Background

About Mark Quirk

Throughout my career I have developed a versatile skillset that makes me valuable as a writer, editor and communications specialist. From the newsroom to the boardroom, I understand what it takes to create compelling narratives and execute strategic campaigns for a variety of industries including healthcare. In my current role as a Marketing & Communications Specialist in the healthcare sector, I’m responsible for publishing internal and external communications, collaborating on campaigns to promote services or providers and create collateral to market events and programs at the hospital. I also have duties involving both media and public relations. With skills in graphic design, writing for both traditional and digital mediums, editing and photography, I have created everything from a strategic Facebook campaign to a simple flyer. As a freelance copy writer and public relations professional I’ve produced press releases, guest blog posts, website copy, targeted pitches and well-written bylines, many resulting in media placements in publications such as The Boston Globe, BostInno, and NECN. My own writing has been featured in publications such as the Associated Press, Yahoo, and the Chicago Tribune. My specialties include, but aren't limited to writing, editing, website copy, media relations, social media, technology, content creation and project management.
