If you’re here, you’re likely aware of how important content is to your website.
Ongoing content that is both compelling to the reader and technically well-written for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes is a difference-maker for your business.
I’m Chris Hughes, a Florida-based copywriter, and I’ve been creating content for my entire career across all forms of media—websites, television, radio, and newspaper. I love starting with a blank page and creating something that meets your goals, whether it’s informing, entertaining, or just refining what you already wrote.
Together, we can make your website more effective through carefully written copy, blog posts, or ghost-written articles that you can post on your site or social media pages to establish you as a thought-leader in your field.

About me
Since I was 10 years old, I was all about broadcasting and journalism. I was fascinated by the broadcasters on sporting events, read as many newspapers as I could get my hands on, and watched local and national news not only for the information, but to get a sense of how it was constructed behind-the-scenes. That passion and curiosity led me to Syracuse University, home to one of the best communication programs in the country.
After graduating, I spent over 15 years in local television news and sports. As the digital portion of the industry emerged, I found myself learning how websites worked, how vital they are to a business, and how content is king. Not only did I write, write, write, I also copy-edited others’ work to make it shine and stand out.
In an effort to shorten my hour-long commute and work more family-friendly hours, I switched careers to digital marketing in 2018. COVID-19 then changed the work industry forever. While working from home, I thought of ways to be able to enjoy that flexibility full time. Following my passion for copywriting, I discovered a need for content across several industries. Working in the news business for so long allowed me to be able to research and write about virtually any subject accurately and quickly. Now, I’m available to work for you and help you reach your goals!
After growing up in New York, I have spent close to 20 years in Florida, working in both the Orlando and Tampa media markets. I currently live in Lakeland with my wife, two boys, and two dogs.
