Some clients need a writer. Others need a strategist. The most demanding ones need both — someone who can think at board level and then put it on the page without losing either the rigour or the voice. That is what I do. I am a strategic communications consultant and writer with more than two decades of experience spanning regulated industries, government-adjacent work, consumer brands, and international media. I have advised energy companies on licence-sensitive public affairs, managed multi-market communications for lottery and gaming operations across the Caribbean, and written for top-tier institutions and publications including the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives, The Atlantic, Saveur, and Food and Wine. My consulting practice — Dialogue: VSG — handles the full communications stack: from crisis positioning and executive messaging to content strategy, media relations, and project-level communications management. I have written keynote speeches for CEOs, crafted ministerial-level sponsorship letters, launched new product lines with full press suites across multiple jurisdictions, and produced daily intelligence digests for C-suite audiences. I bring the same editorial discipline to a two-paragraph press release as to a 10,000-word strategic brief. What I offer on Upwork: • Copywriting, content & sales copy: long-form features, white papers, brand narratives, annual reports, op-eds, landing pages, and campaign copy that reads like it was written by a human who actually cares about the sentence. • Press releases & media relations: announcement drafts, media advisories, spokesperson notes, and backgrounders written for the journalist's inbox, not the client's comfort. • Digital marketing communications: multi-channel campaign copy, launch sequencing across platforms, audience-segmented messaging, and marketing collateral for consumer and B2B brands. • Communications strategy & planning: stakeholder mapping, message architecture, communications audits, campaign frameworks, and brand strategy — the thinking behind the talking. • Executive ghostwriting & speechwriting: keynote addresses, investor remarks, conference presentations, and executive columns. I write in your voice, not mine. • Project management: end-to-end communications project management, including multi-vendor coordination, timeline ownership, stakeholder reporting, and delivery across complex, multi-market engagements. I have worked across energy and infrastructure, consumer gaming and lottery, food and hospitality, nonprofit and NGO, retail, and real estate. I am comfortable with NDA-sensitive engagements and routinely manage client confidentiality across competitive markets. If your project demands precision, polish, and someone who will not need to be managed, trust what you already know. I am ready, and I would be glad to discuss how we can make something worth reading, together.
