Work – Outcasting

We Work Together

1. Maybe your audience doesn't get what you're doing. I can help with that. Or maybe you don't know where to start, or you're always in meetings. I can help with that too. First things first: I listen to understand what your problems are so we can build solutions.

2. We clearly define who the copy is for, what it's asking them to do, and the context.

3. I create the messaging architecture and write to inspire action.

4. I always deliver on deadline.

5. You feel less pressure, stop worrying, then maybe we high-five.

That's fine, But where is the proof?

Here is what I've done for other folks*.

I do not have a background in any of these industries. But I listen, and have quite a bit of range: A rare combination that helps me build effective copy.

Work with Outcasting

I'm a low-pressure gig. Do you want to rap about what you've got cooking? Drop me a note or give me a call. I'm here to help.

Two quick philosophical things:

1.

It's tempting to imagine that just over the horizon our problems will disappear. But problems have staying power – we trade one set for another. I see them as road signs pointing the way forward, a.k.a. opportunities for greatness. They're how we know we're on the right track – the trick is to figure out which ones are worth dancing with. I can help with that.

2.

Fear is similar – it's always lurking, for everyone. You are not alone. So whether me or someone else, take the chance to do great work.

I write every day. That's my baseline, and this is one of the outcomes. If you're looking for engaging irreverence, occasional coherence, often pointed, mixed with enough indelicate humor as to create a want, a craving for more, subscribe!
