Hi. I’m Donovan.
The medium may have changed, but content still drives the world. From business to entertainment to sports to advice, words are the currency of knowledge. I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades writing for global audiences about education, healthcare, construction and engineering, and tech. The common thread through all of those years has been matching message, medium, and audience.
Take a look at some of my work below. Drop me a line if you’d like to see more or chat about how we can work together!
Internal Communications
Internal communications aren’t always sexy, but they keep organizations humming. Without the right tools, support, and guidance, a group of great individuals is no more successful than an orchestra without a conductor. A good internal communications team is that conductor, helping each employee reach their own potential while creating a unified culture of excellence to lift the entire company.

Content Marketing
As a writer, I have worked with a wide variety of clients to meet their content marketing needs. My largest client was the Project Management Institute, a global professional association. As well as acting as content director and editor, I regularly wrote feature-length articles for PM Network, PMI’s monthly magazine with a readership of more than 400,000. These thought-leadership articles covered business strategy, human resources, project profiles, and other relevant topics.

My content work at institutions has run the full gamut, from 200+ page exhibition catalogs to brochures to annual reports, and everything in between.
