Hello! I’m a writer and marketing professional with extensive media background looking to help you with your content creating needs! See my portfolio here (password: zachshapiro).
I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2016, and since then have worked full time in advertising. My knowledge of the media industry spans from the backend ad serving and safety technology to comprehensive campaign planning to investment and activation. I have also worked in a more utilitarian role, managing all branding aspects for a growth-stage startup including but not limited to content creation and production, PR, social media, event marketing, sales, and copywriting.
I am also a published author of a novel (“The Certainty of Tides”) as well as short stories and screenplays. I love telling stories, and I am happy to bring my passion for entertainment and education to craft yours.
I look forward to hearing about your needs, whether copywriting on a website, social posting, content writing (articles, blogs, scripts), email/sales marketing, or any outside the box requests you may have.
Let’s tell your story together!
Zach
