“My experience with Dan was amazing. He's a great communicator with impeccable timeliness. Reviewing Dan's work was almost unnecessary as his attention to detail and quality were fantastic." - One of many happy Upwork clients *********** You’re busy. You need a B2B content strategist and writer who can interview you once to find the strongest ideas, then run with them. In other words, I’ll pick your brain and create targeted content without constantly dragging you back into the process. As a grizzled veteran of the content world, or more accurately, someone who has created content for more than 400 clients over the past decade, I know a thing or three about turning expertise into attention and authority. Once the right people are paying attention to what you have to say, opportunities follow. ********* My skills ********* - Drawing useful original ideas out of founders, consultants and subject-matter experts - Turning those ideas into thought leadership content that offers genuine value - Using proven copywriting techniques to earn and hold people’s attention and encourage action - Building a joined-up content strategy that attracts the right audience Put those skills together, and you have a powerful system for generating inbound opportunities. **Positioning and strategy** Together, we’ll clarify who you want to reach and which ideas will resonate. I’ll then research the market and subject, developing themes and angles that show your expertise. ** Thought leadership and content creation** I’ll act as a ghostwriter, turning your expertise into articles, newsletters, white papers, reports, case studies, and social content that people find useful, written in your natural voice. My partner is a graphic designer, so we can provide a complete copy and design package where needed. **Audience engagement** I’ll make sure each piece of content has a clear job to do and connects to a clear commercial journey. That might mean growing a newsletter, promoting a lead magnet, or directing readers towards a relevant offer. ************ How it works ************ The process usually looks something like this: An interview to come up with themes and angles Independent research and idea development A monthly content plan One or two substantial “source” pieces, such as articles, newsletters, essays, etc. Larger assets such as white papers or case studies LinkedIn posts derived from the source pieces and larger assets Clear route towards an offer or lead magnet Short monthly review to discuss progress and set new themes and angles ********* Let's Talk ********* My digital door is always open to founders, CEOs, marketing managers, engineers, and anyone else involved in the wonderful (and sometimes weird) B2B world. Ask me about content strategy, white papers, in-depth articles, thought leadership content, case studies, and anything else related to B2B content. Congrats. You read to the end of my profile. Doesn't happen too often does it? Might as well get in touch then, eh? Joking aside - drop me a DM, I'm always up for talking about content - it's my passion!
