HI, I’m SUSAN.

A CONTENT STRATEGIST IN SEARCH OF MORE MAGIC MOMENTS

Driving force

Whenever I’m working on a really juicy challenge, and suddenly, creative inspiration strikes—there’s this magical feeling that washes over me. The best way I can describe it is a mixture of curiosity, possibility, euphoria, and enthusiasm. The kind of moment when I want to proclaim, “YESSS! That’s it!”

I vividly recall experiencing this “eureka” sensation many times, including:



The cubicle conversation

when three fellow copywriters and I coined the name of our blog-to-be, Working Moms Against Guilt, which turned into a passion project that drew national media attention.



The tech startup brainstorm

when I wondered aloud: “Hey, what if we applied the principles of long-lead editorial planning to tech-enabled marketing for Pinterest?”



The board meeting

when I realized our church could use automation and drip campaigns to grow membership—without requiring extra time and help from volunteers.

Truth be told, these are the times when I really come alive. When I can draw from all my years of experience in journalism, print and digital publishing, marketing, advertising, and technology, and make a real, tangible contribution to the world. When I’ve got all cylinders firing, all systems go. It’s a beautiful thing.

As a passionate, experienced content strategist, I relish these magical moments in my day-to-day work. When clients need help solving their latest problem or meeting a new objective, that’s my chance. To get the creative juices flowing. To seek out bold, unexpected connections. To channel everything I know and learn from others into the next big idea.
