Trotter's backstory |
| Steve
"the wordjuggler" Trotter is a man of his word. He delivers on
time, every time. And his creative approach to copywriting is fueled by
a world of eclectic life experiences. During a stint in the military, Trotter defended the true north strong and free by writing poetry and shooting pool at a NORAD radar station. He toiled as a dj, longshoreman, rollbucker (you don't want to know), short-order cook, TV news soundman (CTV, CBS), and music publicist at PolyGram, where he cranked out promo copy for KISS, Metallica, Deep Purple, Tears For Fears, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Dire Straits, Van Morrison, Tina Turner, Velvet Underground, The Karate Kid and Indiana Jones. An award-winning lyricist, Trotter's writing credits include the DeGrassi High TV series (Do It, High & Low), Walter Rossi, Nanette Workman, 6 AM, Martine Chevrier, Kid, Sgt. Rock, Foreign Affairs, and Trotter. As a singer/songwriter Trotter performed in concerts with Steppenwolf, Mahogany Rush, and Midnight Oil. Trotter studied Public Relations Management at McGill University and Journalism at Concordia University. He spent sixteen years at Nights Publications editing a string of upscale Caribbean destination & lifestyle magazines (Aruba, Bonaire, Cancun, Curaçao, St.Maarten), was editorial director of Island Gourmet, and has penned travel features for The Globe & Mail, AAA Going Places, The Toronto Star, and The Miami Herald. Trotter launched wordjuggler copywriting solutions at the start of the new millennium. |
