When writing material that is going to be marketed, I have a keen insight into wording subject matter that the media is responsive to. Wrote, edited and designed 20+ four color brochures and trade show displays for the Women’s Center of Brevard which educates and helps women in abusive relationships. Pioneered one of the first “Green Destination” marketing campaigns for the travel industry in 2003. The media campaign focused on a Wisconsin Inn constructed and maintained using natural and biodegradable materials. Requested by Florida Today in Melbourne, Florida to educate local pool owners on preparing their pool for an upcoming storm. A strict deadline had to be met. The information was submitted to a staff writer who took my information and turned it into a front page story with photographs. Here are two web portfolios I designed: www.KCDesigns.info The EDITING - WRITING menu offers you Resumes, Press Kits and insights into my Copy writing and Marketing talents. The PORTFOLIO drop down and CREATIVE menus highlight my design talents. www.ilovemypool.com is specifically geared towards the media. The MEDIA – STORY IDEAS drop down menu focuses on successful media campaigns in 2010 – 2011. |

| Work terms: | Greetings, I am a professional business person that is inspired by the needs, desires and visions of other people. A well rounded, and creative outlook on life has allowed me to be well-versed in a variety of subject matter, especially when the focus is to help and/or educate people. Without question, I am a story teller who is capable of putting historical, technical or current thoughts and perspectives into words in a manner that people can understand. I have a strong code of ethics yet am very open minded about modern day outlooks on life. Controversial, without being extreme subject matter is fine as I consider it a learning experience. Once we discuss your needs and I begin writing, I will submit to you a portion of the initial writings to see if we are on the right track. This guarantees that we are both satisfied with the final project. Communication via phone, Skype, Skype phone and e-mails are all acceptable. I am very punctual and when we set a time to talk, I will be there. When it comes to final editing, you will find that we will work together harmoniously and creatively on the phone. Compensation via SafePay is preferred. I look forward to turning your vision into reality. Cheers! Ken Christensen |
