Assignments:
Project 1: Two tasks for Slixta: a blog post and a creative for their social media.
When I say I am a Creative Content Writer, I mean it. Having me on your creative team means that I will not only write copy for you, but I can also design the creatives for you. I am proficient in Canva. This was a post for Slixta for a Product Feature Poster for Slixta’s Lead Capture Tools.
I took a chance and wrote extra ordinary social media copy for Muzz and the CEO actually loved it.
