Building Brands One Word at a Time
Dana Severson here, Minneapolis-based freelance copywriter and content marketer. My job is to build and strengthen brands by creating authentic, compelling content that connects with target audiences. Pretty straightforward, right? How I do it is also pretty straightforward. It’s all about helping businesses find their voice, tell their story, and put it on the page—all in an effort to build awareness and connect with more of the right customers.
Long story short, marketing copy is my trade.
SERVICES
Making Every Word Count
Website content, landing pages, marketing emails, white papers, case studies, SEO, and more. My services might run the gamut, but I always deliver quality, reseach-based content that informs, persuades, and helps position your business as the most obvious choice among consumers. I’m experienced, a quick study, and work under the philosophy of “tell, don’t sell.” Above all else, I make every word count. What you say and how you say it will inevitably help build your authority, authenticity, and credibility in the market.

MY PROMISE
I’ll only work with you if I feel like I’m the best person for the job. I’ve been in the business long enough to know that not every copywriter is a good fit for every project. I never compromise quality for time and try to provide realistic schedules. Rush fees aren’t a thing with me, nor is nickel-and-diming. I keep it honest, so projects are only paid in full when completed.
