Prologue
We live and work in a media-saturated culture, continually bombarded by commentary, opinions, rumors, talking points and video.
Your challenge: Identify and locate authentic writers who can craft a message that pierces through the clutter and noise competing for the attention of your customers, readers and viewers.
Your preference: The right person with the “write stuff” – a wordsmith who can collect and report facts, promote your brand and corporate identity or simply weave a ribbon of prose to help your organization stand out amid the traffic.
We recognize and understand that you want someone reliable, someone willing to invest in your media property and someone dedicated to your media property’s progress.
On behalf of Wingfoot Media Inc., hi. We’re ready for you and look forward to assisting your team.
Learn more about who we are and what we do … particularly for you and your organization.
