Meet Mark Mandelbaum
Content Strategist, survivor, and storytelling advocate helping brands find the right words and the right voice to move people.
Turning Experience into Connection
I'm a Columbus-based SEO content writer and brand messaging strategist who helps small businesses, nonprofits, and creative brands connect with their audience through messaging that's authentic, clear, and strategic. With over a decade of experience in writing, marketing, and storytelling, I help brands define their voice and make sure their content actually delivers the intended results.
But this isn't just a career. It's personal.
Inspire. Thrive. Survive.
Inspire, Thrive, Survive isn't just a brand; it's a reminder of where I've been.
As a cancer survivor, I've learned firsthand how powerful stories can be. They help us connect. They help us heal. And in business, they help us grow. That belief is what led me to build this platform. I wanted to use my background in content creation, messaging strategy, and digital marketing to help others tell their stories with confidence and clarity.
Whether I'm building a brand voice, writing a blog post, or refining a home page, I bring empathy, structure, and strategy to every project. The goal is always the same: help good brands say great things.
