Erin McGann
Über Erin McGann:
I love working with people who get so excited about a new idea they knock their chair over to get to the whiteboard. I want to be that excited too.
As a content marketer, writer, and editor, I'm a storyteller by nature.
My past employers and clients include Future Shop/Best Buy, Paramount Home Entertainment, Martell Cognac, the National Business Awards (UK), VancouverMom.ca and TorontoMomNow.com (Crisp Media), non-governmental agency the Internet Society, Lingoda the online language school, GoStudent, and one of the world's largest arts centres, Southbank Centre (UK).
I’ve spent seven years living in London, United Kingdom, and I'm adept at writing for both North American and British audiences.
Currently, I am freelancing as a writer and editor in English based in Heidelberg, Germany, but actively looking for a permanent role.
