Who is Blake Biswell
With a strong foundation in journalism and a passion for storytelling, I have been able to expand my knowledge and skills in impactful writing. While completing a degree in journalism, I honed my writing skills by crafting compelling narratives, conducting in-depth research, and connecting with diverse audiences. Throughout my undergraduate, I completed two minors in marketing and advertising. My interest in the evolving digital landscape has led me to explore the exciting world of digital marketing.
Today, I'm channeling my writing expertise into digital marketing, where I blend creativity with strategy to drive results. I've been diving deep into the world of SEO, learning how to optimize and create organic content to rank higher on search engines and reach the right audience. I’m also enthusiastic about social media marketing, understanding its potential to build brand identity and engage with audiences on a personal level.
By combining my journalism background with new digital skills, I aim to create content that not only resonates with readers but also enhances visibility and engagement online. Whether it's through website optimization, content creation, or social media strategy, my goal is to help brands tell their stories in the most impactful way.
Located in Phoenix, AZ. Journalism major with minors in marketing and advertising at Missouri State University. I’ve had experience as an editorial intern at the Springfield Business Journal, as a reporter at The Standard, and as a beat writer at Sports Mockery.
