Agency work

We can win you more business
Whether you need a single press release, a list of things that need to get done every week or a last-second emergency job, we’re a great choice. For ongoing work we’ll assign a subject matter expert to handle your deliverables, eliminating the usual contractor hassles.

Agencies trust us enough to let us work with their best clients, including Merck, Accenture, Kodak, Southwest Airlines, Cisco Systems, Cognizant, and in one instance, some quick PSA script rewrite work for actor James Caan. We do such a good job that we often win additional work for the agencies that hire us – see below. For specific examples of deliverables please peruse our Portfolio pages.

How we can increase your revenues
An agency, trying to win work from CENTURY 21, called to ask if we had any real estate samples. We did, and we sent them in minutes. Thanks to the quality of our samples, they got the work. We subsequently did the copy, and CENTURY 21 raved about our work. Here’s what the agency relayed to us: “… they had GLOWING reviews – not only for the great writing, but for the excellent client service. Your great work has earned us more writing assignments …” Now that’s ROI.

We’re senior-level people with agency experience
We teamed up because we like freedom and enjoy producing good work together. 
We know you need:
• Sensational service for your clients.
• Reduced costs, especially as compared to full-timers. Our “bucket-o-hours” program offers steep discounts.
• Quality. We’re so good that some agencies keep us in reserve for when their clients are unhappy with their in-house deliverables.

Confidentiality prevents us from listing all of our agency clients.
A partial list:
• Belding Associates, San Francisco, CA • Blanc & Otus • Fleishman-Hillard • Brodeur Worldwide • Capwell Communications, Newport Beach, CA • Domus, Philadelphia, PA •  Sergeant Marketing, Montville, New Jersey • TenGoldenRules, Boca Raton, FL.

How we charge
Send something you have sitting around; we’ll tell you what we would charge to do it. Or we can hash out pricing for a specific job during a five-minute call.
