No retainer minimums designed to feel safe. No vague discovery processes. Clear scope, clear output, clear expectations.
Ongoing senior writing and editorial strategy for a brand or agency team. You're getting someone who already understands your buyer, your vertical, and what good looks like — and who doesn't need a three-week ramp to be useful.
Best fit for OEM brand content teams, agencies holding automotive or B2B accounts, and companies with a marketing function but no senior content person on staff.
Fixed-scope diagnostic that gives you a clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and what to do next. Delivered as a written roadmap you can actually execute.
Common entry point for brands that suspect their content has a problem but aren't sure what it is. Frequently converts to a retainer because the audit surfaces work worth doing.
OEM strategy, EV coverage, dealership operations, fleet procurement, commercial vehicles. Written for the buyer who can tell when a writer doesn't know the product — because I do.
CBT News bylines. BusesForSale operational experience. Six years covering this industry from the inside. You'll know within one piece whether it's right.
Your name on writing that actually sounds like a human being with a point of view. Executive thought leadership, LinkedIn articles, industry bylines, brand voice development.
This works because I've spent a career writing in other people's voices and understanding what they're actually trying to say — which is usually more specific and more interesting than what they write when left alone.
"No three-week ramp. I've been in this industry. The brief I need from you is shorter than you think."
"Steven did a great job helping us and the text fitted very well to our writing style and technical content. If we would need more support in the future, we would definitely hire him again."
"For around a year, it was a pleasure to work with Steven as a freelance writer. He delivers quality and also provides extra feedback and ideas to make the work better. We would work with him again."
I'll read it and tell you whether I can help. No pitch deck, no discovery call that goes nowhere. Just a direct answer.
