I excavate, celebrate, and translate your brand’s essence into measurable, profitable impact with words and sound content strategy — on time, and with a smile.
Stories that make dollars (and sense).
Ashley Strahm
Content Strategist + Storyteller
Present-day marketer.
Forever journalist.
The newsroom hasn’t left me yet, and that’s good news for you.
I get it: we’re in the age of AI. Call me an old-school millennial (I grew up with newsprint-stained fingertips, after all), but I still believe in the power of diligent research, being easy to work with, and spending the time to ensure your work sounds exactly like you intend.
Oh yeah — and I know all that SEO, PPC, and B2C-2-B strategy stuff too.
Good content is an art.
Keeping the humanity in digital storytelling
I work *with* tech stacks to tell human-first stories. Your brand? The canvas. Your digital tools? The brushes. The colors? They’re in each word, blog, post, and ad, written by good old, human me.
Centering you and your brand — without compromise
Sure, I bring expertise and I’ll work to create the most impactful content possible for you. But you’re not hiring me to interject. You’re hiring me to amplify. I’ll relish my role as your content vessel.
Remaining committed to the what and the how
If you want content done by a robot or a faceless doer, there are sites for that. If you want to work *with someone* who takes the time to understand how the pieces fit together and delivers what you need on time, let’s talk.
Come to me for:
Storytelling
Copywriting and editing for *any* style guide (though I am an AP Style queen!)
Website and landing page content development
Email and lifecycle campaigns
Research reports, white papers, and ebooks
Ghostwriting (for everyone — including C-suite execs)
Video and podcast scripts
Interviews and case studies
Strategy
Website redesign and information architecture
Creative campaign development
Personal and organizational brand messaging and guides
Internal comms planning
Social and editorial strategy and support
PR support, pitching, and press releases
Employer brand support
Smiles
A committed, dedicated partner who takes pride in delivering work on time
A collaborative enthusiast beloved by clients and internal teams alike
A meticulous writer who was a project manager in a past (present?!) life
An energetic ally that keeps you inspired throughout your content project
An epic storyteller (ask me about my stint on a gameshow, my international adventures, and my previous life as a roller skater and rugby player)
Nearly two decades of expertise in journalism and content development
From a Swiss army knife — and great human
