Meet Sue-Ann
Thanks for your interest in me and Write Mix for Business.
Mostly, I’m a hard worker. Always have been. I think I get that “hard-working, never miss a deadline and keep your word” work mentality mostly from my hard-working parents. Love them.
But, here’s a little more about me that brings me to you with a desire to help businesses grow.
Just know, I love business, I love marketing, and since beginning my digital freelance writing career, I have been studying everything content marketing from copywriting technique to blogging to learning WordPress.org for business blog hubs. And I can’t get enough. Love it all and think it, live it, learn it, and drink it in daily.
Not only can content marketing help your business grow, but also, to do better, with content writing that brings value to your audience while supporting your brand, unique value prop, and precious reputation.
