The "Adholics"

Josh Anderson | LiveWire Copy

My name is Josh, and I’m an “Adholic”

Josh showed signs of writing acumen even back in fourth grade when he placed No. 2 pencil to wide-rule paper and scratched out his first short story. “Romancing the Leaf” was 2-1/2 pages of unabashed adventure, romance and spelling errors. Sure it was a “Romancing the Stone” rip-off with a more believable plot line. But hey, he was only 10.

Thanks to Microsoft Word, Josh’s spelling has gotten a lot better since then. And his ideas are his own. But instead of writing fiction, Josh develops the real-life stories of companies for mass media. And he’s parlayed his unique grasp of the English language into a successful career. Even his wife says he’s a prose pro.

From advertising to news editorial, financial to direct mail and social media, Josh has written the gamut of marketing communications to engage audiences of all types. His clients include Securian Financial Group, Allied Solutions, Cherokee National Life Insurance Company, Private Bank Minnesota, LiLu Interiors, Pisa Design, Kai*len Love + Life Architecture and Agile Mobile Solutions, all of which have benefitted from the funny things he does with words.
