Bio
Clay Steakley
I supervised Cole for four years, and in that time he proved to be a resourceful, talented, efficient professional and also a great co-worker. As a copywriter, Cole has an approachable, conversational voice. He can communicate big stories with concision, and he has a real talent for converting raw data into compelling stories. As a content professional, he managed enormous amounts of content for large design/build projects and showed a great eye for what story is most effective where. His very first project with me (when he was still an intern) was organizing lists of student-athletes from a university dating back to the 1800s. The lists came in different formats from different organizations, and Cole organized them brilliantly. When he was done, he had some 15,000 athletes organized and error-free. Since then, Cole has gone on to manage content on projects large and small — writing copy, creating content strategy and collecting images, memorabilia and video. Cole will make a fantastic addition to any team.

Cole is a thoughtful and competent creative with a style (both personal and professional) that will be of value to any client or organization. I've watched Cole grow into a professional that, above all else, takes great pride in his work product -- you never have to worry about quality when it comes to Cole. On a personal level, his passion and propensity for writing has served me well, whether it be a review of a resume, important email, or advertising literature. Your organization would be fortunate to have Cole as a resource.
