Derek: Marketing communications pro

I am a hybrid offering, with combined experience as a copywriter, researcher, teacher and journalist. I have more than a decade of experience as a marketing communications professional, on staff at Wunderman headquarters for 8 years as a writer/editor, with experience at other agencies like Ogilvy, Draft/FCB, MRM, and Rapp Collins, as well as for smaller agencies. Time Warner, Microsoft, HP, Citibank, Genworth, American Express, Pfizer, Roche, and Johnson and Johnson are among past clients.

I teach for MediaBistro and have an MFA in creative writing, and have had clips in Publishers Weekly, Newsday, and a number of business magazines/site. Based in NYC, I am very experienced at remote work, and short-term travel and even relocating possible for the right position.
