Val Vick (aka Valeria Collier-Vick, P.E., PMP) is a sales and marketing copywriter and communications specialist. She helps small and medium-sized companies consistently use their brand voice throughout their content.

More than ever, in the absence of frequent face-to-face meetings, business owners need to make true connections with clients using their words.

This is where Val comes in. Her copywriting skills have been shaped by more than 30 years of sales, marketing, and business development - wearing both corporate officer and solopreneur hats. She’s a go-to resource for newsletters, websites, landing pages, emails, autoresponders, case studies, white papers, and user experience across each content type. Val’s clients frequently say, “This sounds just like me!”
