Paul Hammond, Co-Owner and Managing Director, Free Range
During the height of the pandemic, our agency was short-staffed on copywriting and project management. We needed a proactive, self-driven creative who could understand our audience base and clientele, and write great copy on behalf of nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations.
Having Myles on our team has been a great asset for Free Range. A deep listener, Myles has a highly articulate communication style and great writing capabilities. Our clients have been satisfied with his work—and so have we! I look forward to continuing our work with Myles in the future.
Eera Babtiwale, Director of Sustainability, Mt. San Antonio College
We wanted to create a short video that would explain the concept of “sustainability” to students, faculty and staff, and outline how Mt. SAC can help students prepare for further studies or careers in sustainability. But we struggled to find an inspiring and succinct way of communicating everything that “sustainability” can mean.
As nonprofessionals, we were not aware of all the details that go into a production like this, for example having a voice actor and how much that impacts the feel/vibe of the video. Myles laid out a clear work plan, and led us smoothly through the whole process, acting as our companion through the entire project. He was very patient, and always willing to listen to our ideas! He took the time to make sure we were happy with the end product. We now have a polished, inclusive, and easy-to-understand video that we can share campus-wide—in classrooms, at events, and on our website. I highly recommend working with Myles on your next video project.
Stephen Danner, Director of Development, Stand.earth
As a growing environmental advocacy organization, we needed more cohesive messaging to help support our ambitions to create an even bigger impact. We wanted a content strategy that would help reduce the cognitive dissonance it sometimes took for new audiences to understand exactly who we are and what we do.
During our work together, Myles crafted timeless and adaptable writing for our brand, and came up with a number of inventive “good moves” that gave us new ways to speak about ourselves. We also enjoyed efficient project management and easy communication throughout the process.
We’re very happy with our new web copy and fundraising materials. I recommend Myles to anyone looking for a content or messaging partner.
Kyle Billings, Marketing Director, North America, Lyre’s Spirit Co.
I needed a well-written and compelling story around Lyre’s ready-to-drink cocktails for a prominent magazine publication. During our time working together, Myles was incredibly professional. He responded quickly and managed the writing process artfully, keeping me in the loop throughout. Plus, his writing is excellent. He has a natural facility with building intrigue and providing exactly the type of text we needed. Editing was a breeze, as his writing was a joy to read! We received a beautifully written article with historical references within the brief submitted.
I was impressed. You put your brand in the hands of a writer and hope for the best. With Myles, that’s what we got.
Tyler Hays, Founder, Vessul Creative
We’re a small team at Vessul Creative, which means that we all wear many hats. While we love balancing business logistics with the creative process of making video content, it can sometimes get overwhelming. Having someone like Myles who can take on part of the work is a huge help, and makes it easier for us to produce top-notch creative.
Hiring Myles as a contracted writer has been extremely beneficial for us. He is a team player, and a fantastic idea generator. I felt I could trust that he would always bring his best, and offer great new ideas. He helped us achieve a stellar end product with a video promo that looks and feels very professional and has great messaging. I’d recommend him to anyone!
Kerry Pinnisi, LMHC
As a mental health professional building out content to attract potential clients in an underserved group (mainly queer and polyamorous Millennials), I needed help in communicating who I am and what I offer to folks who haven’t met me. Working through a branding workshop with Myles gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to get my message out there. This might be an odd word to use in a business setting, but I’d say he brought a strong sense of compassion to our work together. He made me feel safe enough to share my biggest ideas, and take some creative risks. Plus, he somehow made the whole process fun—and I usually hate marketing!
Myles took the mystery out of this vague concept called ‘branding,’ and made it into something accessible that I can actually use to grow my business. I highly recommend him for anybody who wants to get a holistic—and targeted—sense of who they are professionally, whether or not they have an outward-facing brand yet. Thanks Myles!
Kelly “Red” O’Keefe
I completed my first Branding Workshop with Myles, and I could not have asked for someone more welcoming or professional. Being my first time participating in a workshop like this, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and was admittedly nervous that I would be overwhelmed or underprepared. Instead, I found his workshop to be seamless, thorough, and enjoyable. In only a few short hours, we were able to collaborate on a brand strategy to carry my business ideas forward. Myles took great care in making sure that he understood exactly what I was looking for, which was extremely important to me. I would highly recommend Myles for any professional, whether they have had prior experience in brand strategizing or not. Thanks Myles!
Emily Dunbar, Wisecrack
Myles is an excellent writer and collaborator. Not only does he take immense pride in the quality of his work, but he also is just as pleasant and professional in person! Working with Myles has always been a joy, and I hope to continue to work with him in the future!
Alec Opperman, Wisecrack
Myles is an extremely talented writer. He has completed countless scripts for Wisecrack, all of which require condensing large amounts of research into a compelling narrative. He’s very responsive to feedback, although generally doesn’t require much.
