An entrepreneurial journalist and collaborative corporate copywriter, I bring 35 years' experience to every print, digital, and presentation project my clients and I partner on. The SBA’s 2001 national Small Business Journalist of the Year, my work product - whether performed alone or with internal or outside marcom, graphic design and / or Website development teams - brings a fresh perspective to content creation. My freelance career includes corporate copywriter and journalist (1989 to present); subject matter expert, spokesperson, and consultant on home-based business and telework (1996 to present); and RV and outdoor lifestyle blogger (2017 to present).Testimonials...I’ve worked on several big projects and special reports with Jeff over the years and have been delighted with the results every time. Jeff is far more than a writer. He’s got a winning personality that helps create great rapport with clients and stakeholders. He makes everybody happy, from the client to the advertisers to the designers to the production staff. Jeff has strong reporting skills, turns in clean copy, does his own fact-checking, writes his own headlines, turns around revisions quickly, never balks at requests for extra work, never cops an attitude and always meets deadlines. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather put on a big project.Janice Sharp, Associate Publisher (Ret.), Florida Trend MagazineJeff has been an invaluable, independent member of our team. As our go-to marketing and copy writer, he helps deliver measurable results with little oversight required. His ability to turn work on short deadlines keeps projects advancing and on schedule. To me, Jeff defies the definition of the ‘virtual’ worker; he's an active and involved part of our team.Frank Casale, Founder/CEO, Outsourcing InstituteHaving completed several convention daily projects with Jeff as writer, I'm always impressed with his ability to craft an article, accurately, quickly and thoroughly. With his ability to deliver quality copy on time – time after time, it’s always a pleasure working with Jeff.Richard Westlund, President, Westlund CommunicationsI've worked with Jeff Zbar for years, and the results could not be any better. It is refreshing to finally work with someone who can so easily understand and grasp our business, our culture, and our goals. Jeff’s work is consistently spot on with what we ask, delivered both on time and on message. He is a true professional and someone that I proudly considered to be part of my “extended” team.Alicia Laszewski, Brand Ethos
