Just curious if you enjoy it/have any tips etc.? I'm considering a career switch and want more info. about how companies use writers (for marketing, press releases, internal documents etc.).

Heck yeah I enjoy it. I left a higher paying job with better benefits in the aerospace industry to have more fun in the bike biz. We're a small company so we wear many hats and don't have a dedicated person for doing the marketing copy, press releases, etc. I would think it would be that way in all but the biggest companies but I could be wrong. I'm sure there are opportunities though, especially if you bring to light some of your other skills so you too can wear many hats. PM me if you like.
