Dave Landholt

My name is Dave and I'm a freelance copywriter who has worked in the sales and management industry for nearly ten years. I know how to catch a customer’s attention by using persuasive, accurate and easy-to-understand copy. If your creative team is overworked, or you just need a fresh perspective or a new set of ideas to help sell your products and services, that's where I can help. I have a communications background and started out writing descriptions of real estate listings for a friend of mine. At the end of the quarter that I began writing her descriptions, my friend’s sales increased by nearly twenty percent from what they had been in previous quarters over the preceding four years (she is a great salesperson, just not on paper). Along with real estate, I have experience working in the commercial tire, communications, retail sales and financial industries. For my employers in these industries, I have written sales letters, proposals, advertising, and case histories, along with clear and concise explanations of new products, and revisions to existing ones. In my freelance work, I’ve also handled tasks that have included brochures, articles for newsletters, catalog pages, proofreading, editing, and web site content.

Though my love of the written word is strong, sports, music, and cartoons also play a significant role in my life.

I have written blogs, newsletters, advertisements, packaging, emails, Facebook and Twitter feeds, press releases, videos, magazine articles, film reviews, retail websites—just about every type of marketing collateral I can think of. I write quickly and thoughtfully. I enjoy the process of researching whatever topic each project demands and deciding the best way to present it to the target audience. I understand the importance of multitasking and hitting deadlines. I am bright with an excellent sense of humor, which allows me to collaborate with other people freely and without ego. I believe my experience and skills are perfectly in tune with the Copywriter you are looking for.
