Who We Are

VICKERY ECKHOFF writes advertising, articles, Web content, marketing communications copy--and screenplays, when she has a moment. She is an excellent writer and editor, though she's also been an account executive and an art director, so she is both visually and strategically oriented, as well as inventive. Vickery has an MBA from New York University and a resume that includes such industry leaders as American Express, Ogilvy and Mather, Forbes Magazine, and Esquire, among others.

Vickery has written about everything from motorcycles to software. Her chameleon-like writing mirrors a keen ability to get inside the heads of readers, viewers and clients. Her more noted projects have included an anti-fur campaign that made both the Art Director's annual and the CBS Evening News, a Playgirl article on dreaming about celebrities, and a live comedy written for CourtTV. Vickery is based in New York City.

Areas of expertise: automotive, beauty/fashion, business/finance, celebrities/entertainment, food/beverages, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, humor, lifestyle, media/publishing, nonprofit, packaged goods, technology and travel.

Influences: Allen Sherman, Bugs Bunny, Get Smart, Mad Magazine, Mad Libs, The Bible, the Smothers Brothers.

SALLY ECKHOFF's rhythmic and adventurous prose style, with its liberal doses of optimistic humor, has earned her column inches in major publications all over the country. A former crack ace typesetter in the 1980s, she parlayed a typositor job at the Village Voice into a busy writing gig that included book reviews, music criticism, and essays on feminism, sailors, ham and TV.
Described by a New York art critic as "serious be-bop", her work is emotionally direct, poetically astute, and always up for a night of cultural sacred cow-tipping.

Sally likes to travel to gather information, and will go anywhere: She's climbed onto mules, dogsleds, fox-hunting horses and schooners to get her story. You can find Sally's literary reviews in Newsday, Bookforum, the Wall Street Journal, Rural Heritage Magazine, the New York Times and Salon.com. Sally is currently at work on the nonfiction book "Hooves: Working Animals in the 21st Century." Sally is represented by the Malaga Baldi Literary Agency. She moved from the East Village to the Hudson Valley where she paints, trains horses as a hobby, and continues her journalistic explorations of the natural (and unnatural) world.

Areas of Expertise: Non-academic literary criticism, typography, third-wave fusion painting, working animal history.

Influences: Mad Magazine, Claude Debussy, Redmond O'Hanlon, Henri Rousseau, J.P. Donleavy, Pete Winslow, Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.
