Linde Hyder

More than 26 years experience in the marketing division of some of the nation’s largest real estate companies has provided me with a comprehensive background in numerous promotional activities. These include brand development, implementing multi-media marketing plans, creating and organizing advertising and public relations campaigns and extensive event planning for more than 1,000 sales associates. During this time I have sharpened my writing skills by developing copy for newsletters, brochures, press releases, web sites, Blogs and presentation books.

Earlier this year my position was scaled back to part time. This in fact was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me the opportunity to pursue my passion for writing. I am a creative writer with a firm grasp on the ‘power of the pen’. I particularly enjoy helping real estate professionals hone in on their “hook” and use it to promote themselves to potential prospects utilizing print as well as online sources.

A busy working mom I have a daughter who is a junior in college and a very active 9-year-old son. Having graduated from the College of Journalism at the University of Florida I am also passionate about Gator Football.
