I've been freelancing since 1993 — long before "content marketing" was a phrase anyone used. Over three decades, I've written and consulted across web copy, SEO content, advertising copy, and brand messaging for businesses ranging from local trades to online shops. What three decades actually gives you isn't just "experience" as a buzzword — it's pattern recognition. I've watched SEO best practices shift from keyword stuffing to genuine user intent. I've watched ad copy move from print to Google to Meta to TikTok. I've adapted every time, because the underlying skill never changes: understanding what makes a stranger stop, read, and act. My work has always sat at the intersection of writing and strategy. I don't just write words that sound nice — I write copy built to do a job: rank on search engines, stop the scroll, convert a reader into a customer. That's true whether I'm writing a blog post, an ad headline, or ghostwriting a LinkedIn post for someone else's voice. Alongside freelance writing, I've also run my own ventures — including a marketing agency serving local businesses, and an e-commerce shop specializing in restored antique art — which means I don't just write marketing copy in theory. I run campaigns, manage client acquisition, and see firsthand what converts and what doesn't. That real-world feedback loop is baked into every piece of copy I write for clients here. I take on a limited number of projects at a time so every client gets real attention, not a rushed turnaround. If you want copy that's been sharpened by 30+ years of adapting to what actually works — not just what's trendy — I'm the one to talk to.
