Ready to help SAP help the world run better

You're looking for a copywriter who will be a relentless champion for the customer and the experiences they have.

I think that could be me. Let’s see if you agree.

Five Core Behaviors For Putting the Audience First

  • Cliff McCloe embraces differences

    Embrace differences

    Digital resilience powerhouse Splunk strives to be a place where its employees (known as Splunkers) can be themselves. If everybody can show up as they are and embrace everybody else’s differences, everybody wins and makes cool stuff, right?

    I was proud to help them rebuild an employee brand that put diversity and inclusion at the center of all they do.

  • Copywriter Cliff McCloe shares some of his big ideas

    Stay curious

    Just because a project is small doesn’t mean we should stop pushing the boundaries of what can be done. Legendary 60s ad-man Howard Luck Gossage used to say, “I don’t know how to talk to everybody, only to somebody.” I try to put that sentiment into everything I do.

    See how I collaborated with teams to squeeze big results from seemingly tiny projects.

  • Cliff McCloe tells it like it is

    Tell it like it is

    If there’s one things that audiences hatey-hate-hate, it’s being talked at. If you want to build “honest, authentic, professional, and constructive” relationships with people, you have to give it to them straight.

    I’ve strategized, conceived, written, creative-directed, and account-managed over 100 plain-language, jargon-free explanatory videos that turned complicated topics like AI, mRNA technology, and multi-access edge computing into human-centered stories.

  • Cliff McCloe keeps promises

    Keep promises

    For T-Mobile, building a cohesive and delightful customer journey is critical. T-Mobile promises that every marketing asset they create will tell the same story.

    I had the pleasure to help the telecommunication giant keep that promise on nearly every digital platform they had, including landing pages, videos, product launches, and even in-store experiences.

  • Cliff McCloe | Audience Bridge Builder

    Build bridges

    If performing in (literally) thousands of improv shows has taught me anything, it’s that there is no magic more powerful than collaboration. You trust me to make you look good, I do the same, and before you know it, we’ve created something new and wonderful. But that spirit isn’t just for the performers on stage; building bridges with the audience pays off, too.
