I launched Swearingen Media in 2003 after countless business associates expressed their need for experienced but affordable written communications and marketing consultation. I found that business owners understood the importance of targeted and thoughtful marketing planning and execution, yet many could not justify adding a marketing staff. Some had seasonal promotions that were important to them, others anniversary campaigns, and many just needed to hand off the details of branding, Web content, ad design, press releases, and social media considerations. For them, I have worked diligently to answer that call.
Swearingen Media offers in-depth marketing consultation, strategically written promotional materials for corporations and non-profits, ad copy and design, media contact list building, Web site navigation design, and Web content writing with careful focus on metatags and search engine optimization (SEO), among other offerings.
For magazines and corporate storytelling, it is my personal challenge as a writer to captivate your audience with a gripping and inspirational tale. I strive to place the reader in the room by way of comfortable, descriptive language. I am drawn to stories of personal triumph and selfless works, understanding that humility is the ability to recognize one’s self-worth rather than self-importance.
My years as a journalist and Chicago media professional have placed me in interview situations with many celebrities, ranging from members of the Rolling Stones to renowned spiritual leaders. It is my goal to maintain a high level of poise and professionalism in all instances, understanding that each of us is special and has something to say.
