    Hello, My name is James Tillman III. Although I have been an accounting professional for two decades, my passion is writing. Specifically sports writing. I have 15 years of experience publishing online sports content for various outlets. The list includes Yahoo Contributor Network, FanSided, Latest Basketball News, Odds USA, Last Word on Sports, Onlinebetting.com (OBCOM), Sportsbook Review and Godzilla Wins. As a writer, my goal is to attract as many readers as possible for each article. However, I also take pride in providing opinionated content (backed by statistics), even if my stance is not popular. Upon receipt of my resume, please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions regarding my writing background. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration and I look forward to your response. Respectfully, James Tillman III

    Fractional COO, CMO, and experienced SEO content writer and project manager. Functioning in remote independent contractor roles for 12+ years. I work on digital marketing strategy creation and execution, including management/coordinating with your in-house employees and other freelance vendors. I have trusted partners I work with on social media and graphic design creation. As a project manager/fractional COO/fractional CMO, I help determine the best systems, tools, and teams you need to get to the next level. The perfect fusion of creativity and analytical skills for digital marketing project management and strategy/implementation of digital marketing plans. Using industry tools like Trello, Clickup, Asana, SEMRush, Basecamp, SurferSEO, Market Muse, Keywords Everywhere, WordPress, Hubspot, HotJar, Zoom webinars, and Clearscope comes second nature to me, as I am often able to jump in immediately and start contributing. I've also helped many clients set up these tools for a more streamlined experience. As a former marketing director for Lawyerist.com and the Content Marketing Manager for Denver Legal Marketing, I've provided on-time delivery of content strategies, blogs, copyediting projects, and many other public relations and content writing tasks for law firms and attorneys. I've also managed teams of other freelancers by scoping their projects for them, ensuring budget adherence, and handling deadlines for things like graphic design, digital ads, and YouTube. Most recently, I served as Chief Operating Officer for Advanced Amazon Ads, where I implemented an onboarding system, trained new employees, handled 20 sales calls per month, and improved reporting. As an overview of the services I provide and considered myself to be an expert at, here is a listing of marketing, SEO, and writing services I offer to my clients on a regular basis: *Unique SEO content writing, keyword selection, blog writing, and website copy (with expertise in the legal, insurance, and digital marketing industries) *SEO Editing/On page optimization for SEO purposes *Marketing strategy development *Content marketing strategy development and implementation *Podcast hosting/strategy support *Content marketing and content management services (writing, editing, hiring and managing other freelance writers) *Facebook ad copy development and running Facebook ads I am also a five-time author and three-time TEDx speaker. "Laura has served as our fractional CMO for 2+ years. Her work is organized, communication is great, and she fully maintains all of our marketing activities from states away. Strongly recommend." Colorado personal injury law firm. "In the world of marketing, there's A LOT of noise and it's hard to sift through all of it to find the real deal. But if you are looking for a true marketing and communication expert, YOU HAVE FOUND HER. Laura is a true expert in her field and is also incredibly passionate about it, which leads to the inevitable outcome of perfection in her work."- Olivia Jaras "Laura is a go-to for law firm and lawyer content including strategy, deployment, and copyediting in B2B and B2C practice areas. On top of her expertise, she is great to work with - smart, sophisticated, and always pleasant! I give her my highest recommendation."- Meranda Vieyra, Denver Legal Marketing "Laura is the most brilliant legal content writer I've encountered in the past two years." -J.C. Cavanaugh "Laura performed in two capacities during our tenure together. She wrote blogs for US-based law firms on a weekly basis for almost 2 years. Laura was also a Program Manager for enterprise clients that required her to manage writing projects including recruiting writers, managing their workflow, meeting deadlines and overall project/content management. Laura is extremely positive, very business savvy and can prioritize large volumes of work. She has the ability to handle tough situations with the utmost professionalism and keeps the client and team at the forefront. I highly recommend Laura for any content management project as either a contributor or as a manager. She is absolutely fabulous!" Dawn Dasburg, Upwork PTC Recruiter

    I'm an innovative writer and editor and have brought my expertise to marketing and UX industries for 10+ years. As I pursue a graduate degree, I'm rejoining the UpWork community to find engaging projects and fantastic clients! In a sentence, my greatest strength is my ability to shape complex data and narratives into compelling, impactful storytelling. I've overseen high-visibility reporting of qualitative data to household name clients, leading research teams to refine their findings for C-suite audiences in the medical, automotive, and industries. I've also managed content, tone, and strategy for global thought leadership initiatives, elevating the quality of blog posts, interviews, white papers, and conference presentations. I bring this experience with diverse interests and skills in layout design, graphic design, and illustration. I've led art direction and layout for literary journals, periodicals, company-wide brand templates, and websites. I've also created and trained teams on style guides and branding initiatives. This work is an extension of what intrigues me most about the world around me: the rich history of visual art, poetry and nonfiction writing, and groundbreaking cinema. On a day off, you'll find me at a museum, a theater, or a gallery in Chicago where I live, learning and getting inspired from other artists. I'm most interested in unique, part-time projects that need a good storyteller. Maybe you have rough drafts of blogs or a bigger project that you love but need to find a cohesive tone-of-voice, or are rich in data from your latest research and want someone who can find the story in it. I'm industry-agnostic but am most interested in collaborating with passionate clients who are committed to quality and compassion in their work. I would love to work on a project with you! Contact me with your idea. Happy to share a work portfolio, CV, or references. My listed experience on this platform is *old and outdated* (from my baby days as a marketing content writer) so make sure to reach out for recent work.

    "This Freelancer was excellent! He got the job done quickly and efficiently! Communication was top notch! Very please with his work!!" "The work was excellent, and communication with me was very good with attention to detail and following of instructions - fully met expectation. This freelancer is good to work with and thorough, and I will be happy to rehire in the future." "Geoff did an absolutely AMAZING job. He was able to over-deliver on all aspects of the work. He was extremely communicative, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure that I was beyond happy with the work I received. As a client, I was very pleased and extremely happy when I saw the quality of his work, his attention to detail, and his work ethic. He was able to successfully help me improve my product & service at an extremely fair rate - and I could not have asked for more. Overall, my experience was flawless. I highly recommend him as a very dependable freelancer and will be working with him again in the near future!" Do you need original writing that will get the results you're looking for? How about changing the content that isn't performing the way you want it to? Hi, I'm Geoff, a freelance writer who can do these things for you, and more. My process begins with developing a strong understanding of the project, its goals, and the target audience. From there I formulate a strategy and create a product that meets (and hopefully exceeds) the goals of the project and your expectations. If my initial effort is not exactly what you have in mind I will happily make revisions. My philosophy is that the best client is a happy client. Over the last 25 years I've built a wide base of experience that ranges from traditional ink-on-paper publishing, to websites, to blogs about business consulting, artificial intelligence, and most recently, freelance writing. Educationally speaking, I attended both DePaul and Eastern Illinois University. I bring a lot to every project I work on and would love an opportunity to show you how I can help you too.
