Copywriter tells iconic Outdoor Brand & Product Stories

three Different Brands. Three distinct Voices. Over 100 products. • 2019-2024

PackTowl Platypus Therm-a-Rest

Behind some of the outdoor industry's most trusted brands is a story. Many stories rather. Product innovation, the cutting edge, and the people making it happen. Emotional appeals to being outside and how a product facilitates it. The deep history and expertise of the brand and why that makes the difference in market flooded with imitators. Whatever the story, I spent 5 years writing the hell out of them and made sure they landed with the right consumers on the right channels.

Opinion: Copywriting in the Age of AI

Is the the ubiquitous holiday gift guide campaign the proving ground for all consumer goods marketers, let alone copywriters? Intent to buy is up, wallets are open, the waters are chummed, and the frenzy is on. Merry christmas!

Death of a Glacier Trailer

My approach to Copywriting

Research, Strategy, Results

As a copywriter I relish in being the collection point of an organization’s knowledge. The copywriter must have their fingers in every corner in order to build a great voice for the brand. Top-shelf copywriting flows from a top-shelf learning practice. I excel at working across teams, engaging the right stakeholders, and asking the right questions **to unearth the bits of knowledge that make a story pop through a headline, a social caption, a press release, a blog, or an ad.
