Contestant's Case to Win

After carving her niche as a freelance writer and author in 2007, Susan Gunelius found both her success and her client list growing. In 2008, she opened her own marketing communications company, KeySplash Creative, Inc. (www.KeySplashCreative.com).

With nearly 20-years of marketing, branding and copywriting experience, Susan Gunelius is a seasoned corporate professional having spent more than a decade developing and executing marketing programs for global and national organizations, including divisions of AT&T and HSBC.

Susan’s corporate roles provided her with a solid background in various forms of writing. In fact, some of the largest companies in the world have trusted her to write compelling advertising, marketing and business communications.

In addition to owning KeySplash Creative, Susan is also a published author. As a marketing, branding and copywriting expert, Susan writes business nonfiction books through some of the largest and most recognized publishers in the world including Palgrave Macmillan (a division of Macmillan Publishing), Wiley and Entrepreneur Press.

Susan's clients depend on her to create marketing communications and provide branding consultation services that drive results and boost profits. KeySplash Creative's client list is made up of small and large businesses from around the world and includes well-known brands such as Citibank, Cox Communications, Newstex and more.

In her spare time, Susan is an active blogger and maintains her company blog, KeySplash Creative Conversations, about marketing, advertising and branding (www.KeySplashCreativeConversations.com) and a blog, Women On Business, dedicated to providing business women thought leaders with an online voice and place to share ideas and successes (www.WomenOnBusiness.com). She also writes marketing-related articles that are published on a wide variety of websites, including Entrepreneur.com, MSNBC.com, WashingtonPost.com, FoxBusiness.com, SmartMoney.com, and more.

When she's not working, Susan spends her time chasing her busy 4-year old triplets and trying to balance work and family.
