For a leading soft drink brand, I've written campaign charters and other internal marketing documents describing planned sales promotion programs. I also wrote implementation guides presenting these campaigns to bottlers and retailers, and wrote consumer campaign pieces. Sorry, I can't show you that sort of thing. Please contact me for references.
Once upon a time, I got my degree in Journalism.
I chose Journ rather than Advertising, because it covers virtually everything — a lot like my interests. And what do newspeople call what they write? A "story."
Even the hard-nosed world of Advertising is about stories. This was famously demonstrated by my early hero, David Ogilvy, and in today's socially-focused media. Behind every post, whether intensely thoughtful, heart-wrenching, whimsical or nonsense, there is someone's personal story. And a story is the way to draw readers in ... if it's a good one.
In fact, whether you're writing a press release, package copy, or an article about industrial box-making machinery, it's sure to be more interesting if you find the story and tell it well.
