Coffee Lodge Media LLC is the small creative agency you get when a copywriter with 30+ years of experience steps away from a full-time corporate environment and starts to plug into other passions, namely additional forms of writing and editing, plus audio production.
I’m Wayne, I’m that copywriter, and that’s exactly what happened.
While in the market for a full-time job following a department reorganization, I began exploring the idea of creating podcasts. I loved radio while growing up, and podcasting puts many of those same elements within my control. Whether it’s conducting interviews, or it’s helping develop storylines and turning them into recorded programs, and then producing finished podcasts, I want to be involved.
Then a book editing opportunity was presented to me when a friend was readying his second novel for publication. I did what I’ve since learned was a line edit, using my detail-oriented mindset to go through more than 61,000 words and offer edits and suggestions related to spelling, punctuation, word choice, dialog, fact-checking, and story clarity — all the nitpicky things I tend to do anyway. I enjoyed that very much.
And, of course, I’ll always be a writer. I’ve worked in both agency and in-house settings and have experience in developing copy for consumer products, video and audio scripts, social media posts, email and direct mail campaigns, collateral pieces, print and digital ads, point-of-purchase signage, packaging, etc. I enjoy helping to create solutions when it comes to letting people know what they should know.
Is there something I can do for you? Let’s talk.
