The Humans Behind the Story
I'm Dava Stewart, a brand copywriter and narrative strategist who works with B2B companies in complex industries — healthcare technology, enterprise software, cybersecurity, and climate — to put original expert voices at the center of their content.
Most content teams know their internal experts hold knowledge no competitor can replicate. The challenge is getting that knowledge out of people's heads and into content that actually reaches buyers. That's the problem I've spent my career solving.
I bring a journalist's instincts to every engagement. I ask the questions experts don't expect, find the angle their own teams have stopped seeing, and shape what I learn into narratives that build credibility and trust with the audiences that matter most.
To make that process more systematic, I developed the Expertise Ecosystem — a framework for capturing, organizing, and activating SME and executive voice across a content program. It starts with understanding your marketing priorities, moves through expert interviews I conduct and document, and ends with a tagged, searchable library of original quotes your team can use across every asset they produce.
I'm based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and work with clients across the United States.
