I work with clients from Los Angeles to London in every type of industry, largely by phone and e-mail when long-distance and in person as well whenever necessary. Adhering to the scope and pace of each project as defined by the priorities of other team members, such as marketing directors, website developers, graphic designers, etc., I conduct a brief discovery process, assessing your content needs and creating a timeline for drafts, edits and finals. After completing any additional needed research, I start writing.

accommodating & attentive

Whether you require a lively press release announcing an event, an eloquent brochure to publicize your new business, a more comprehensive website reflecting the growth of your organization, PR for a product launch or a full marketing campaign that'll take your thriving corporation to the next level, I bring a distinct breadth of proficiency and professionalism to every assignment. In addition to potent, charismatic content, my working style is upbeat, communicative and productive, ensuring that the process is as speedy and synergistic as possible for all concerned.]]> http://picasso.hmdnsgroup.com/~annieguy/process/#000003 http://picasso.hmdnsgroup.com/~annieguy/process/#000003 Process Fri, 11 May 2007 09:26:27 -0500 about professional evolution & expertise
