Hi, I’m Brendan 👋

Freelance writer, SEO consultant, fractional content marketer

 

Who I’ve worked with (and for)

 

I’m like a member of your content team, without that pesky full-time salary.

 

Hi, I'm Brendan McConnell.

I'm a freelance writer, SEO consultant and fractional content marketer based in Ottawa.

I create content, strategies, and marketing frameworks that help companies (and people) like you grow traffic and leads from content.

I've been in the marketing and journalism game for about 10 years now. Wrote a lot of articles, created a lot of marketing plans, generated a lot of leads.

As of 2022, I’ve made the two-footed leap into full-time freelance and consulting work. Before that, I worked as senior writer, content marketing manager, SEO specialist, multimedia specialist, freelance journalist, and podcast producer for companies like Shopify, Corel, Docebo and Saba Software.

Lately, I've been working with people like you. Companies and individuals - big and small - looking for engaging copy for their blog. Or to grow their website traffic. Or to audit their existing website to make it more search friendly. I’m at my best when I can work directly alongside your team to understand your business needs, and craft a tailored content solution to help you win.

Some names I’ve worked with that you you might recognize include Telus, Hootsuite, Peer39, Camcloud and Durable.co.

We initially engaged Brendan for regular posting on our blog and he quickly showed that he could balance high quality and well-research writing with content designed for search. If you’re looking for someone to help boost your content in search (all while build and article base that actually reads well!), Brendan is your guy!

— Adrie Smith, Former Head of Content @ Recruitee

Brendan’s a great utility marketer who’d be able to slot easily into any team, in any industry, and hit the ground running. He has a great knowledge base in a number of complimentary areas that are supremely useful in digital: SEO/CDO strategy, content development, video production, and paid SEM. Bonus points: his copywriting is SHARP. You don’t run across many creative professionals with strong technical marketing skills who also have a knack for making words stand out in a rich media environments. This is one of them.

— Paul Austin-Menear, VP of Commerce Operations @ Nanoleaf

Brendan was an A-player on our marketing team. He continuously delivered work of extremely high standards, carried a very heavy volume of work, and showed up with a positive, collaborative attitude on the daily. His unique combination of strengths was of high value to our team and we simply could not have achieved our current levels of success without him.
