Text / Copy for SOE (please see editing, content below)
My degree was focused on Public Opinion Research. SOE reminds me of polls. If someone says SOE, the first thing I think of is heard in the classic TV game show, “Survey says....!” Informal and anecdotal interviews can be quick and valuable for different perspectives. SOE repeats similar strategies in our digital era like those provided by public opinion research firms 30 years ago. The goals are still about showing what people think and want. We match that key vocabulary to show up in the results. We predict how people will search and match that to the splash. Experience in polling and debate has sharpened my skills of persuasion.
Copy / Text / Content Editing
My 27 years as a teacher used my talent in language and gave me the skills to define topics and explain issues. Editing and writing were always a requirement and I’m prepared to use that experience. I can distill the issue and distinguish the core question. If working in editing, content or promotion I can now use these skills to help clarify your message and purpose. I’ll work to make sure you’re point is clear in a way that’s easy to read.
I can take any situation and tell you the bumper sticker slogan with 5 or 6 words that allude to the full explanation. Sometimes a customer just needs the hook, but others want to hear the whole story. I’m skilled in recognizing logical fallacies, and experienced when to honestly employ rhetorical devices if the purpose is in earnest. The promoter and the audience must relate to each other. The message is what’s being promoted, and the purpose is why it’s important. This works when arguing about anything between criticizing an unpopular fiscal policy or advertising for soap.
Being a teacher was practice in focusing on a topic and writing. I’m ready to use everything I learned.
