About Artisan

Based in Portland, Oregon, Artisan Communications helps clients across the United States to market their businesses effectively and authentically by:

• Improving the way you talk to your clients and customers
• Juicing up your marketing efforts with copywriting and messages that are authentic to your brand
• Streamlining your plans for efficiency, consistency and results

We do it by providing copywriting, marketing communications consulting, and business writing coaching, and by offering clients a network of additional resources we trust. Working with Artisan expands your marketing staff, without the overhead. Whether you need to bring in a experienced writer, need to retool your whole strategy or simply outsource a communications project to make it happen, we can handle it. 

In addition to working direct with client companies, Artisan is available as a contributor to virtual project teams and as a subcontractor to marketing/advertising agencies.

Artisan's specialty is helping service-based businesses talk to and engage their customers in plain English (a lot of what we do translates seamlessly to product-based businesses, too).

We help clients not only say what they need to say, but simplify and focus their efforts with the right tools and key messages for their business situation. That could mean brainstorming and isolating your message, copywriting and editing to put it into words, giving you a hand with planning your communications strategy-- or taking the whole thing off your plate. Services include: 

• Copywriting services for online and offline marketing communications, from web copy to white papers
• Editorial development (writing, concept and editing) for editorial or digital products
• Ghostwriting for print and online materials to position your expertise
• Developmental edits and revision of in-progress editorial or marketing copy
• Coaching on copywriting, message development, marketing plans, promotional strategy
• Marketing and PR project management, including social media
