Amanda Brandon

I am a marketing professional with over six years of writing experience. I freelance in addition to working in marketing communications for an academic medical center.

Before moving into marketing and freelancing full-time, I worked in development and recruitment for nonprofits and education.

I got my start in marketing communications as the managing editor of a pizza industry trade publication PMQ Magazine and as media coordinator for the U.S. Pizza Team.

My writing specialties include writing technical articles and features for magazines, website copy, brochure copy, newspaper articles, press releases, resumes and sales copy. I also have a background in grassroots marketing for nonprofits.

I won an award for my press release writing in 2003 from the Public Relations Association of Mississippi (PRAM). I was the only student to win this award in the state.

I helped found the Oxford, Mississippi chapter of PRAM. I served as the director of communication for one year.
