I am a solid communications professional with extensive hands-on media relations, internal communications, executive communications, marketing, and copywriting/copyediting experience.
My career includes mid- to senior-level media relations and marketing roles with Ford Motor Company, Porsche, and Yamaha. My years as editor and co-publisher of two trade magazines formed the foundation for a 30-plus-year communications career.
Specialties: I am an expert writer and seasoned public relations veteran. I am well skilled at external media relations; corporate communications; crisis and internal communications; and new-product launches. Extremely knowledgeable about the automotive industry, but also have background in the powersports industry, power equipment industry, power generation, the apparel manufacturing industry, consumer goods, and some healthcare communications. I've always adhered to Associated Press style, and take pride in producing clear, concise and well-written prose and messaging.
Work Terms
I generally work normal business hours, but am willing to adjust to meet the client's needs. My basic hourly rates range from $30 to $200/hour (one-hour minimum) depending on the project's complexity. Ex. $30/hour for copyediting, and $200/hour for PR and marketing strategy and execution.
Of course I am willing to on a flat-fee project basis and can submit a project price estimate once provided the project parameters.
I prefer immediate payment upon completion of all projects.
