About

Alan Brandon

I am a technical and marketing communications pro with more than 20 years of experience as a contributor, leader, and manager. I specialize in developing content for the telecommunications and networking industries. I also have experience writing for consumer technology, financial services, and self-improvement/fitness audiences.

As a content strategist and content developer, I know what it takes to unite the message and the medium. I take a holistic, tools-savvy approach to delivering information in the most efficient, targeted way possible.
