We Put Fans in Stands

Tom Egan of Egan New Media introduced me to Roger of Ventura Sports Group. I really liked writing for Roger. He knew exactly what he wanted to say. When we wrote the testimonials he knew what he wanted to City Developer to say. And that was different from what the Field Manager or the General Contractor would say.

Roger puts the whole thing together from the bare ground to the baseball game. And while he is less concerned about fans than the individual teams are, I gave him the idea that what he does could be said like this: "We put fans in stands."

That's all mine and I am pleased to say so.

P.S. While I may have written the testimonials, it is my understanding that the individual persons authorized the use of their names and agreed to the statements.

Copywriting - General Services Brochure

Version 1.0 of my general services brochure.
I'll have to link up a PDF for you. Not today.
I think you can read my writing if you click it.




Through Process to Product

I recently gave a short presentation to a B2B Networking group.

I wanted to give a brief idea about what I do and use the remaining time for more questions and answers than is customary.

So, I spent some time in the clip art looking for a way to tell a story. Seems reasonably well received and I am still getting feedback. Click the image and get the whole, colorful story.

You can see whay I am not a graphic designer. Actually, it might have worked better with more time and space. Another week and the 11 x 17" tabloid sheet and it might have been something to talk about. Ah, well ....


Through Process to Product - Side Two


I took a couple screen shots of some copy I did for Ventura Sports Group.
I wrote the testimonials and the operator and developer pages on the site.

Fundraiser Flyer

Another addition to the sample pile. Wrote it up and laid it out. Cleared it with the money people so there will be the fewest misunderstandings as to the procedure.
