Hello!

I'm Kitty McChesney, and yes, I write! 

I have devoted more than fifteen years of my creative career to writing stories about how technology augments human ingenuity. I bring a unique perspective to my work, shaped by a multifaceted background encompassing creative practices in the visual arts, progressive journalism, higher education teaching, and academic research and scholarship in art history and classical antiquity. 

In business-to-business storytelling, my expertise includes: 

  • Customer success stories and thought leadership narratives
  • AI-enabled content generation and training
  • Market research and content strategy

Through articles, blogs, case studies, social media narratives and video scripts, I specialize in customer storytelling strategies and branded messaging that help companies deliver on strategic objectives. I have deep experience writing for a variety of industries, including agriculture, communication, defense, education, energy, fintech, government, healthcare, information technology, life sciences, manufacturing, nonprofit and retail. 

As a member and alumna of the VMware Marketing AI Council—one of the tech industry's first enterprise marketing councils and winner of a 2023 MarCom Gold Award for AI Innovation—I gained and continue to develop extensive experience in using generative AI solutions for ethical and responsible content creation. I use this knowledge and experience to guide individuals and teams to use AI to augment productivity and creativity. 

I look forward to supporting your business storytelling needs. Please contact me to schedule a conversation.
