Bill Beard

Bill Beard doesn't like writing about Bill Beard in the third person. A man who has spent sixteen years pounding a keyboard as a professional copywriter would never willingly use the third person, unless he's writing copy for Tracy Morgan, Bob Dole, or Rickey Henderson. Lucky for him, Bill Beard hasn't worked for those crazies.

Instead, Bill Beard founded Beard Branding, a customer communications organization. Beard Branding helps companies more efficiently and effectively communicate with their customers at every touchpoint of the customer experience. We help with Brand Development, Copywriting, User Experience, Content Strategy, and really, any way you'd give a verbal high-five to your customers.

With Beard Branding and in his previous career as a creative director and copywriter, Bill has helped build huge brands for organizations like UCLA, JPMorganChase, Fidelity Investments, Delta Air Lines, and Duracell. He also loves startups, and has helped out the likes of .CO, TheLadders, Upromise, Draftpot, Wherewithal, Ribbon.me, and a few others.

Bill is also an international speaker. He's waved his arms at audiences while talking about branding and other topics at numerous conferences in the States, Scotland, Germany, Puerto Rico, and other places.

Bill Beard has led numerous teams in every facet of marketing, branding, social media strategy, user experience, and product development. He is quite possibly the founding father of Lean UX Copywriting and has helped more than a few others become experts on the subject.

PS. For what it's worth, Bill Beard is the guy from New York, not the guy who owns a Costa Rican adventure company and is freakishly good at SEO.
