“If I was asked to give advice to a group of young copywriters, I'd tell every single one of them to work with Erin Reitz because she will make you a better writer and creative thinker.
She has the highest standards and will not lower them for any reason. She helped me realize the value in slowing down and thinking hard about a solution before taking the next step.
She's an enigma of creativity and proper grammar and the best kind of person to have on your team.”
Jason Cahill
Senior Copywriter
“Erin is one of those rare writers who is so skilled at her craft that you wish everyone was able to achieve the balance of detail and focus within the larger strategic picture like she can. She writes with brevity and cleverness that achieves function while still delighting the reader. Her respect for the craft of other creative team members, such as visual designers, makes her a pleasant and warm teammate to collaborate with. She is able to build trust and respect with her peers and those she leads and mentors, both through her demeanor and her ability to write well with design-level thinking.”
Tess Andersen
Senior Creative Development Manager
“I had the chance to see Erin’s leadership skills shine when she participated in a stretch assignment as a full-time creative lead. That role saw Erin overseeing digital projects from start to finish, providing feedback on both copy and design, presenting work to senior leadership, working cross-functionally with fellow leaders, and helping clear project roadblocks. I received numerous kudos from the creative team, praising Erin’s process-oriented leadership style and her willingness to provide additional support and training outside the team’s day-to-day projects.
Whether as a copywriter, editor, or leader, Erin is a stellar digital creative with an amazing ability to develop compelling consumer narratives that resonate. I count myself incredibly lucky to have worked with Erin and am excited to see what she does next with her many talents!”
Brittni Adams
Senior Creative Manager
"As a copywriter, Erin is a creative’s creative – someone who works to bring real art (through words) to both her craft and the great wheel of commerce. I appreciate her zeal; she is someone who never settles for the easy cliché when there is a new, surprising way to make a statement. Along with being a hard-working wordslinger, she’s also a great team member with a big heart, a knowledgeable mind, and an eye for details. Most of all, she cares – really cares – about the work."
Thomas Prowell

"Erin is a joy to work with. She is motivated and very enthusiastic about her work. She takes charge of her tasks, and follows them through to the end. She is very imaginative and creative and has contributed many viable ideas to the development efforts at Seattle Public Theater. She is fearless and at ease speaking up at staff and board meetings. Erin works well with staff and board members, and is reliable, conscientious and responsible. She will make a fabulous member of any organization."

“Fittingly, Erin exemplifies our "Do It The Right Way. Always" value to a T. She brings an incredible attention to detail to even the smallest task. This doesn't just simply ensure that work is done right, but her care for each project makes the entire process more productive and efficient, limiting swirl and the need for revisions. She takes the time to make sure that nothing is missed, ultimately saving everyone time. Erin is a wonderful mentor to other writers and teammates and shares her invaluable experience and skill wherever she's needed.”

Phoebe Cutter
Senior Manager, Creative Direction
“Erin, thank you for being so on top of the EBB and ACP project. It's been (and still is) a long and confusing assignment, but each step of the way you have been incredibly sharp and diligent (as you are every time I work with you).”
Mark Billows
Manager, Creative Direction
“Thank you for all your work on the recent OnePlus and Google device launches. I know it's work y'all have either not done in quite some time or not done at all here, and it certainly wasn't as simple as it should've been. You got everything together under some turbulent circumstances with aplomb. You kept the customer experience in focus and delivered the best solutions possible. And while this kind of work is rarely the most glamorous, it is the work that keeps this company afloat, and it deserves recognition. So again - thank you.”
Mark Schlipper
