CopywritingI helped Forbes Magazine create a control-beating Centennial-themed Email Blast (cold and renewal emails, pop-ups, landing pages) to increase their renewal subscriber base and add new "gift" subscribers using their 100-year anniversary as the theme. (With the incomparable designer Jacqueline Ho.) As the smoke cleared from devastating 2017/18 Northern California wildfires, institutional investors nationwide sought remediation from PG&E for financial losses. That litigation continues. This is a speculative case study, reflecting how lead counsel for the plaintiff could describe the case after a final settlement approval. Labaton did not hire me to write this case study. (In many instances, paid case studies are ghostwritten, and so not available for display in a portfolio — thus a speculative sample.) With a century-long legacy, Forbes needed a campaign that could honor their history and drive renewal and gift subscriptions. The centennial celebration presented a unique opportunity to engage their audience with a compelling narrative while promoting subscription growth. As the smoke cleared from devastating 2017/18 Northern California wildfires, institutional investors nationwide sought remediation from PG&E for financial losses. That litigation continues.

I helped this beverage consulting firm address three different audiences on their website, with a home page, about us page, an overview services page, and three distinct services pages (for wine and spirit brands; restaurants, bars, and hotels; and special events clients). The wonderful people at BLICK approached me to revise and copyedit thousands of product descriptions on their Utrecht website (which came with their purchase of Utrecht). I quickly brought together a team of copywriters to complete over 2,100 product descriptions and hit their deadline. My background as a professional artist gave me valuable insights into what their customers want to know and what appeals to them. It was a pleasure to help the largest, oldest art company in the US.

Such an introduction to a business gives marketing and sales teams a powerful tool to attract new prospects and close more sales. *This is a spec one-pager provided to exhibit how these marketing tools, when done well, can benefit a company.

It was published as part of an annual supplement in a print and digital publication (for the Coast News Group).
