Your copy’s job is to sell

When you work with me, you can:

Why you started your business. Why you stay in business. And why you approach your work the way you do.

The answer to “why” tells me a lot about what makes you and your business unique.

And it helps us nail a message that’s true to you and makes a 100-proof case for what you’re selling.

I’m Cassie Paton, and I believe the antidote to weak copy is a deep-dive into

why.

Most businesses make the mistake of writing copy that’s all about them.

We’re not going to do that.

Instead, we’ll craft a message that makes your client the brave hero of your brand’s story.

Every quarter, Mettle & Tonic donates a percentage of profits to organizations that support women’s access to reproductive healthcare.

The name Mettle & Tonic makes for a good conversation starter, even if it’s confusing. 

“Mettle” is a homophone that also sounds like “metal,” “medal,” AND “meddle.”
