ONWORD and UPWORD
Writing great stories for greater endings.
who we are

It's a Classic Tale of "Marketer Meets Storyteller."

Once upon a time, a young graduate of a top-10 university was looking for a career that would fuel her passion for words. She found a job as a junior copywriter at a mid-size promotions agency; and within a few months, her boss had her writing for some of their biggest clients.

In
working for agencies, non-profits and a couple of small publishing companies, it became clear that traditional advertising needed a facelift. Internet ads were too expensive and distracting. Brochures were obsolete. And white papers? Zzzzz...... This writer knew she had to find the missing link... the "secret ingredient" that would put excitement into her client's campaigns and money in their pockets.

She dug into the research...talked with clients... and at last, she discovered the secret to every successful marketing strategy: a great story.

It was time to make a change. Armed with wisdom, experience and the belief that every organization has a worthwhile story to tell, she began helping clients find their voice... inspire their prospects... and create true fairy-tale endings.
