BioWrite-Communications is a consultancy founded by Patricia Simone; a marketing & communications strategist and writer, whose outside-the-box thinking is not for the faint of heart! With a background that includes stints in textile converting, international move management, boutique advertising and specialty publishing, being an entrepreneur in a “start-from-scratch” retail venture (for 7 years), and a published journalist (300+ and counting) Pattie has a reputation for assessing the terrain, cutting through the clatter and presenting a bunch of smart solutions that wow her clients. My Story: Once upon a time a feisty female was born …. No, no you don’t need to go THAT far back! Let’s cut to now: I’ve got a unique background which my clients profit from, & divide my time between mentoring, strategic planning, giving lively corporate and entrepreneurial success training programs (covering a roster of creative communications and entrepreneurial skills) speaking at colleges, biz associations and networking groups, and writing, both as a freelance journalist and business copywriter. Doin’ Great Business … Over the last 25 years, I’ve done retail and B-to-B sales, biz writing, production, sourcing, art direction, marketing, merchandising, account management, national business development, and fundraising for nonprofits. My forte is growing profits, through jumpstarting old marketing materials, identifying prospects, cold calling, getting through, listening, and making sales. Lots of them. Now I share all my success strategies with my clients. As a Journalist: Writing for print flexes a whole new set of communication muscles, which gives me a fresh perspective on “delivering the message.” I have bylines in daily, weekly, monthly and online venues, as well as in-house publications, on a variety of topics. Imaginative Wordsmithing Crisp, action-oriented copy writing for websites, Press Kits, Press Releases, white papers, education and engagement pieces for benefactors, etc., conducting interviews, independent research, producing, and editing till everyone’s feeling hunky dunky. Also available: Copy Fresh Services for worn out words; transforming flat and lifeless graphs into pithy prose that springs from the page! Serious topics addressed with innovative dignity. Whether I'm hired to write a Press Release, create an action plan, or mentor a CEO, my firm crafts refreshing, nimble solutions to help companies and people prosper.
