Welcome to my website! I’d like to show you all the things I can do.You’ll find everything you need over on the menu. It’s got my best work samples, an ‘about me’ page (including fun facts), a general work history, and some other bits and bobs. In case you don’t know where to start, I’ve got two interesting highlights to share down below.︎︎︎ I live and work in Copenhagen, Denmark.&nbsp;︎ Most of my work is in English, men jeg snakker også dansk.&nbsp;︎ [HIGHLIGHT 1]Here’s me looking great in a dress. At present, most of my work is content marketing for Famly, where my audience is early childhood educators. I wrote and recorded this video to discuss the subject of gender nonconforming play. My talented colleague Lauren edited it all together. You can find more of this type of thing under ‘Content marketing’ in the menu.&nbsp;︎ [HIGHLIGHT 2] Here’s me hosting a pro wrestling show. In late 2021, I co-founded Nordic Elite Wrestling (N.E.W.) together with seven friends. We’re the newest (and hottest) independent pro wrestling promotion in Scandinavia, based in Copenhagen and drawing talent from all over Europe and beyond.We sold out our first 12 shows in a row, and we’ve got big plans for 2024.You can read more about my work in professional wrestling right here. ︎ Created by Aaron in 2023&nbsp; I hope you like it&nbsp;︎ https://ahathaway.net/1-Content-marketing Sat, 10 Dec 2022 22:17:50 +0000 Aaron "Website Haver" Hathaway https://ahathaway.net/1-Content-marketing Content marketingNobody likes feeling like you’re trying to sell them something. But people do like reading good stories, and getting useful things for free. And sometimes, you can use those things to make people want to buy what you’re selling. Maybe you’re selling a service, or an idea. Maybe you want to establish yourself as a trustworthy brand, or just give people a better idea of what you value. That’s the sort of thing I try to do with my work in content marketing. Everything below helps build a brand or pitch a product. Take a look at how blog articles, newsletters and videos can give you a clear voice and a bump in business. These are all from my work at Famly, which is why everything is focused on early childhood education.&nbsp;︎ [BLOG CONTENT] Why telling upset children "you're okay" never works Written to answer a common problem for early educators, and to talk about how we teach children good emotional skills.

During the pandemic, a huge focus for me was making resources to help early educators push through the many uncertainties they faced. This video, which I wrote based off an interview with two lead researchers from Yale University, allowed me to apply my journalistic background to content marketing.Here’s another direct link as a backup.&nbsp;︎ [CUSTOMER NEWSLETTER] A weekly letter from your pal Aaron I’m in charge of Famly’s weekly US newsletter, which goes out to about 8,000 readers across North America.

I can help. I’ll draft the press release, assemble the media kit, find the journalists, launch the press push, answer their emails, and ghostwrite the stories for some magazine.&nbsp; Having worked as a reporter too, I know what it’s like on both sides of that press release. Most of my PR/comms work was within the architectural field, working for Henning Larsen in Copenhagen.Coming to Henning Larsen with a background in journalism (rather than architecture), I was especially well-equipped to explore the human angle within every project. I wanted to show that people, rather than design alone, give buildings value. Below are a few highlights from that period. [PRESS RELEASE] <img width="1600" height="1080" width_o="1600" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da71bed37abf1c3660eb4c44539c02b5ba27f04136276847ae32935861ecfdb1/1600px_COLOURBOX39846584.jpg" data-mid="164135632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da71bed37abf1c3660eb4c44539c02b5ba27f04136276847ae32935861ecfdb1/1600px_COLOURBOX39846584.jpg" /> Hotel Alsik creates international appeal in southern Denmark&nbsp; Here, I created a press strategy specifically targeting Danish media, authoring the press release as well as supporting interviews and articles. This story was picked up by Byens Ejendom, Dagens Byggeri, Byggeri-Arkitektur, and international outlets like AAS Architecture and Design Raid. Here’s the press release. [SUPPLEMENT STORY] <img width="1507" height="1000" width_o="1507" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a15ebbaa5e32aed3d6468bd7fdcf80eb44211cd65f1cb42052707382b1ab1e9e/minneapolis-public-service-building-henning-larsen-c-corey-gaffer-031-3969317793.jpg" data-mid="164137423" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a15ebbaa5e32aed3d6468bd7fdcf80eb44211cd65f1cb42052707382b1ab1e9e/minneapolis-public-service-building-henning-larsen-c-corey-gaffer-031-3969317793.jpg" /> Elevating architecture in Minneapolis’ skywaysIn addition to formal press releases, I’d also write supplement pieces that offered journalists some extra project info, and a fresh angle to help them write up coverage.

I’d stock these with stories, photographs, architectural diagrams and any necessary logos and typefaces. Here’s a press kit I created for a high-budget media event in Kiruna, Sweden, attended by journalists from Huffington Post, The Guardian and Dezeen. I helped plan the media visit itself, and supported outreach, travel and follow-up with reporters. Take a look at the full media kit for Kiruna Town Hall right here. ︎︎︎ [INTERVIEW] <img width="2400" height="1350" width_o="2400" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21aa0f625d1bf141271b3e667a903ccc9a6eec88e45d1de8901fc514f378728a/_mg_7712.jpg" data-mid="165190827" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21aa0f625d1bf141271b3e667a903ccc9a6eec88e45d1de8901fc514f378728a/_mg_7712.jpg" /> A climate in crisis, and the architecture of revolution I called up Pelle Munch-Petersen, an industrial Ph.D. researcher at Henning Larsen, for a conversation at the crossroads of construction, capitalism and climate change.

