"I've had the pleasure of working with Jory on a number of editorial projects and he knows exactly what it takes to create that's not only engaging and entertaining but delivers results too. As an editor, Jory is one of the best. He routinely takes good articles and makes them great. Jory always has the reader's needs in mind and makes copy better every time he touches it. Jory's editing skills will help make your content shine. He knows exactly when to push you a little harder and can articulate exactly how you can take your content to next level."

“After working with Jory for several years now, I can confidently say he’s the only writer, editor and content marketer that I’d recommend to any and every company that wants to generate a reliable return on their content investment within a short period of time. As someone who’s been in this space for a decade myself, I know it’s incredibly rare to find a content marketer with the kind of immense talent &#38;amp; deep well of experience that Jory pulls from in both the content creation and promotion sides of the business.”

Ryan Robinson, Content marketer for LinkedIn, Zendesk, CreativeLive, and more&#38;nbsp;


“I absolutely love working with Jory. Our collaboration is one (of the very few) where I am the one sometimes lagging while he makes sure things keep on progressing. I’ve seen my fair share of situations where it was the other way around! On that note: Could you please increase your prices?”

Jan Schulz-Hofen, CEO


"Jory is one of the only people I know who can strike the perfect balance between producing truly great writing and ranking for high-value keywords. He's the first person I turn to whenever we have an important content project. The only thing I can fault him for is that he wouldn't let us hire him full-time!"
