I have been a freelance copywriter on teams that overhauled and rebranded global consumer web sites, developed web content and collateral material for international product launches, and provided strategy and content for dozens of marketing campaigns.

Past clients include Accenture, Motorola, Merck, Boeing, Orbitz, United Airlines, Discover Card, Baird, Dow Chemical, Hospira, SC Johnson and Kraft, among many others.

At the other end of the spectrum, I have helped a variety of small companies and non-profits with content development, media relations, advertising, email and direct mail.

As a senior copywriter I have worked on accounts for a number of leading agencies, including BBDO Worldwide, Ogilvy, Tribal DDB, 141 Worldwide, MarchFirst, among others.

I am based in Chicago, but have helped companies and organizations throughout the country.

Previously I was Director of Corporate Communications for Washington National Corporation in Lincolnshire, IL. In that role I worked closely with senior staff, sales operations, investor relations and human resources on various issues and opportunities.

Prior to that I was based in San Francisco helping software developers bring their consumer products to market.

And before all that, I was an award-winning journalist for newspapers in Wisconsin and California.
