"You have a brilliant eye for this and you are very consistent. "
Omanisa Ross
Author (I edited/proofread her book) “I used her services to edit a book I am in the process of publishing. Well, her sense of professionalism, response time and quality of work were amazing! Not only will I use her for all future editing, but would highly recommend her to others in need of “wordsmithing”!”
Anthony Solimini
Author/trainer/speaker
"Kay has a unique and valuable ability to capture the essence of what I say about how Orla helps people to be more organised, effective and productive. The result is powerful copy that makes sense to our prospective clients and, more importantly, inspires them to buy. She has a thorough knowledge of marketing concepts, and that shows through in every question she asks, every word she writes and every strategy she suggests. I'm also impressed that she insists on getting inside the brief and understanding our product, our brand and our clients before she puts pen to paper."
Stephen Barnes
Director, Orla

I write and edit English-language marketing communications content for clients in a wide range of industries. A dash of storytelling makes the text compelling, shareworthy and effective from a marketing and customer-service point of view. I am not a robot. I also teach corporate workshops about Business Storytelling.
The bottom line: You'll attract and retain more of the right kind of clients (and staff, allies, funders...), build stronger relationships with them, spot opportunities, and sell more of your products and services, so that you make a bigger, positive difference in the world! (I'm definitely not advocating mindless, irresponsible consumerism.)

Calling on my training and experience as an actor, a stand-up comedian, an improv performer, a trainer, a public speaker and a storyteller, I am an Applied Improvisation facilitator. That means I lead practical workshops for companies, universities and community organisations, using co-operative improv activities to build people's skills in teamwork, leadership, communication, creativity, emotional intelligence, and agile responsiveness to change, risk and failure. Because like improv, life and work don't come with a script.
