These selected results reflect successful client partnerships. It takes a team to achieve these examples. It would be my pleasure to talk with you about how we might partner together.
Media and public relations
As a daily reporter for 18 years, an executive producer for major multimedia projects, as a public relations director and principal, I intimately know and respect the media, and how it operates.

Websites and social media
As a long-time website editor for a major daily newspaper, I know about audience engagement. From site design to content strategy to search engine results, I've done just about all of it. These are selected sites I've had the privelege of working on as a partner.
Executive communications
Whether an op-ed column for the daily newspaper, posts on the corporate blog or a letter for the monthly newsletter, executives carry a greater responsibility for writing messages with clarity, precision and style.
Here are two recent examples for clients:
Crisis communications/online reputation
Every organization and individual is vulnerable to a crisis. A poor online reputation is bad for businesses and personally harmful. But organizations and individuals, with proper professional guidance, can proactively manage communications during a crisis and make rapid progress to reverse a poor onilne reputation. Client confidentialty prohibits disclosure of case studies, but as a seasoned communication professional, experienced with both the news media and search engine results, I deliver results when it comes to managing the thorny issues dealing with crisis communcations and online reputation.
Annual reports
Whether prepared for a business or a non-profit, annual reports are outstanding opportunities to showcase an institution and its people.

Newsletters and brochures
Communication pieces require a significant investment in time, talent and cost. You want to make sure these pieces are read and not just distributed. I compose engaging newsletters, memorandums, proposals, and internal documents. I help organizations and individuals find their “voice”--ensuring that it is credible, compelling and trustyworthy, so the audience is engaged.
