Debbie Tullos

Brand ambassador, copywriter, marketer, two decades of insightful and intuitive audience targeting experience

I'm a writer with a keen marketing sensibility, proficient in different styles of writing to accomplish different purposes: heavily researched articles, creative writing, news writing for broadcast, tease writing for broadcast, print and social media, newsletters, print ads, collateral copy and press releases. All of these require different skill sets and precise understanding of target audiences, how they behave, and what spurs them to specific action. I've been expertly speaking in the WRAL brand voice for nearly 20 years.
