How hard can it be, writing advertising copy for sunny San Diego? Fair enough. That’s why I’m proud to have 32 years of experience writing ads, brochures, mailers, and other marketing materials for hotels, resorts, and destinations in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Utah, and (ahem) Seoul.
