As Creative Blue’s Marketing Copywriter Specialist, Robyn Spencer writes energetic and compelling pieces that focus on fundraising and acquiring new sponsorships. She often writes Compassion’s appeal letters, e-mails and advertisements. “I enjoy coming up with creative concepts that help our clients achieve success,” she says. “And I love knowing that something I write might inspire someone to sponsor a child or change a life.”

Robyn has six years of professional writing experience and holds a bachelor’s degree in integrated marketing communications. Before coming to Compassion in July 2007, she worked for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Stonecroft Ministries. She also enjoyed writing as an intern in Washington, D.C.

But she truly fell in love with writing when she worked at a homeless shelter in Kansas City. As a media specialist, Robyn had the privilege of interviewing homeless guests and telling their stories. “Each guest had a unique story that needed to be told,” she says. “It was there that I realized God was calling me to write.”

Robyn’s life verse is Proverbs 3:5, 6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight (NIV).”
