Content Developer, 2014-Present
Currently, I write all of the marketing material (e.g. whitepapers, eBooks, blog posts) for a company that does beta test management in the technology industry. I create content for our sales team to use to intrigue potential clients. I basically highlight how difficult (and important) the beta testing process is for technology products. I, then, plug our services in a very attractive manner, using clever infographics, and brilliantly written copy. I also layout and design every single piece of content that I write.
