Behind the scenes
HEY THERE, I´M DANIELLE
I once carried around a camera bigger than me, chatting it up with strangers, politicians, educators, and community leaders convincing them to get on TV.
Hitting the city streets and country roads of Central and Southeast Alabama was my life as a TV news reporter for nearly 7 years. Writing, shooting, and editing my own stories – I did it all. It wasn’t until my last year, that I had an amazing photog to work with.
Besides my TV days, I self-published a poetry book and created a magazine (both print and digital). Oh, and I taught creative writing to local teens.
In 2019, I started using my experience to help businesses stand out with punchy words and videos. My portfolio includes content for a Shark Tank-featured company whose products have been sold at Walmart, Target, and Amazon!
If you’re looking for someone who can write words that sell, or create cinematic videos, with the same determination it took to chase down leads and coax strangers onto the evening news, you’re in the right place.
Now that you already know my story,
LET ME TELL YOU…
My years in TV news and print media have given me a well-rounded storytelling nerd. I’ve learned to create great narratives that work across all formats.
News deadlines taught me to deliver quality work on time, every time. This skill fits perfectly with the fast-paced world of digital content creation. You can count on me to get your projects done when you need them, without cutting corners.
Over the years, I’ve developed a three-step process to make sure your content connects with your audience. It starts with defining and gaining clarity on your brand’s goals and needs.
Next comes strategizing, digging deep into your brand’s messaging to find what drives action.
Finally, extracting involves compiling all your brand’s attributes to pull out the most compelling facts and weave them into a cohesive narrative.
My goal? Creating content that not only grabs attention but also gets your audience to take action.
Need fresh content? Create engaging videos? Develop an effective content strategy? I’m here to help with all of it. I’ll tell your stories in a way that makes you stand out in today’s crowded digital world and brings real results for your business.

“Danielle’s work speaks for itself. During the initial session she asked questions that got me talking and was able to capture the way I said things.”

2018
THE YEAR I KNEW I NEEDED TO PIVOT
In 2018, I decided enough was enough. I knew my skills and creativity could be used outside of TV news. So, I spent most of my off days and late nights after work, trying to get closer to my goal.
2019
THE YEAR THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
I launched Chayil Media Publishing. By the way, chayil is a Hebrew word found in the Bible, often translated into English as strength, valor, or excellence – qualities I strive to bring to every project.
2020
I SPOKE ON MY FIRST PANEL ABOUT MARKETING
I was a panelist on the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce Business Bootcamp event. The panel focused on branding and messaging.
2021
FULL CIRCLE MOMENT
I partnered with my alma mater, Troy University, to do a virtual marketing workshop, organized by their student entrepreneurship hub, the IDEA Bank. Back when I was a reporter, I covered the announcement that this very program would be starting soon.
2024
AWESOME YEAR SO FAR!
Time flies! I’m currently celebrating 5 years in business as of June 2024!
