As MNTN's "brand voice czar," I created, implemented, and regularly maintain a company-wide style guide used by teams from marketing and product to sales, customer success, learning and enablement, and beyond. Working closely with a team of 10-15 copywriters at any one time, I review and edit a high volume of external-facing B2B copy for brand voice and tone, readability, simplicity, and overall coherence across MNTN, MNTN Research, and QuickFrame brands. (Copy = blogs, SEO and sponsored content, emails, paid and organic social, product pages, internal educational materials, decks and communiqués for webinars and events, research reports, whitepapers, podcast and video ad scripts, UX copy and product notifications, sales messaging, etc.) I collaborate strategically across content, product marketing, creative, and product design teams to guide messaging on product launches and other major campaigns with complicated technological and data components. I'm also the in-house go-to for questions about the Oxford comma and the correct use of emdashes.
