Copy Writing And Content
“I have worked closely with Leslie for the past three years developing articles, books and scripts for our financial education company and she has consistently delivered above and beyond my expectations. She's a valuable member of our core team." ~ Mike Lathigee, Author/Investor, Freedom Investment Club/Alliance Investor Services Sample: Economic Report for AIS "Working with Leslie vanWinkle has been such a delight. She is a professional creative writer and editor. From weekly editorials and marketing copy to book editing, her execution and timely delivery has always been admirable.” ~ Ivan Martinez, iGroup Media Communications "We hired Leslie to create an advertorial for the monthly Costco Connection magazine to position our Retail Inkjet Solutions (RIS) in-store inkjet cartridge refilling service, the InkCenter, with consumers as an economical and sustainable way to extend the life of printer cartridges. We discussed our objectives and she quickly developed some excellent comps that we could review and discuss. This was a fast lead-time project and she was very excited about the challenge and came through with a great article. We saw a noticeable up-tick in our business during the first month. We found Leslie professional, responsive, easy to work with and would hire her again." ~ Mike Stanicek, Marketing Director, Retail Inkjet Solutions Sample: Advertorial for Costco Connections: Retail Inkjet Solutions (RIS) |
Websites And Email Marketing
“Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. I couldn’t have filled those seats without your help on the email campaign. And thanks for cleaning up the Infusionsoft tags. Now I actually know who I’m talking to and can market accordingly. Good work on the website, too....the shopping cart is working now.” ~ Mike Kaminski, Real Estate Atty/Mortgage Broker, Funders Choice “I brought Leslie on to write website copy and help market my new business. She jumped right in, found a web designer for me and worked with him to design and ensure the site’s functionality. Leslie turned us into a team. Her copy is spot on and the site is looking great! I’m looking forward to working with her on our social media and promotional campaigns.” ~ Paul Durrand, Business Consultant, Own Your Own Practice |

Video Scripting and Production
“Our video was the linchpin in our capital fundraising campaign. It had to show where the church had been and where it intended to go. The production team was incredible… Leslie caught our vision perfectly, writing the script and then coordinating and directing dozens of interviews to create a living document of our church’s place in the community.”
~ Rev. Dr. Kathianne Lewis, Minister, Center for Spiritual Living
“As a church fundraising campaign manager for 20 years I’ve seen a lot of fundraising videos and this was definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen. Really excellent work… comparable to any number of high quality corporate videos.”
~ Jerry Bradegan, Campaign Strategist, Fundraising for Churches
“Leslie is the consummate film director. We worked together on a short film [Fast Lane] with a small crew. During 18-hr long work days (whether in the green room, on site, while editing, etc) she maintained her calm, dealing with every team member with the utmost of respect, good humor, and detailed, thoughtful requests to further efforts without dissension or confusion. Her writing was innovative and fun to work with and her knowledge of group dynamics was of great assistance in the project. I would gladly work with her again and consider her creativity, thoroughness and kindness to be great assets.”
~ Kelly S. Reed, Member of Keiretsu Forum
"I worked with Leslie on several video projects. She has a strong structure for planning, implementing and finishing projects as planned. She is also flexible enough so that if a change is needed she will be open to that. She is a good leader and team member as well. ”
