I have 14 years' experience in advertising, writing for Coke, telco, pharma, fastfood, airline and retail. I love transforming boring technical copy into material that is quick and easy to read. I also manage to turn around work in record time.
I transform cold information into interesting, clever writing that makes its readers smile, after all, great copy should be engaging, entertaining, even empowering. When a reader feels that she is getting more out of what she is reading, she is likely to be more receptive to what is being said - and be persuaded to buy, subscribe or do whatever it is the material is intended to encourage her to do.
Grew up loving sentence structures in English grammar class, so I relish even the seemingly tedious task of breaking down a long-winded sentence, identifying its subject and verb - specially if it's a very complicated sentence - then simplifying it into something more easily understood.
I am Asian, have lived in Asia most of my life, so I have a good grasp of what kind of English most Asians comprehend and prefer to speak.
Where the material is very bland and boring, I can spice it up so that it captures the imagination of its readers - holding them captive and eager to buy into what is being sold.
My writing is quite casual, conversational. But where necessary, I can deliver business-like copy as well.
