HELLO, I'M
VERONICA ALLEN.
HEY!
HOW'S IT GOING?
I'm a writer, editor, thought partner, and storyteller.
Supported by my background in professional writing, interdisciplinary research, and proposal management, I specialize in project management, strategic brand development, and audience-driven creative communications.
As a marketing leader, I bring nearly a decade of experience with architecture, engineering, and construction pursuits, proposal and interview strategy development, brand messaging, internal communications, and cross-functional marketing initiatives. At heart, I am a storyteller who loves finding new ways to bring out the best in the experts I work with. I bring a depth of experience ranging from launching new integrated markets and service-types to managing, interpreting, and reporting on pursuits data to support executive financial forecasting and strategy.
