hi, i'm jordana
To quote '90s R&B group All-4-One—(because why wouldn't you?)—"she's got skillz." That she—who is me—spent more than two decades honing those skills—first as a project manager and freelance journalist, then as a marketing and PR generalist, and then as an editor and publisher of a number of different local (to S.C.) publications.
After leaving that world behind, as a seasoned publishing and marketing professional, I became the face behind MegWorks, and began working as a pen-for-hire for a number of agencies, companies and start-ups across the U.S and Canada. (I also own a few other companies and teach journalism at a Division 1 University ...because free time is over-rated.)
I've been doing this for what feels like forever, but time can be like that when you're doing what you love. And because I'm doing what I love, it shows—even in the work I accomplish behind the scenes for my clients.
So, if you're looking for someone who can see the big picture for your company, and help you achieve some of those Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals, send me a note and let's chat!
