For nearly 3 years I was "the voice" for the main branding site, microsites, stores, email, banners. You name it, I wrote it. In addition to exceeding aggressive sales goals, the site won numerous awards and was featured in the CA Interactive Annual two years in-a-row.
“First and foremost, our kudos go out regarding the store’s product descriptions. Anyone who writes knows how difficult it is to be inventive with repetitive content needs; instead of writing bland product descriptions, this writer took the effort to include facts and anecdotes that makes the descriptions original, story-like and interesting.”
