Matthew Phillips-ManningFreelance Writer + Storyteller
Jun. 2013RemoteI dream big and bring worlds to life through words. I believe storytelling is the gateway to empathy—that words and the journeys they create shift perspectives and shape worldviews. At the very least, they connect us to the most human and innate parts of ourselves. As a writer and brand strategist, I’ve helped brands of all sizes find purpose in their words and confidence in their voice. We all have something to say. I help you find it, name it and make it plain. Whether strategy, scripting, articles, brand copy, digital or campaign content, I got you. Wordsmithing is what I do. Previous work includes: - Nike
- Ford Motor Company
- American Red Cross
- Notre
- Etc.