Then I found out how little reporters make, and I sold out and moved to Denmark to work in marketing. ︎ I’ve written for six publications in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Denmark. Journalistic work isn’t just writing -- it’s also a lot of story research, brainstorming, interviewing, fact-checking, editing, proofreading, team coordination, and self-management. All these skills still serve me well in my daily work. Below, you’ll find some of the best stories I wrote as a reporter.&nbsp; [COVER STORY] <img width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/78ce45815e16b04a90ef56c0c86463bbf65e00368754c49ddcf06b82f9f07981/Cover-Legos-Trainfest-crJAndrewBeckett-03282018.jpg" data-mid="164183089" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/78ce45815e16b04a90ef56c0c86463bbf65e00368754c49ddcf06b82f9f07981/Cover-Legos-Trainfest-crJAndrewBeckett-03282018.jpg" /> Inside the world of adult LEGO hobbyists This cover story came from several months’ research, visits and interviews with a group of adult LEGO hobbyists, following them as they brought their plastic artistry to a major model railroad convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Drone technology was outpacing the legal regulations meant to govern it.&nbsp; I examined that conflict as drones flew over the grounds of a public university in Wisconsin. Dig deeper right here.

The motion meets loads of local resistance, yet the jet would keep hundreds of millions of dollars in the local economy. It’s hippies versus the Chamber of Commerce. I wrote a two-part series covering the conflict, both of which made the front page of Isthmus. Here’s part one of that story.

Aaron "Website Haver" Hathaway https://ahathaway.net/6-Danish-English Danish / English I started studying Danish for fun in 2016, and then it got out of hand. I’ve lived and worked in Copenhagen for the past five years now. As a native English speaker who’s also fluent in Danish, I’m used to bridging the two languages at work and in my personal life. In the office, I’m a nimble interviewer and researcher in Danish, and my Danish colleagues are able to express themselves and their ideas in their mother tongue. It’s important for me that nobody feels like they’ve got to change languages for my sake.Here’s a bit about how I came to speak Danish, and what I do with it. The fast facts Years spent speaking Danish: 6Skill level (listening): FluentSkill level (speaking): FluentSkill level (writing): Eh, good enoughTimes someone has asked me to say&nbsp;“rødgrød med fløde”: 13 millionHave I seen Blinkende Lygter: YesWill I eat herring to be polite: Yes Can I vote in EU elections: No <img width="600" height="492" width_o="600" height_o="492" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/696e81715a6f7ad4d967e147d25c083dde17ada8421b4f201615c6287360c8f9/Denmark-179-80-2608386124.jpg" data-mid="165058158" border="0" data-scale="62" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/696e81715a6f7ad4d967e147d25c083dde17ada8421b4f201615c6287360c8f9/Denmark-179-80-2608386124.jpg" /> “Nå, men hvorfor kan du egentlig snakke dansk?” <img width="3300" height="2400" width_o="3300" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4403911b3c01be3db7c123d259df4d0f95aa39bc48c8dea0a713023baa88805/UW-transcript-DK-highlight.png" data-mid="164702320" border="0" data-scale="100" alt="Turns out you can get a whole degree in Danish" data-caption="Turns out you can get a whole degree in Danish" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4403911b3c01be3db7c123d259df4d0f95aa39bc48c8dea0a713023baa88805/UW-transcript-DK-highlight.png" /> Turns out you can get a whole degree in Danish. I went to one of two universities in the US that offered a degree in Scandinavian Studies, though I didn’t know that when I enrolled. I picked up Danish one semester because I was interested in learning a new language. I didn’t select Danish for any particular reason, it could just as well have been Dutch. None of my family is from Denmark. Anyway, now I’m here, so I guess it paid off. <img width="1900" height="490" width_o="1900" height_o="490" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84434763063f1cad3a41a3a8bcde73da07118fdb3625c05cb2c9598473a87c77/henninglarsenarchitects_5ddd364cd91c2-3430482322.png" data-mid="164699437" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84434763063f1cad3a41a3a8bcde73da07118fdb3625c05cb2c9598473a87c77/henninglarsenarchitects_5ddd364cd91c2-3430482322.png" /> Danish at the office: translations for print, web and broadcast Working at Henning Larsen, which was often a Danish-language workplace, I learned to set Danish ideas to English writing, making sure nothing gets lost in translation.Among other language-bridging projects, I translated the foreward and introduction to Henning Larsen’s 60th anniversary monograph book, It Begins with Curiosity.

If all goes to plan, I’ll be able to apply in January 2024. In June of 2021 I passed the medborgerskabsprøve, which is like the shorter version of the indfødselsretsprøve. In May 2023 I passed the Prøve i Dansk 3 (PD3) exam with full marks across the board. Things are looking pretty good here. :)
