About John Wheeler-Rappe

I am a senior copywriter, PR communications/content writer, content strategist, and managing editor with over 15 years of experience in creating engaging and effective web content, copy, social media, and PR writing for various brands and agencies. I have a double MFA in Film from Columbia University and Creative Writing from the Iowa Writers\' Workshop, which gives me a unique perspective and skillset in crafting compelling stories across different media and platforms. I have worked with some of the most well-recognized brands and agencies in the world, delivering award-winning thought leadership pieces and branded content, high-performing email marketing campaigns, detail-obsessed UX copy, internal communications, and brand voice and tone analysis that ensures you have a distinctive voice from your competitors. Some of my clients include Audible, Verizon, Harman Kardon, Disney, Corporate Visions, JBL, Interpublic Group, IPG Mediabrands, Ketchum, Mercedes-Benz, and Forbes, as well as B2B tech startups and nonprofits such as AppNexus (Xandr), Qohash, BitPay, and Rainforest Connection. I am deeply passionate about finding the best way to communicate the value and vision of each brand and project, and I am always ready for a new challenge and opportunity.
