Content Marketing Manager

As the head of the content marketing team, I help our clients use words to their advantage.

I manage a team of wonderful wordsmiths and craft compelling content so that our clients can use both longform and shortform content to achieve their marketing goals. 

If you want a more exciting description, you can say that I’m the word warden. A copy connoisseur. A prose pro. In short, I word good.

Marketing Hot Take

Long-form content full of one-sentence paragraphs are obnoxious and bad.

The allure of single-sentence paragraphs makes sense – they grab attention and are nice and short for readers who scan through content. The problem is that overusing these piddly paragraphs poses some potent problems.

  • They make your content feel fragmented and choppy.
  • They still create that dreaded “wall of text” that can overwhelm readers.
  • They sap your snazzy one-liners of dramatic impact when every paragraph is that short.
  • They can feel forced unless you’re really good writer.

Paragraphs exist for a reason. They organize your thoughts into logical groups that convey important information to readers. You don’t want to bore readers with a colossal collection of characters, but a few sentences grouped together isn’t going to ruin your business.

This isn’t to say that you should never use single-sentence paragraphs. Variety is great! The occasional one-liner can leave a lasting impression when done well. Dozens of them, not so much.

Favorite project or outcome:

Does it feel a bit awkward to call out something I wrote for Aztek? Yeah, but I’m going to do it anyway.

Change is scary, and Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) can be scary for businesses that rely on organic traffic. I wrote a guide to educate people about SGE, and it was a sizable project. It took a lot of time, research, and organization to capture all the nuances of the topic, and I’m thrilled with the outcome

Thing that I like that nobody else does:

It’s statistically improbable that I like something that nobody else does, but I know that I’m one of only a couple of Survivor fans at Aztek (shoutout to Boom Diddly). 

My wife got me into the show around San Juan Del Sur (aka season 29) and it’s only one of a few shows that I watch when it airs live. I completely get why it’s not for some people, but I genuinely enjoy the gameplay. Plus, my wife and I try to predict the winners of each season and I’m up six to three, so I have that going for me.

Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.
