Your AI content sucks.
Your competitors' AI content sucks.
Everyone's AI content sucks.

And you know what's worse? You're all paying through the nose for it.

While you're sitting there wrestling with prompts like a cat trying to open a doorknob, we've built something that actually works. Because unlike every other "revolutionary AI tool" (looking at you, [REDACTED]), we know it takes more than 10 prompts and a prayer to write content that doesn't sound like it was outsourced to a drunk toddler.

We use 450+ prompts. Overkill? Maybe. But at least our stuff doesn't read like it was written by an AI having an existential crisis.

Some receipts for the skeptics:
↳ Slapped 400 blogs on our site = 10x traffic in 3 months
↳ Halved content budgets while 5x-ing output (yeah, your Content Manager's been lying about costs)
↳ Helped tiny startups pimp-slap Fortune 500s right off page 1

After a decade watching the B2B content circus, I've seen every "game-changing" tool and "revolutionary" AI writer. Most of them belong in the same trash bin as your last strategic plan.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: Your investors aren't buying your "we're playing the long game" BS anymore. They want to see organic traction, and your three LinkedIn posts from 2023 aren't cutting it.

You need Penfriend.ai if:
✓ Your competitors are living rent-free at the top of Google while you're still "building awareness"
✓ VCs are ghosting you because your "organic presence" looks like a digital ghost town
✓ You're burning cash on content that reads like it was plagiarized from a terms of service agreement
✓ You're ready to stop being the industry's wallflower and start being its problem child

Sound familiar? Then you're exactly who we're looking for.

The hard truth? You suck at AI. But it's not your fault. You've been sold a lie by companies who think "AI writing" means letting GPT go wild after a two-prompt foreplay.

We fixed it. Because someone had to.

DM me "PAGE ONE" and I'll show you how we're helping companies terrorize their competition online.

P.S. If you're happy with generic, soulless AI content that sounds like everyone else's, this probably isn't for you. And that's okay. Someone has to keep the internet boring.

Project Manager

Fractional Head of Content Marketing / Expert content strategy, precise editorial planning, and top-notch writing / Specializing in the language services industry

I build and run B2B content marketing programs that drive awareness and growth, focusing on the language services industry.  I usually come in and optimize / expand current programs, rather than building from scratch because most of my clients are already doing some form of content.  

BUT, if you are publishing content but aren’t growing your audience and seeing an increase in revenue then something’s deeply wrong. 

Content marketing should give you 6x the ROI of other marketing methods. 

But yet marketing directors tell me they: 
--are blogging and posting on social but it’s random and they want to 'put strategy around it'
--have a sales team saying ‘where’s the content’ or ‘our content sucks’ 
--lack the bandwidth or expertise to build a content strategy themselves
--have an agency writing their content but are frustrated because they don't understand the industry 
--don’t know what their target audience wants to hear about so are just copying what competitors write about
--have a content development process that is chaotic and stressful 

If any of these challenges ring a bell for you, there's a fix:  

Long-term, part-time content strategy and program execution that drives awareness and leads, frees up your time, and grows revenue for your business.  

If you work with with me you will get: 

➡️ Revenue growth from content aligned with your top-value buyer
➡️ Done-for-you execution of your ongoing full-funnel content program
➡️ Multiplier on your content ROI because of planned repurposing and broad distribution
➡️ High-quality, substantive content due to my subject matter expertise  

My clients would say I am both strategic and tactical, I focus on teamwork and clear communication, and that I provide organization and focus to everything I touch. 

‘Lee is a rare gem! She is not only fluent in the language of localization, but also keeps her finger on the pulse of content strategy best practices. From helping us produce compelling campaigns, to refining our personas and improving operational efficiencies, she has been an invaluable asset to our team.’
—Natalie Ayers, Senior Director of Marketing at United Language Group

And what about me as a human? I love to hike and run trails, cook, golf, and travel (34 countries so far). Lifelong student, teacher, and writer.  I was born in Peru and I speak Spanish. I live in Idaho with my husband, son, and Westie terrier. 

If you're a language services provider who needs to improve your content program to drive growth, DM me. We can chat about your goals and gaps.

Lee Densmer

So many of us marketers did not study marketing. It doesn't matter. 

If I could go back in time to my university days, I would not make different choices.  I have three degrees, 2 of which didn't put me on any direct career path.   

🔹 I have an English degree in professional writing, which taught me how to think, research, draw conclusions, and put my findings into the written word.  

🔹I have a degree in secondary education which has helped me understand how to relay concepts so the maximum number of people can understand it.  I’ve learned how to bring information clearly to others.  

🔹I have a master's degree in Romance language linguistics. I learned to see the world through the lenses of others, to play with language, and to see parallels across language structures. This has made me both more empathetic and more creative. 

Overeducated? Maybe. 

But perfect content marketing qualifications: writing, teaching, and understanding people through language and culture. 

What did you study that prepped you for your marketing career?

I turn ad hoc, disconnected content efforts into a focused content marketing program that drives revenue / Improving ROI of complex, established enterprise content programs / Content strategist, author, and teacher

Bottom of funnel content is where the $ is, but many B2B blogs don't have much of it.   (Especially services companies).  

It's where you should be putting your effort right now.  

Quick check: is your blog full of 'what is', 'how to', or 'how we' content? The latter is bottom of the funnel.  

To help your team do more of these, here's a terrible BOFU blog post outline: 

- This is who we are
- Here are our product features
- Here’s our pricing

Now here's a good one:  

- Here’s your challenge and why it's hurting you
- Here’s how this specific service or product of ours can help you
- Here’s a success story or social proof to convince you we're the best choice
- here’s how to get in touch with us to talk about a solution to your challenges

 Bonus points for SME insights or a strong opinion on how to fix what your customers are struggling with. 

What’s holding your team back from writing conversion content?
