Ed Marsh skillset

Content is easy to create, but it’s complex to coordinate, organize, and maintain. This section features my extensive experience with content and its related tools.

Agile methodologies

Agile is a software development methodology that features working on small tasks and deploying frequently.

Coding experience

I’ve dabbled in code over the course of my career to automate tasks, create websites, and convert structured content to HTML.

Community building

I excel at finding and engaging the people in your organization who are invested in retaining institutional knowledge.

Content strategy

Is your content working for your organization? I can help you find out, and improve your user experience.

Structured authoring

Adding structure to your content ensures consistency across every piece, makes it easier to manipulate programmatically, and improves SEO for your readers.

Docs-as-code

I use developer-focused tools like Markdown, Git, and VS Code to democratize content creation across your organization.

Governance

Content without governance is an organizational nightmare, unsustainable, and impossible to maintain.

Information architecture

The way your content is presented and organized says a lot about how your company prioritizes it.

Technical communication leadership

Ed Marsh has over 30 years of expertise in content strategy, documentation, and community building.

Metrics and data

Every organization wants to know how its content is performing. Content strategists and technical writers also want to know those metrics so they can plan and ensure the content they create is relevant and highly used topics are addressed.

Podcasting

Podcasts are an important content offering. I’ve been a host, producer, and guest.

Project management

Technical content is used throughout many parts of your business — from marketing to support and more. I excel at coordinating with subject matter experts — developers, product managers, support teams, and senior management.

Public speaking

I’ve presented numerous technical communication-related talks — online and in-person — adding value, giving back, and promoting the profession.

Technical writing

Technical writers are a Venn diagram of detective, translator, and librarian.
