ANNOUNCING: SpeakWell Communications

by brianlburns on 18 January 2010

in announcements, other

For over a year now, this blog has served as the main portal for my writing services. I’ve operated as a sole proprietor, building my brand around my personal name. It’s been a good system, and I’ve enjoyed running the blog, but I’m also pleased to announce the launch of www.speakwellcommunications.com.

SpeakWell Communications, my new company, is a way to expand slightly on my writing offerings — serving clients not only with words, but also the ideas that generate them — and to support the services within a more professional structure. If you’re interested to see what it looks like, or you think we may be able to help your company, I urge you to check out the site.

Creating a corporate website to handle the professional side of things, it also frees me up to use this blog as more of a personal one. You can expect additional writing related posts, sure, but also more of my thoughts on communication, business, and whatever else crosses my desk (or mind).

As always, don’t hesitate to contact me, and don’t hesitate to leave any questions or comments on this post. It’d be fun to connect.

Thanks for a Great 2009

by brianlburns on 1 January 2010

in giving thanks, new years

I’m not usually one for sappy holiday greetings.

I don’t send out Christmas cards, I barely celebrate Christmas day at all, and it’s rare I actually make it to midnight on any given New Years Eve.

But today, on January 1st of 2010, I feel compelled to send out thanks to everyone who reads this blog, everyone who supports my freelance business, and most of all, every one of my clients. It means a lot to me to hang my shingle, and make a living doing what I like to do, all on my own. You all are what makes it possible.

It’s been a very good 2009, and I’m excited for a great 2010 as well. This year will see me move away from a strict freelance model, and into a larger, but still self-owned corporate structure (much more on that in a few days), and will see me continue to try and serve the great folks I work with, with kickin’ copy.

So, as always, thanks for reading, and employing, for all of 2009. It means a lot. Now stay tuned for all that 2010 has to offer.
