Establishing brand expertise with informative content ✨

Contra's Bootcamp program. Pretty cool stuff!

About the project 🗯

In November 2021, Contra approached me to be a content writer for their Contra Bootcamp program, which is designed to teach new "independents" the basics of establishing a freelance business. To help them along the way, I wrote an informative blog post detailing instructions to follow when building their first portfolio.

Our collaborative process 🤝

I worked with three Contra team members throughout the project, including one of their staff copywriters, to ensure the content aligned with the company's brand voice (notice the emojis❓) and mission. Of course, I also performed substantial research on the topic, acquiring multiple references and sources to support the information presented.

The article is now live on Contra's Bootcamp page. Doesn't it look amazing? 💛

Despite a tight deadline, I was able to deliver a polished, engaging piece before the team's desired due date. Next, we performed two rounds of minor revisions to perfect the copy before publishing the final version you can read today.

The outcome 📊

Kevin was a joy to work with on this project! He brought my content vision to life and was super receptive to any revision requests. His work aligned with our brand voice, and conveyed the information effectively. Would definitely work with him again! – Madi Pignetti, Community Lead @ Contra

This article was a crucial component of the platform's latest strategy to engage its growing user base, which currently spans 139 countries. The Contra team was delighted with the work I produced for them and promised to reach out again once they have another opportunity available.
