Colleen Wainwright by Josh Ross Creative
Colleen Wainwright is a writer-speaker-layabout who started calling herself “the communicatrix” when she hit three hyphens.

She spent 10 years as an award-winning TV copywriter crafting ads for brands like Wheaties®, Gatorade® and Jell-O®, and another 10 acting in them for cash money. Since deciding she’d blow her brains out if she had to sit through one more meeting about which way the bears danced around the cereal box, she spends most of her time teaching other creative souls how to talk about what they do in a way that wins them attention, work and satisfaction and the rest of it horsing around on the Internet.

In the late summer of 2011, Colleen used herself as a guinea pig for her own theories on social media and attention, raising over $50,000 in 50 days for WriteGirl, a local Los Angeles nonprofit benefitting high school girls. She had a blast doing it, and looks forward to doubling down in 2061.
