There are a few areas where I might be particularly useful for you, generally at the intersection of marketing, writing, and organic growth:

• Your digital / organic growth / earned media strategy

• Building an agency, specifically hiring and coaching

• Content operations at scale

• Hiring talented freelance writers and in-house

• Creating thought leadership and hybrid content

How This Works

I’m not always on my email game, so let me set some expectations:

These emails will definitely get a response:

• You send me a personally written email about something that clearly matters to you

• You send me a direct and interesting email about something that I am well-suited to answer

• You want me to look at something you’ve made

• You ask for feedback on an idea

• You’re interested in working with (or for) me in some way, including mentorship

• You’d like to include me in a panel or speak at your event (and said event is relevant to my experience)

These emails will sometimes get a response:

• Vague or long-winded emails

• You’re a recruiter (I’m not looking for work, but I may introduce you to people I know who are.)

• Requests to participate in studies or surveys

If I don’t respond within a week, feel free to send a follow-up email. I’ll genuinely do my best to write you back.
