Although I have only been with Upwork for a few years, I am not new to freelancing. I have been working from home for clients for approximately 20 years. My skills range from ad & copywriting to website design & marketing as well as public relations, email marketing, social media, and SEO. Over the years, I have operated as a business manager and a marketing manager for several small, entrepreneurial clients, while also providing other marketing services to other larger clients. I manage online websites, and marketing campaigns. I also provide some customer service via chat or email or support systems like Zendesk as a part of assisting my clients with their day-to-day operations. I develop and manage marketing campaigns for their websites and products or services. I provide ongoing monthly service or I can provide project services such as SEO, SMO, ad copy, website copy, blogs, articles, press releases, and social media marketing. I also create and develop complete marketing funnels including all the advertising pieces for the funnel such as pop ups, email series, ads, advertorial/blog copy, etc. I run Facebook, Twitter, and Google ads campaigns. I create email marketing campaigns, create the website and ad copy, and manage online member areas. Whatever you need, splash pages, whole site redone, projects, mini-sites, social marketing ads, complete email campaigns and/or customer journeys (automated campaigns), I can do it. I'm proficient in many web design platforms, such as Thrive, WP Bakery, Elementor, Divi, etc. If I haven't used your platform, it won't take me long to get up to speed. I use many online tools to create graphics and if you are local to me, I can take the photos you need for your website or ad campaign. I cannot do video, however, and there are graphic artists much better than me out there. I can develop and manage sites in Shopify, Wordpress, Squarespace, and Wix. Ecommerce is not a problem. As regards my writing abilities, I have operated as a ghostwriter for clients, writing in their voice to achieve their unique look and feel for their blogs, articles, and/or marketing pieces. I am a published author in the education market and have written as a team member on Language Arts projects for many of the major educational materials companies like Scott Foresman, Harcourt, and McGraw Hill. To date, I have over 40 published works. I also spent many years running PR campaigns during the 90s, which included setting up events, press release writing & distribution resulting in media coverage of those events. In fact, I have probably generated enough print media to fill a small garage! I research and write blog articles on any subject unless it is highly technical. I can provide much of the artwork needed either from my stock library that I subscribe to or from my photographs. I have also written and designed ad copy & graphics, marketing newsletters, email copy, print matter (postcards, brochures, presentations, PowerPoint slides). I have written business plans for new businesses seeking financing. I've written marketing and strategy plans for ongoing businesses. I've created implementation plans & projects for new ventures, new products & services, or for retiring products & services. I am a hard worker who takes pride in my work, my ability to meet deadlines, and my willingness to always be part of the solution and never be a problem. I got rid of my ego a long time ago. I'm easy to correct and easy to work with, and I have a great sense of humor. Also, if you want my input I will give it, but if you just need me to execute your game plan, I can do that. I'm happy to provide the level of strategic interaction or non-interaction that you need. I've uploaded a few samples of my work in the portfolio section. It is only that which I had permission to show. I cannot confirm that these links are still working as most of these are not current projects. I have also listed some additional skills in the "Other Experiences" section. I can provide plenty more examples when needed.Brand Management
