STEPHANIE M. RAINES, MBA

Based in Seattle, Washington, I am an MBA-educated writer looking for opportunities in content marketing and online branding. My specialties include email marketing and blogging, correspondence and presentations, technical expertise in business, and research and analytics. Bringing over five years of experience in writing, my work has been featured on major content channels in the form of articles, eBooks, blog posts, marketing materials and business plans. I have also received my Master in Business Administration from City University in Bellevue and my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Washington State University in Pullman, WA.

I enjoy helping companies drive growth through content writing and successful online branding. By working with my clients to develop a tailored and unique online marketing plan, I’ve helped them experience a growth in blog traffic and visits of over 360%. I accomplished this by focusing on ways they could enhance their brand image and increase their blog traffic using various key strategies. I also prioritized active listening to identify the needs of my clients so to best serve them and deliver a product that exceeds their expectations.

In 2011, I founded SMRGhostwriting.com, now SMRBusiness Services, LLC. I wrote for a multitude of clients from different backgrounds and experiences, mainly high-profile women solopreneurs. My success as a content writer is built on a foundation of repeat customers and referrals due to my ability to bring my client’s vision to life. My passion for writing and my attention-to-detail has helped me to publish over 38 articles on major content channels including eHow.com Business and Finance, AZ Central Small Business and Chron.com – Small Business.

I enjoy taking a complicated topic and making it easy for readers to understand. My ability to do this has helped me publish articles, eBooks, blog posts, reports, marketing materials, and business plans used by people all over the world. Working with each client, I prioritized organization and accuracy to deliver my orders on time and exceed expectations on my projects.

My background in business has helped me provide a special perspective on business and finance-related topics. Additionally, working in fast-paced environments has demonstrated my ability to provide excellent work even under pressure. In my past positions, I dealt extensively with customers both through the phone and in-person.
