About
Christopher Thomas is a copywriter based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He writes copy of all kinds for companies of all sizes. Press releases for proprietors, web copy for corporations, brochures for boutiques. Some companies are award winners, others are just finding their legs. Regardless of size, Christopher creates innovative, original copy with personality and a focus on clear communication.
Challenge is Christopher's middle name. Actually, his middle name is Lee, but he loves a challenge nonetheless. Need a press release by tomorrow morning? No problem. Need help marketing your old hair salon as a new doggie day spa? He'd love to. Whatever your situation, Christopher will help you find the perfect solution.
A graduate of Purdue University, Christopher holds degrees in English as well as Computer Graphics Technology. Having worked in web design and development for several years, Christopher is intimately familiar with writing for the web. Blogs, small business sites, product catalogs, e-mail marketing, media reviews — he knows how a web audience reads and thinks.
Christopher is a small business owner with experience building a company and a brand from the ground up. Comfortable and experienced with writing online and in the real world, he has written copy for print ads, online advertising, signage, press releases, and more. In 2007, his writing, marketing, and presentation skills helped his team earn the top prize in the Burton D. Morgan Business Plan Competition.
When he's not writing copy, Christopher enjoys other creative endeavors including writing and playing music — his weapon of choice is the drums — writing poetry, and designing things. He also enjoys cavorting around the country with his wife and teaching his old dog new tricks. (His dog's name is Michael Doglas.)
