What they’re saying
“Ash Holland is a rock star. Full stop. End of sentence. Not only can Ash tackle a wide range of niche industry topics like an expert, but she approaches content with a finely tuned strategic mind that keeps up with the latest changes in the industry. She has worked as a freelance copy editor and writer for our team for several years, but she functions like someone who's worked here since day one — an invaluable asset in the world of content marketing. Hiring Ash is hiring someone who will push you to think bigger and better, and it will make your life easier.”
— Dom Scarlett, Director of Content Marketing, Salsify
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ash since 2022 as a freelance editor. But working with Ash never feels like I’m managing a freelancer—it feels like having a fractional content strategist on my team. That shows up in two ways: in the way it feels to work with Ash—she’s truly a collaborator who’s in the trenches with me!—and in what she’s able to accomplish, which is much more strategic, holistic, and forward-thinking than your average editorial freelancer. She’s become an extension of our Communications team, delivering exceptional content and helping us think more clearly, strategically, and creatively about how we communicate to advance our goals and our mission.
Ash brings a rare mix of editorial precision, creative energy, and strategic insight to the teams that she works with. She has a wealth of experience and is an incredibly talented writer and editor, but what’s so special about Ash is her strategic acumen—she adeptly cuts through the jargon to help elevate the most important pieces of our content and frame them in a way that supports our overall goals. Her ability to understand dense, highly-technical content and help translate it so that it resonates with our audiences is unmatched. She’s become a trusted thought-partner across the organization; I’ll often get Slack messages that just say “can Ash fix this for me?”—and the answer is always yes! When we run into internal limitations, Ash strikes the perfect balance: working within our constraints while still helping to push our thinking and the quality of our deliverables.
Ash is creative, communicative, and honestly, just really fun to work with! She loves what she does, and that’s good, because she’s really, really great at it. She’s increased the quantity and quality of our content, increased our KPIs, and increased our internal capacity through guides and training sessions that have helped our internal teams become better at strategic communication. She’s the best investment we’ve made. We’re so much better for having her in our corner, and I truly can't recommend her enough.”
— Sarah Waldman, Associate Director of Communications, Education Resource Strategies
“Ash is a consummate professional through and through. No matter the project, I can always trust that Ash will set realistic expectations and timelines, ask the right questions, and deliver something above and beyond. Whenever I have a freelance budget, Ash is the first person I add to my list of must-work-with collaborators.”
— Shannon Curley, Director of Marketing and Growth, Tactical Logistic Solutions, former Director of Marketing, Carbon6
“I've worked with Ash since 2018 and am so thankful that our paths have crossed. Beyond being easygoing to work with and a fantastic person in general, her editorial work is supreme. She picks things up quickly, she's 100% reliable, and always willing to adapt if need be. Whether it's brand-forward copywriting that requires content thinking and UX elements, or heads down CMS content entry, I know I can rely on her. As a freelancer, she has become an extended part of our team who we all know and love to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.”
— Joe Pinciaro, Director of Content, iFactory
