About Derek Hambrick

A self-motivated writer, I create original, engaging communication and distill the memorable from the mundane. My comprehensive creative and strategic experience includes developing thousands of messages for diverse audiences of Web and print, all while aligning with client branding, style, and voice (and often helping them develop their own).Moving from short, crisp quips to extensive, strategic content is on my docket daily. Tagline to tome and most everything in between, I engage readers, prompt action, and influence perspectives. Tremendous creativity, tempered by rigor, makes me a reliable and entertaining professional.Add wit to taste.

Experience

1. Founder & Principal

   Cantilever Creative

   Nov 2018 — Present

   I’ve always sought to craft content at the intersection of creativity and credibility. And clients big and small, both buttoned-up and bodacious, have sought me out because of it.They appreciate the efficacy of messaging that’s both professional and personal – that informs as it engages customers and prospects, stakeholders and employees. Because they see results. But this isn\'t about me. Or them.(Or even about Cantilever Creative, the company I birthed after being in labor for over a decade.)This is about meeting YOUR goals. ​Overcoming YOUR challenges. Getting stuff done and done well.All with words. All while having a blast.If you’re ready, I’m Derek D. Hambrick. Pleased to meet you, too.
