Social Media, Writing, and Campaign Work Samples
My previous employer, Onyx Creative Group, re-positioned itself as a business consultancy that specializes
in Business and Life Design with an emphasis on teaching small business owners and entrepreneurs how to
discover the coveted happy medium between doing the work that you love and living the life that you want
to live simultaneously. This was serviced through custom training, 1 on 1 coaching, and comprehensive
workshops. I spearheaded work on various original visual marketing materials across all of our social media
platforms, including infographics, pictographs and flowcharts. I then worked to leverage Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, and LinkedIn to help promote these programs using the aforementioned originally designed
materials. Work consisted of gathering background information and research on various concepts
associated with business, and working with my designers to turn the research into design pieces meant to
engage and promote Onyx services:

Professional Writing and Communications Samples
I have included links to samples of my writing in different capacities.
● Scriptwriting
○ One of the clients that we had on retainer with Onyx Creative Group was Barineau Heating
and Air Conditioning, a local HVAC service provider in Tallahassee. The voiceover for these
two ads, which promoted Barineau's Total Comfort Service Agreement, began as scripts that
were drafted, written and edited by myself on behalf of Onyx Creative Group. I had to write
these ads for the purposes of effectively communicating the intended message while
adhering to broadcast rules and regulations, and a 30-second time frame.
■ 1. Barineau Heating and Air Conditioning - "The Waiting Game"
■ 2. Barineau Heating and Air Conditioning - "Cheap Date"
● Blogging
○ The following links are blog posts that were written and edited by myself and officially
published on behalf of Awards4U for the purposes of organization promotion and
communications.
■ “The Importance of Motivating Volunteers.”
■ “Keeping Your Workforce Happy.”
● Website Copy
○ At Onyx, most web work was project-based (even though a few of our retainer clients did
utilize our web development services. My role was in the initial content direction of the
projects (inputting and concepting content via a conjunctive effort with the client) and the
ongoing back-end content management of the web pages for the clients that we held on
retainer. These are links to sites that I actively managed and produced content for.
■ Awards4U (Including blog)
■ The Gabor Agency (Copy and Content Management)
■ Boma Legacy (Content Management)
● Creative Campaigning
○ Much of my purview also included concepting and execution for creative social media
campaigns, including this campaign on behalf of Awards4U, a small business recognition and
award retailer in the local Tallahassee area. After multiple meetings, the team devised a
campaign strategy to be executed across social media channels that positioned Awards4U as
a recognition destination that specialized in all forms of recognition, not just the ordinary
(sports, academic achievement, etc.). Called “Recognition 4 Everyone,” work consisted us
asking willing participants to briefly talk about who they wanted to recognize in their lives
and why, and what special award would you give them if you could. The videos and
7. accompanying images were placed on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, as well as the
Awards4U blog. These are a few of the campaign videos. I played a key role in the
conception of the theme and the execution of the campaign itself, both on-site and in digital
sharing.
■ Recognition 4 Everyone - Introduction to Campaign
■ Recognition 4 Everyone - The Wisdom Award
■ Recognition 4 Everyone - The Endless Love Award
Lastly, in my estimation, if you would like to gain the best understanding of my writing and creative talent,
I invite you to visit my website, Conscious Approach. It is a creative endeavor of mine that helps to fuel my
juices for cultural commentary and societal analysis. It speaks to the very heart of what I am passionate
about and how my appreciation for the written word has helped to cultivate a lasting desire to create
content that is meaningful and valuable. The content is personal in nature, but I stand by the idea that it is
the best showcase of my writing abilities.
