John Wheeler Rappe

I am an award-winning freelance senior copywriter, PR communications/content writer, and brand strategist with over 15 years of experience in creating engaging and effective web content, copy, social media, and PR writing for various brands and agencies. I have a double MFA in Film from Columbia University and Creative Writing from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, which gives me a unique perspective and skillset in crafting compelling stories across different media and platforms.

I have worked with some of the most well-recognized brands and agencies in the world, delivering award-winning thought leadership pieces and branded content, high-performing email marketing campaigns, detail-obsessed UX copy, internal communications, and brand voice and tone analysis that ensures you have a distinctive voice from your competitors. Some of my clients include Audible, Verizon, Harman Kardon, Disney, Corporate Visions, JBL, Interpublic Group, IPG Mediabrands, Ketchum, Mercedes-Benz, and Forbes, as well as B2B tech startups and nonprofits such as AppNexus (Xandr), Qohash, BitPay, and Rainforest Connection. I am deeply passionate about finding the best way to communicate the value and vision of each brand and project, and I am always ready for a new challenge and opportunity.
