B2B Technology Marketing Copywriter

About Me

Since 2005, my vision has been to capture the magic of technology in writing. My mission is to help you bridge the gaps in your sales process with results driven copy. So, if you’re goal-directed and want a good marketing ROI then there’s a good chance I’m the right copywriter for you. 

My passion for results is driven by my background in B2B software sales working for 3 different enterprise software firms. This first-hand sales experience of working with marketing materials I was provided that were of little use, gives me a passion for creating content that works.

TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND:
My earlier work experience in software sales, as an I.T. Recruiter and studying I.T. in college helps me understand the challenges my clients face. I’ve worked with companies of all sizes, from Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, to small businesses and technology startups. I also help clients think through their strategy, and I’ve written several resources to help you.

"We Are Hard to Please and Derek was a 10/10!"

That's why a process is needed to create it. My "Hierarchy of Results" is how I help you get the results you want. And it's why I'm known as "The Results Driven Copywriter."
