A Pretty/Good Way to Learn More About Me

Hey there, and thanks for stopping by. My name is Mark Whitney and I’m an award-winning copywriter, marketer, creative, and storyteller who loves converting the complex into easy-to-understand and relatable content that engages and makes an impact.

I believe that comprehension shouldn’t take a back seat to being clever — and have dedicated my professional life to balancing the two in every headline, paragraph, and page I’ve submitted.

Random Facts About Me:

  • At one point, I was one of three certified professional baristas by the SCAA/BGA in Louisiana.

  • I once met Arnold Schwarzenegger at a sushi joint in New Orleans and his bouncers kindly told me to “get the fuck outta here” when I asked if he would pose with me crossing chopsticks like swords.

  • I owned a slightly successful bagel booth at a farmer’s market in Lafayette, LA called 114 Bagel Co.

  • Growing up, I wanted to be a cartoon voice actor.

  • I completed two and a half years of a computer science degree before realizing I was absolutely terrible at math.

  • I have one published poem, which can be found in the St. Martinville Public Library. Good luck finding that, chumps.

  • My retirement plan is to open a sandwich-based food truck on a beach somewhere. Or a coffee shop in the mountains.
