I wrote all consumer copy for Xbox for six years, including taglines such as "You are the controller," which helped make Kinect a social phenomenon. I know how to write copy that will make your business take off. Good copy is: - Enticing - grabs the reader's attention - Persuasive - concisely communicates what you do and why they should buy - Prioritized - readers comprehend and retain information in chunks of 3 The biggest mistake startups make is not prioritizing their messaging, which means they haven't boiled down their value proposition: you sell what, to whom, and why they should buy. Once you have that you can bring it to life with great messaging. I am a strategic and creative copy writer who can help you craft your brand story with copy that works, builds your brand and sells now.
