Would you prefer a web content writer who listens, or who talks?

Two to one.  That’s the ratio of ears to mouth.

It’s also the proportion of listening to talking you get from me when it comes to producing quality content for your web site and marketing material.

But you’re human, and so is your web content writer. What we think, what we say, what we hear, and what our brains receive and reproduce can differ substantially through each phase of the briefing and writing process.  Read more . . .

Since then I’ve run my own marketing communications businesses in Melbourne for 23 years.

Web content specialist since 2006

As marketing communications changed and became more sophisticated, I decided in 2006 to concentrate on web content delivery as a specialist skill. I also enjoy advising authors on planning the structure and content of their books/ebooks, and writing, co-writing or editing their manuscripts. As a creative marketing strategist, I blend ideas, words, and images that get you and your enterprise noticed.
