Barkada Circle®
At Barkada Circle®, content creation includes interviewing, writing, scripting and editing. Our approach is not simply to report facts or recount events. Effective storytelling helps readers to realize why they should care about the outcome and how they have an important role in it. We use words to transform readers into active participants in the story.
Content drives the audience to your website. Stories work if they are written with the end goal in sight. They must lead with impact and have a clear call to action.
Barkada is a Filipino word that means "best friends". In this spirit, we aim to develop strong, long term partnerships with mission-driven organizations, such as foundations and associations, that work toward improving people’s lives in the communities they serve.

Wintergreen by Maia Nolan-Partnow
No time to do it yourself? I offer quick, clean, creative copywriting, often at a flat rate.
Project pricing includes two rounds of client revisions. Revisions in excess of two rounds will be subject to a 10 percent surcharge per additional round.
They say when it comes to creative work, it can be fast, cheap, or good — pick two. In my opinion, good should be a given. The other option is up to you.
