Hi, I'm Connor! I'm a speech and copy writer with a knack for humor and creativity, dedicated to helping my clients find the right words to say. Today's audiences have tall expectations, and short attention spans. Whether it's a wedding speech or website copy, every word counts more than ever. My job is to help you navigate this challenge and tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience, keeps them engaged, and leaves them wanting more. To do this, I work directly alongside my clients to understand their wants, needs, and aspirations, as well as those of their audience, to deliver personalized & impactful messages. I pride myself on being a writer who's responsive to client needs, extremely timely & organized, and delivers nothing less than a perfect product, no exceptions. But don't take it from me, check out my client reviews and see for yourself. While I primarily specialize in writing speeches/toasts as well as creative/humorous product copy, I have experience in a variety of other areas including web copy, press releases, greeting cards, blogs & articles, video scripts, and marketing materials. Outside of Upwork I'm a customer experience & innovation consultant helping Fortune500 companies connect to their customers and find new ways to deliver value. This means you get both a writer & consultant with knowledge in UX/UI, audience behaviors, and strategy. If you're looking for someone that's reliable, creative, and understands audiences, let's connect & get to work!
