Alyssa Towns (Swantkoski)

I'm a freelance content writer and internal communications consultant/contractor for brands building better workplaces, based in Denver, Colorado. Formerly an in-house Senior Communications Manager, I pair lived experience in the workforce with subject-matter expertise to create content that humans actually want to read. I work on projects related to internal communications, change management, employee engagement, productivity, career development, and the ever-evolving workforce.

I offer a mix of writing and communications services, including long-form content writing (blog posts, news stories, case studies, white papers, guides, etc.), contract internal communications support (project-based, retainers, and hourly), 1:1 power hours for internal communicators, creative communications project support, and more. Plus, speaking engagements and small events primarily for communicators.

If you're looking for professional freelance writing services or contract internal comms support (and a trustworthy partner), you're in the right place! I specialize in crafting compelling, high-quality, human-centric content, including: 

• Blog posts (SEO or non-SEO content) and thought leadership
• Guides (lead magnets, resource hub downloads, etc.) and eBooks 
• Long-form data analysis and reports
• Fractional internal comms support (ongoing content creation and development, tactical support for small teams) and contract internal comms (for smaller projects or time-bound engagements)

In addition to writing, I offer communications support and partnership on a limited basis, including:

• Workshops, events, and training sessions (or, in my dream world, on a college campus!)
• Custom projects that are a good fit for my expertise and skills (internal communications-related or otherwise)
• 1:1 power hour support for internal communicators who need someone to brainstorm, plan, or problem-solve with
• Content collaborations and brand partnerships

Need help with a project that isn't about one of the topics listed above? I'd still love to hear from you, especially if you're: 

• A Denver-based company doing great work for our community 
• Needing help with a project related to:
  • Books (nonfiction, self-help, romance, and more)
  • Inspiring creativity
  • Stationery, snail mail, and other paper products
  • Colorado (and especially the outdoors)
  • Mental health 
  • Psychology, especially trauma psychology (my specialization for my undergraduate psychology degree)
    

Are we a match?

We’re likely a great fit if:

• You’re looking for a long-term partner who can consistently support your content development (I love working with my clients on a long-term basis!)
• You need contract internal comms support and want someone with deep internal comms knowledge, who is also tactical
• For long-form content needs, you will provide content briefs to guide the process for thought leadership content (blog posts, guides, eBooks, etc.)
• You’re ready to hand over your content needs to a highly motivated, independent writer and creator, freeing you up to focus on other priorities (and someone you’ll want to work with again and again)

If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to help you bring your ideas to life!
