Hi, I’m
Ann Wylie.
At some point in my career, I’ve probably done the job you’re in right now. So I know how hard you work to write messages that get the word out.
During my 30-plus-year career, I have sat in virtually every seat at the communication table.
I’ve been a:
Graduate student. I’m a nerd. I loved the research. Which means that while you’re out and about on a Friday night, I’m likely to be cuddled up with a warm study. That’s where I get my scientific, proven-in-the-lab best practices.
PR professional in a boutique PR firm. Hey, not everyone can place stories in “Waste Age” and “Parking Today”!
Employee communicator at Hallmark Cards. There, my channel was named best of its kind in the world by the International Association of Business Communicators.
Editor of a nationally acclaimed executive magazine. I interviewed CEOs, economists, engineers and surgeons. I learned what keeps executives up at night — and what makes organizations tick.
Professor of graduate writing classes. That’s when I started developing the tricks and techniques I teach today.
Freelance writer for national magazines. Don’t hate me! But as a freelancer I conducted face-to-face interviews with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Robert Redford and Robert Downey Junior.
Consultant and writer for organizations like FedEx, Progressive Insurance and Whole Foods. That work earned more than 60 communication awards, including two IABC Gold Quills — the Pulitzer Prizes of business communications.
Marketing writer and editor. I’ve helped NASA write about rocket science and neurosurgeons communicate about brain surgery. I can help you get the word out about the great — and complicated — things your organization is doing, too.
Writing trainer. I’ve traveled from Hollywood to Helsinki helping thousands of communicators at hundreds of organizations polish their skills and gain new inspiration for their work.
Industry leader. I serve as the Public Relations Society of America’s national writing coach, an International Association of Business Communicator Top-Ranked Speaker and one of Business Wire’s top trainers.
Please let me know how I can help you reach more readers and get the word out.
