Marketing and Technical Copy
During my four years as a salaried copywriter in Atlanta, I sought to bring depth and understanding to every project.
Whether the task is a complex informational piece or a brief social post, I believe good writing requires a clear idea — because ultimately communication is a process of discovery.
Client
DTN
background
The energy- and agriculture-focused data and technology company wanted to highlight the ways in which its Operational Decisioning Platform can save costs for customers within the world of downstream oil and gas. This specific request involved an educational video on the lifecycle of a fuel transaction.
solution
As one might imagine, this project required an extensive amount of research. After consulting DTN’s existing technical literature, I held multiple conversations with employees there to better understand the subject. I then worked with our team’s designer to build a script and storyboard that broke down a complicated process into a visually digestible narrative, before the animator brought it all to life!
Client
Equifax
background
The data, analytics and technology giant faced a significant problem: explaining to prospects how its innovative and highly technical product lines can help. Two assignments focused on Employment Tax Solutions and a proprietary support system called Data Fabric.
solution
After consulting with Equifax’s sales teams and subject matter experts, my design partner and I created streamlined “leave behind” graphics to visually anchor key messaging. Organizing and clarifying the sometimes dizzying web of terminology meant that I first had to reach a considerable grasp of the material. I’m particularly proud of the intuitive structure of information which helps to keep both pieces digestible.

Clients
Omatic Software
Delta Community Credit Union
SmartFi
background
Establishing and referencing a clear brand identity can be vital for a company to make consistent decisions and maintain a positive growth trajectory. Who are we? What do we do? How do we communicate? Three of our clients came to us for help on refining their answers to these questions.
solution
Our team first took the time to learn everything we could about the client. We interviewed employees and customers. Brand standards guides are technical documents, so we needed specific as well as aspirational language. I’m proud of the results — especially of the taglines I created for Omatic and SmartFi.

Client
Atlantic Capital Bank (now part of SouthState)
background
Before merging with SouthState, Atlantic Capital was a community-focused business bank that brought to its clients a unique blend of high-powered lending capabilities and outside-the-box creativity. The bank’s executive leadership was looking to highlight its work with small- and medium-sized businesses through a series of client stories.
solution
What started as two or three articles quickly became an extended monthly series which lasted for the duration of my employment at the agency. I drafted questions, conducted interviews and wrote the 750-1000 word pieces, all while managing input from various stakeholders. I was able to build a direct relationship with the bank’s Corporate and Community Affairs Executive, tailoring each article to fit different business lines and messaging priorities.

Client
Baptist Health
Wolfson Children’s Hospital
background
As part of the Baptist Health system, Wolfson Children’s Hospital has long been North Florida/South Georgia’s only full-service tertiary hospital dedicated exclusively to children. But with demand regularly exceeding capacity, our client’s facilities were in serious need of expansion. They came to us for help with a major fundraising campaign in support of a new critical care tower in downtown Jacksonville.
solution
Our team created a polished and immersive case statement brochure appealing directly to the hospital’s donor base. After touring the existing facility and conducting interviews of staff and patients, we refined key messaging points and developed a strong narrative through line to maximize impact. As the lead copywriter for the project, I’m proud of the way the piece retains its emotional core while providing the facts and figures necessary for a complete picture. Fundraising goals were met, and the Borowy Tower is now fully operational!
