I thought this was hilarious and informative when I first saw this documentary about the bizarre story of the Kensington Patty Palace in Toronto.

We can help you develop a brand strategy that serves your content marketing purposes.
Content Strategy
It really doesn’t matter how fabulous your website looks or how many social media tools you use. If you don’t have great content on your sites, most people will not only not care about your web presence, but they will also not care to learn more about you or your organization. Having high-quality content on your web presence is a top priority for establishing both your credibility and your brand. Global Wire Associates can write and edit persuasive copy, as well as provide suggestions on how to best use digital photos, graphics, and video for marketing your cause, service or product.

Do You Need To Hire A Ghostwriter?
Ghostwriting is a unique way to get your voice out there to your customers without actually using your voice, per se. With that being said, it is important to make sure you make the right hire. Here are some tips we have learned from our own ghostwriting projects over the years.
1. Type of work: It is a great idea to specify what type of ghostwriting you are looking to do. Most ghostwriters specialize in one or more types of writing. If you are looking for someone to write blog posts, e-newsletters, or social media, you need to hire a ghostwriter who specializes in online content writing, with an emphasis on search engine optimization (SEO). The same is true if you want to hire ghostwriters to work on books, reports, technical manuals, white papers, articles, and other written content.
2. The length of time: Make sure you and your hired ghostwriter understand and agree upon the length of time it will take to complete a project. If it is a finite project, make sure to set a deadline, requirements, and expectations in the contract.
3. Budget: Be upfront about what you can afford so you can find the best possible match in a ghostwriter that fits your budget.
4. Samples and References: Of course, you should read samples of the potential hire’s work and get references. Because of the confidential nature of the ghostwriting business, you might have to sign a non-disclosure agreement before seeing the samples or talk to references.
5. Voice, Style, and Tone: It is important to find a ghostwriter you have a good working relationship with, especially regarding the style and tone of the writing. When reviewing samples from potential hires, make sure their writing style and voice match yours.
We do a lot of ghostwriting over at Global Wire Associates. Please contact us at info@globalwireonline.org for more information.
What’s Cooking: Cuatro Leches Cakes
I love a really good tres leches cake! This is a popular dessert in Spanish-speaking that consists of a butter cake soaked in three kinds of milk. I first tasted this fabulous cake on my first trip to Madrid many years, and continue to eat it whenever I go to a Latin restaurant.
I’m just finding out NOW that there is such a thing as cuatro leches cake. I have been missing out on this slice of life!
