Creating compelling content - white papers, books, articles, case studies, blog posts, video scripts, social media content and podcasts - that will resonate with specific targeted audiences
I am the ghostwriter behind the scenes that can help make your content shine. I approach content projects through the following:
- Co-creation - I bring fresh perspectives and combine this with the client’s viewpoint and knowledge of their organization. We ultimately create a final product that is far better than what we could have accomplished alone.
- So what? - As I review the content I create, I will frequently ask this question from the perspective of the targeted audience. If the content doesn’t adequately pass the “so what” test, then let’s eliminate this.
- Simplicity - Less is more and let’s say goodbye to jargon. Keep in mind this advice from Richard Branson in his article Why You Should Do Away with Jargon: “Some people love speaking in jargon, using fancy words and turning everything into acronyms. Personally, I find this simply slows things down, confuses people and causes them to lose interest. It’s far better to use a simple term and commonplace words that everyone will understand, rather than showing off and annoying your audience.”
- Paint a picture – Often ideas are communicated in the abstract and theoretical. To overcome this, it is important to integrate stories, examples and / or metaphors.
I ghostwrote three different award submissions for clients that were awarded gold and silver respectively by the European Foundation for Management Development.
