WayBetter, Inc. | 2018-Present
WayBetter’s games motivate you to get in shape by betting on your ability to succeed. It’s a science-backed process whose value proposition is hard to pin down in a punchy landing page, ad or email.
My approach is to tap into the angst people feel about summoning the will to make positive change. Then, I reassure them that a simple financial commitment can clear away that angst, by refocusing their minds on a more immediate, bite-sized problem: getting their $40 back!

Seriously, who wouldn’t want to go to med school in paradise? Caribbean med schools are a tough sell when better-known universities offer great education in the US. I helped increase AUA’s 2019 Fall & Spring applications by plugging their international curriculum and balmy tropical setting.

eCommerce:
Alan David Custom, Nov. 2017 |
Alan David Custom has been making bespoke suits for over a century, and this ad helped to expand their sale by drawing younger customers to the shop. Before I came on board, they had no social presence to speak of. I helped plug this authentic, timeless New York Garment District institution for a new generation of dapper men.
Product Descriptions
Sol
Savransky Diamonds, Jul. 2012 to Mar. 2014
Sol Savransky needed hundreds of unique product descriptions for their B2B jewelry eCommerce website. I provided unique descriptions for their best selling items, and also helped develop a system to generate descriptions based on combinations of style and size, all while using highly-targeted keywords.
Labcompare.Com, 2011 | Scientists and doctors need to be taken through the weeds with a voice that distills technical info. For each product I wrote for LabCompare.com, I spent hours researching the use of lab equipment and the scienti c laws that dictate their use.
