Stacy Hannay

Experienced Content Strategist & Published Writer

San Francisco, CA

I am a marketing professional with over 10 years’ experience in journalism, marketing, editing, and copywriting. My philosophy is simple: creativity plus professionalism equals success. I listen…and then I write.

I’ve been very fortunate to have had not only the opportunity to build a career doing what I love best, but to have worked with some of the best writers in the industry. I consider myself a life-long learner, which is why I enjoy working in such a dynamic, fast-paced field. My experience has helped me serve a diverse audience, accept challenges, and lead projects from concept to completion with accuracy and confidence. During my career, I have implemented, directed, and completed many successful marketing campaigns for a broad range of industries and meticulously tracked and monitored their effectiveness.
