About

Welcome to my barbershop.

Chris Beard Head Shot 2022_edited.png

My name is Chris Beard, and I’ve been a professional copywriter, editor, and proofreader in the Greater Toronto & Hamilton Area for more than a decade. With senior agency and in-house experience, I can help you to establish, refine, or reinforce your brand’s voice to meet your business objectives. I’m as equally at home writing ads, social posts, and emails as I am executive messages, annual reports, and corporate newsletters. I have a jeweller’s eye (or, if you're in the U.S., jeweler’s eye) for clarity and detail, and I’ve developed a sterling reputation for spotting errors.

My background in marketing, branding, and communications has also provided me with a thorough understanding of print production and related processes. If desired, I can manage your communications project from start to finish, and advise on efficiencies along the way.

So take a seat, tell me what you’re looking for, and I’ll give you well-groomed copy—on time, on brand, and on budget.
