Waiting List
I'm currently operating with a waiting time of 2 to 4 weeks between agreement to a project and starting the work. Contact me to discuss your needs today, so I can prioritize you as the next client on my list!

Hi, I'm David Raitt.
I create clear copy and engaging content for passionate businesses to tell your story, attract more customers, and grow your business.
🇨🇦 Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦
On this page you'll find information on my work process, qualifications, and how you can get started working with me.
Consider working with me if you…
- …have great products or services you believe in, but don’t have the time, skills, or resources to tell the world about them. With great Content Marketing, new clients will choose your business over the competition.
- …need content and strategy. A cheap copywriter like you’ll find on Fiverr can deliver a well-written piece, but that’s it. They won’t help you identify your business needs. I’ll help you relate your Content Marketing back to revenues and costs, so you’ll get bigger returns on your investment.
- …want to get better at marketing, not just sell more stuff. I’ll give you a clear road map for your Content Marketing strategy. You’ll be confident knowing what to do and when to do it.
Principled Performance
Any copywriter can call themselves “conscientious” and “detail-oriented”. But these are more than just marketing fluff — they’re the values I live by. PRINCIPLED PERFORMANCE is all about:
- TRUST: I avoid sales pressure and work to understand if I can help you first before proposing solutions.
- Tested, proven methods: By using solid marketing principles, I lower your risk, maximize your success, and can quickly respond to problems with a prepared strategy.
- Clear communication: You will always know the next steps and timelines. I work hard to eliminate surprises.
- Client education: I take time to explain my methods. You’ll be confident in the details, no matter your level of technical or marketing knowledge.
- Meticulous editing: I thoroughly check all copy for spelling, grammar, and factual errors. This saves you time and energy.
- Loyal service: I care about your success and value long-term relationships over short-term gain. More than a virtual employee, you’ll gain a true marketing partner.
PRINCIPLED PERFORMANCE is your assurance of quality service and collaboration.
Support for BIPOC & LGBTQ2S+ Business Owners

Service Fees
Marketing is an investment in your business. My goal is to deliver value for that investment. I search for quick wins that pay for my services as soon as possible.
Every project has unique needs and goals. Please schedule a free, no-obligation assessment so we can thoughtfully discuss how I might deliver maximum value within your budget. My pricing is open, honest, and respectful of the people I serve.
Every new client starts with a fixed fee project, so you can try out my services. After the first 90 days, we can explore a continuing retainer.
