Martha Davidson Email & Phone Number

I am a writer, editor, and proofreader – a professional communicator dedicated to developing accurate, clear, and engaging editorial and marketing content for corporations and nonprofits. I am carrying this approach forward as a user experience (UX) writer, combining my new skills in digital accessibility with my strong journalistic and marketing communications foundation. My varied writing experience includes concept and story development; interviewing, researching, and crafting news and feature stories; marketing communications; web content; promotional materials; executive messaging; and sales proposals.I am highly skilled in fact-checking, copyediting, and overall document review of long and short-format editorial content, product catalogs, marketing materials, and social media. As a proofreader, I often catch more grammar, punctuation, and style errors than software which relies on artificial intelligence. I have a strong work ethic. I am a collaborative team member and creative problem-solver.

Henkel Corporation is a global giant in the adhesives industry. What does that mean? It means every marketing piece going out of the creative services department must meet strict standards. As a copy editor and proofreader on contract at Henkel's North American headquarters, my role went far beyond checking for typos. My responsibilities included proofreading, fact-checking, and ensuring that materials—including product brochures, catalogs, sell sheets, client stories, event materials, videos, and blogs—complied with brand, editorial, and legal standards. My background in journalism fueled my propensity for teamwork and meeting tight deadlines.
