Monica Dolecka

As a junior copy-writer, I bring a lot of creativity as well as analytical skills to the table.
Through my ideas and ultimately my words, I am able to create brand awareness for potential consumers but I can also just get a simple message across. I enjoy connecting with a specific reader or many members of an organization through my writing. My writing is effective as it is in tune with the psychology behind social media marketing and knowing how to connect with the right type of people...at the right time. My ultimate goal as a copywriter is to eventually gain a reader's trust and curiosity so that they feel inspired enough to take some kind of action in response to my writing.
