Though coming out of a journalistic background, today’s fast-moving, free-flowing media environment allows for – nay, demands! – that the modern freelancer maintain a flexible and varied approach to the world of work.

So, yeah, I take on some marketing and publicity clients. And, yes, there’s room for more on my agenda, thanks for asking.

The Royale: This one’s a combination of regular social media support and in-house blogging, for a popular bar and restaurant in St. Louis City. Also have added some smaller video components, as well as writing press releases and monthly mailers.

Savor Saint Louis Food Tours: Writing for the website, some photography and social media support, all rolled into this gig. Fun.

Previous Gigs

Also, from 2008-2010, wrote Cafe Chat features for The Riverfront Times, an advertorial piece that featured restaurant owners and managers. Special issue content was also produced, for restaurant special sections.

Blake Ashby: So, I know this guy who runs for President. During the spring and summer of 2012, I maintained social media support for the candidate, while arranging video shoots, soliciting external media requests, etc.

St. Louis Actors’ Studio: Social media and some PR work for an award-winning, local theatrical company in 2011.
