Welcome to Aisle W

Aisle W: The Spot for Writing

Crafting content to bring arcane concepts to life – to shape messages into vibrant narrative – is what I’m all about.

I’m not just a marketing communications professional but a writer at heart. My conviction is that the right words resonate and influence, reflecting the core of your offering, organization and brand to your audience.

I’ve written speeches for CEOs of billion-dollar firms who discarded other writers’ scripts. I’ve developed speeches for executives who needed help getting their message on-point. I create thought leadership that influences, marketing copy that sells, social media that cuts through, and employee communications that engage. I can help marketers refine their value proposition, brand position, and hone their voice.

I’m an award-winning marketing and communications writer, editor, and project manager with 15+ years’ experience serving the likes of Ernst & Young, Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase, Towers Watson, New York Life and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).

Let’s talk about you, and how I can help.

What is net zero?

If you follow sustainability and climate topics, you’ve probably heard the term net zero thrown around. Still puzzled? A net-zero gain of GHG in the atmosphere is achieved when the level of GHG emissions released into the atmosphere is equal to the amount removed. This is also referred to as carbon neutrality. CO is a gas found in the Earth’s atmosphere—and it’s part of the planet’s air, along with nitrogen, oxygen, methane, and other gases. CO helps to trap heat, but too much of it can cause

TOP-ED — PETER BURGER in O'Dwyer’s

“PR Takeaways from Amazon’s HQ2 Debacle”: “Companies have personalities too. In the case of its HQ2 withdrawal, Amazon’s personality was seen as arrogant and petulant. In a nutshell, PR consists of compelling information communicated by the right people to the right people. Namely, the message of how HQ2 would benefit working class, small business owners and consumers — not just technology and knowledge workers — needed to reach these audiences via news sites, op-eds, radio and more vehicles. Amazon, a master of logistics, has a large warehouse facility in Staten Island. “Enlisting these workers to speak on its behalf would’ve provided a major counterpoint to the company’s critics.”
