually open them. I'm a freelance newsletter writer for brand newsletters and B2B newsletters, especially in tech. Two favorites below: “The Sidebar” for Mozilla and “Byte Size” for Experts Exchange.
