MARKETING WRITER
As a marketing copywriter for PlayStation Network and OnLive cloud gaming, I focused on deadline-driven consumer promotions for Web, print, email blasts, in-app messaging and community blog posts. I also wrote scripts for OnLive TV ads and Web videos and created OnLive’s Writing Style Guide.

  • Web & email promotions for game launches/sales, service features and new products
  • Print materials for special events and video game industry trade shows
  • Digital marketplace content, including descriptions, events and sales
  • In-app messaging for iPad, iPhone and Android devices
  • Blog posts written to motivate the OnLive consumer base
  • SEO & SEM copywriting


PR COPYWRITER
OnLive cloud gaming has recently enjoyed an explosion of mainstream press coverage and has dominated tech blogs. As press copywriter for OnLive, I wrote the press releases for all major product and service announcements. I also wrote presentation and press briefing talking points and answered press communications in advance of articles for publication. As a former newspaper and magazine journalist, I know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to press outreach and press release writing.

  • Press releases & media alerts
  • Keynote presentations and press briefing talking points
  • Blog posts written to attract press coverage


CONTENT CONSULTANT
As a young company with groundbreaking technology, OnLive looked to its creative personnel for input on how to best communicate the benefits of its cloud video game service and devices. In conjunction with my work as a marketing copywriter, I consulted on OnLive’s brand and product positioning, as well as its website revamp.

  • Brand positioning
  • Product messaging
  • Website language and structure


SOCIAL MEDIA WRITER
Social media is a place where companies can be more playful, encourage interaction and inspire specific action. It’s also an opportunity for establishing a strong brand identity. Through my marketing work for OnLive cloud gaming, I wrote Facebook and Google+ posts and Twitter tweets each with a specific strategic purpose in mind. I also wrote blog posts for both Sony Network Entertainment and OnLive, inspiring and activating the fan communities.

  • Strategic Facebook & Google+ posts
  • Twitter announcements and community outreach
  • Company blog posts interacting with the fan community


CONTENT EDITOR/FEATURE WRITER
Prior to my marketing career, I spent a decade in content editor/feature writer positions for large organizations with both print and Web operations. At WWE.com, anything I wrote for the website had thousands of views before I could even check to make sure it posted properly—thanks to its 14 million unique visitors. World Wrestling Entertainment also shares the same sought-after consumer demographic as the video game industry. At this point, I’m accustomed to high-stakes, deadline-driven writing and content editing and take those types of assignments in stride.

  • Content editor for large multimedia websites, specializing in attracting new visitors and lengthening user stay
  • Feature writer who has interviewed celebrities, musicians and athletes for online and print publication
  • Experienced copy editor and grammar whiz with expert grasp of AP Style
  • SEO copywriting
