Strategic Planning Director
Super Power: Enhanced Chaos Coordination

Sizzlin’ Fun Fact
Amanda has lost count of how many times she’s been asked to “clone” herself. Maybe that’s why she has a twin sister!

Leanne King

Digital Marketing Strategist & AI Content Specialist
Super Power: Transmutation: Turning Cool Ideas into Even Cooler Content

Sizzlin’ Fun Fact

Leanne is an actress as well as a writer, and one of her most cherished performances was getting an opportunity to play Captain Hook in a production of Peter Pan. Thanks to her theatrical training, she also does accents and can cry on cue (but would prefer not to, thanks). She’s also a D&D nerd to her core.

Bio

Let’s get this out of the way; Leanne is not a fan of writing about herself. She much prefers writing about others! With a background in theater and dialogue writing, Leanne has a special talent for capturing an audience’s attention while being hyper-aware of a brand’s voice. Good copy is, to her, a complex potion made of dialogue, poetry, visual art, psychology, and computer science. Luckily, these are some of her favorite subjects!

In addition to her love of storytelling, Leanne adores problem-solving. It is that problem-solving drive that makes her copy functional as well as entertaining. Whether it’s writing copy for your website, social media pages, a blog post, an email campaign, or a neat little lead magnet, Leanne excels at creating valuable content that draws eyeballs.

Every brand is a character with a unique personality: my job is to capture that personality, communicate its message and make people want more! Knowing that something I’ve written is helping a client while providing value to the readers is definitely the most satisfying part of my day!”

Stefanie Cosman, AI-Driven Digital Marketing and UX Content Strategist & Project Manager

Stefanie Cosman

AI-Driven Digital Marketing and UX Content Strategist, Project Manager
Super Power: Fluent in Google Analytics

Sizzlin’ Fun Fact

Stefanie’s background includes theme park design. She loved the “Blue Sky” process where artists, writers, and tech geniuses all worked together to make sure that no disasters of a “Jurassic Park” level occurred. Because nobody likes when the dinosaurs eat the tourists.

Bio

Stefanie is happiest when science and art blend, and she especially loves it when that kind of magic happens in marketing. She loves nothing more than when a beautifully written sentence not only makes a reader swoon, but makes Google’s algorithm soar. As a Content Marketer at SizzleForce, her heart’s desire is to write copy that doesn’t just sound pretty, it also gets ranked.

Her background is in public relations and project management, primarily in the entertainment industry. Because of her love of storytelling, Stefanie hates nothing more than boring copywriting. Need to make the most mundane topic sound interesting? She loves a challenge.

“Every brand has a unique story to share. It’s in the telling that the magic happens.”
