My clients say it best
“I've had the pleasure of working with Nancy Harper for the past six years. She is a talented copywriter who understands fundraising and direct marketing, which is not an easy combination. What I love most about Nancy is her versatility. Blakely has a quite a wide range of NGO clients and Nancy manages to “get it” regardless of the category. She is a professional who knows what it takes to write good copy, always goes the extra mile to deliver it, and does it all with positivity and grace.”

Nancy is a resourceful extended-team member who facilitates the delivery of consistent creative communication experiences for our clients. As a virtual team, collaborating effectively with each other day-to-day is an art, especially when deliverables are time sensitive. Whether writing corporate pieces for executives or nuanced technical sales pieces, Nancy creates exceptional communications. I also value when Nancy shares her research as part of the creation process — because for me, the process of learning and upgrading one another is as important as completing the deliverables or task.
