Demian Farnworth’s Summary
Over eight years in web copywriting, advertising and marketing.
My main gig is writing clear, concise and compelling web copy that demands attention, creates desire and compels action.
Part of my job is to create web content strategies to help people increase online visibility.
I have an inexhaustible hunger for understanding negotiation and human psychology. I love to read literature, history, economics, philosophy, theology and marketing. And I make liberal use of everything I learn to help people and websites dominate what they do.
Demian Farnworth’s Specialties:
I have a good head for persuasion and direct response marketing. Combine that with four years of web usability, content architecture, social media and SEO experience and I've figured out a predictable way to help websites and blogs gain recognition, build traffic and capture subscribers.
