Reid Davis’s Summary
email: reid [at] tastemakercommunications [dot] com
People generally want to communicate clearly. Instead, they often verbosely obfuscate, escalating into impenetrable obscurantism. (See what I mean?)
I can help.
With a decade of experience—from editing a respected national magazine to working in the Fortune 500—I can help you get the point across. Perhaps you want to sell a product, service, personality or concept? Or maybe you want to rally employees around your mission, or convince key external audiences to come aboard?
To get there, you need focused, expert communication. In a nutshell, the right words in the right places. Feeling the pain of the wrong words in the wrong places? Please don't hesitate to drop me a line.
