How To Work With Me

Welcome to my main gig. I write kick-ass copy, and I help remarkable people and companies create kick-ass brand identities.

My clients say I’m intuitive, possessing an uncanny knack for assessing their personalities, asking the hard questions and getting their branding on track. I say I have a knack for translation. I hear you. I hear your message. Then I make sure your audience receives the message in exactly the right package, hitting exactly the right nerve.

The Brand Alchemy Session
Best for: new business owners, people who’ve recently made changes to their offerings, anyone looking to tighten up their brand identity.

  • $300
  • One conversation, a lot of research and your idea in motion
  • Pre-work: a brief questionnaire that you fill out and send to me beforehand
  • A 60-minute call or face-to-face chat: jam session. We talk, you ask any/all questions relating to your idea, I pull stuff out of you (it’s less graphic than that sounds, I promise!) and give you back a big-picture view of your big idea and whether it’s resonating with what you’re doing, along with recommendations for next steps.
  • Optional: Receive a written report summarizing the Brand Alchemy Session for $100

The Blacksmithing Session
Best for: Marketing-savvy people who know their business & want to get their next great idea up and running.

  • $400
  • You provide a comprehensive picture of what you want and all the raw material
  • I pick up the pulse and help you sculpt it, providing you with a thesaurus of key concepts and ideas that will drive your business forward
  • 2 calls and 2 rounds of language/ideation
  • $150 per hour after that

The Litmus Test
Best for: anyone looking for a brief impression, feedback and advice on next steps for branding/business.

  • $200
  • A one-hour call
  • No pre- or post-work

Copywriting
I wordsmith for websites, magazines, ad agencies, big corporations and little tiny indie biz people.  I can do it for you, too.
