About Deborah Kearns
As a content business owner and executive, I help clients craft clear, accurate, and engaging words and strategies that inspire action and get results. With 15+ years of experience in editorial and marketing content and communications, I have the storytelling chops to handle any project requiring an expert eye for copy. My services include writing SEO articles and explainers, long-form features, executive bios and brand marketing messages for social, digital and print outlets. Previously, I led enterprise-wide external and internal communications for Finance of America Companies (including Finance of America Mortgage). I built, scaled, and managed PR, social media, and content programs with minimal resources and a lot of ingenuity. I also have a strong background in real estate and mortgage journalism, having worked as a managing editor, editor, writer, and analyst for leading personal finance outlets consumers know and trust.
