His career has taken him across South America, from The Santiago Times in Chile to Bloomberg News in Caracas, Venezuela, where, at age thirty-three, he now serves as bureau chief. Regardless of whether you report the news for a digital media outlet or create advertisements for an agency, you will face the task of writing a news or persuasive piece for your employer or client.

Using strategy to tackle writing enables you to work more effectively and efficiently.
