Background

About Eric Marks

If you have a story to tell and an audience to reach, AI isn't going to help you make the connections that you want to make. I am a versatile writer/researcher with a strong work ethic and a record of achievement in the art of persuasion. I have extensive experience as an editor, oped writer and news reporter. My key skills in my full-time job are preparing major gift proposals and stewardship reports, writing speeches, event scripts, media releases and blog posts, developing oped content and engaging in strategic communications. My freelance portfolio is focused on helping clients bring their ideas to a mass audience through mainstream and social media. My published work in the arts includes literary criticism, literary biography, personal essays and poetry. My skills as a researcher are augmented by access to the global Rhodes Scholar alumni community and the world's No. 1 university, the University of Oxford. I believe all successful communication depends upon respect, clarity and the ability to tell a compelling story. I can help you tell your story in a way that is authentic and effective at engaging your chosen audience.
