Here are samples of some of my latest jobs.

GSW Annual Report
To write the theme copy for the GSW annual report, I interviewed the presidents of GSW’s three companies, as well the overall corporate president. Since the Canadian-owned manufacturer of water heaters and building products posted a great year, the overall theme of the report is “Delivering the Promise.” Click here for the theme text.
Imperial Smelting & Refining
Imperial Smelting & Refining is Canada’s only privately owned precious-metal manufacturer and refiner. To celebrate its 90th anniversary, it took out a series of ads in Canadian Jeweller magazine and, in one issue, ran this facing page of advertorial. In the profile celebrating the company’s history, I identify Imperial’s deep family roots as the source of its continuing success. Click here for the article.
Magazines Canada Hero Project
The Manufacturing and Technology Committee of Magazines Canada wanted to find a way to relieve some of the production nightmares plaguing prepress departments and printers. So I wrote this lavish 80-page booklet, called Look Like a Hero, giving art directors the information they need to negotiate the ever-changing print production process. By successfully translating what they create on computer into print, the art directors can become a hero to their bosses or clients. Click here for the text from two pages of the booklet.
The Randolph Group Newsletter
I edited the newsletter on behalf of The Randolph Group, Toronto-based consultants to public and not-for-profit organizations on issues of strategy, organization and business planning. In The Randolph Report, the company principals share their expertise with clients and potential clients and they also highlight recent work. Click here to see the newsletter cover.
