Writing remains the backbone of any communications effort. Whether for a social media post, news release, blog entry or ad copy, word choice and clarity matter.

With a background including 17 years in communications and team operations for NHL teams, Kyle Hanlin has written news releases, feature stories and radio/TV copy, proofread fundraising materials and print/web ad copy and produced publications from 300-page media guides to small brochures and other marketing materials.
