Hi! I’m Debbie.

I started this thing.

Maybe she's born with it ... Maybe it's ✦ ADHD ✦

Maybe she's born with it ... Maybe it's ✦ ADHD ✦

When someone asks "So, what do you do?" …

… I never launch into the meat of it.

"I write and edit. Oh, and branding."

The truth is, doing what I do for brands and entrepreneurs is soul-searching work for me that involves a pretty intense process.

Getting to know you. Your grit. Your grace. Your story. Your vision.

Marrying that to a strategy that strikes the right chord with the right audience while poising your brand to uniquely represent everything YOU bring to it. Urging it to take on a life of its own.

Accessing the words to accomplish this is a skill I've honed across thousands of projects for over 100 brands, from the world's most recognizable tech giants to a one-woman candle shop, and everything in between.

I’m also a keeper of bees, and I’ll let you in on a secret: I’ve learned more about great communication from those sweet buggers than I did from my journalism degree.

I have a way with words—and I'll find a way with yours.

Hey! Maybe that's what I'll say the next time someone asks what I do for a living.

Thank you for being here. We look forward to helping you use your words!

Sincerely,

Debbie Pelzmann

Everything produced at OMW is backed and guided by deep experience and created with copious amounts of coffee, thought, and intention to cover a lot of ground.

Okay, but what’s “a lot” of ground?

COPYWRITING

designed with a keen eye for UX and information architecture, smoothly optimized with your keywords and phrases.

PROFESSIONAL PROOFREADING + THOROUGH COPYEDITING

expertly analyzing and correcting for tone, grammar, flow, and perfect English syntax as much or as little as you want it to (‘cause the art of “perfect” writing differs with each audience and environment).

EPIC BRAND STORIES

that go SO beyond your “why.” We hook you up with custom-fit tactical strategies, done-for-you ethos and branding blurbs, and go-to messaging and copy. These are your words to use across your web pages, channels, pitch decks, content, and anywhere you see fit. They’re also pretty. Like, coffee table-ready pretty.

SALES CONVERSION COPY

that doesn’t give “the ick.”

We work in ↑↑ all of this ↑↑

… plus a certain je ne sais quoi that can be really hard to put into words.

We always get there.

Because when we do ↑↑ all of that ↑↑, your words carry extra “oomph” out in the wild world.

That “oomph” is the “meaning” in meaningfully targeting, engaging, and converting your audience—throughout the funnel and across channels.

It means everything when you choose to trust us with your words.

    “I believe everyone meets “That Person” in their career.... Someone who inspires you and makes you a better you professionally. Debbie is “That Person” to me. Her ability to toggle between writing content, managing projects, assisting in process development and managing a team of her own put me in a state of awe.“

    “Debbie established systems […] and processes for content production all while her team was quadrupling in size. While Debbie's work seems tactical in nature, she started with the end in mind. Her strategy captures key audiences and the buyer journey; ultimately a scaled content production that is intentional and results-focused.“

    “[…] a leader and critical asset to any tech company. Few possess her creative skill with words and communication. Her experience and intelligence make her someone you can rely on to create high-quality initiatives and lead them efficiently. Not to mention, she's a blast to be around!”

    — Justin G.

  • "A great B2B creative writer"

    ✷

    “Debbie is a great B2B creative writer. At Brandfolder we hired her as a freelance copywriter, and in a very short time she helped us focus in our messaging on our website and wrote many blog posts that helped us communicate our value proposition as a start-up tech company. She is professional and courteous, and always delivered on time.”
