Let’s fortify your brand’s message so you love the way you talk about what you do.

Meet messaging strategist, sales copywriter & copy coach, Cassie Paton

You love what you do

But when your results are undeniable, your mission is sincere, and your messaging is dialed in? That next stage of growth is inevitable.

Let’s tap into what makes your brand intoxicating. It just might make marketing fun again.



Sometimes you can’t see what your clients or customers see.

Not in the manic pixie dream girl who doesn’t know she’s beautiful way.

More like in the can’t read the label from inside the potion bottle way.

GOOD THING WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF SNIFFING IT OUT & SERVING IT UP

Articulating your unique factor is tricky business

it's one thing to be great at what you do

Since 2008, I’ve written for hundreds of brands and publications. I’ve worn the hats of award-winning blogger, plucky journalist, and digital marketer, to name a few.

Then, I spent several years in real estate operations, which taught me a lot about growing a business but didn’t make for a tidy career narrative — or so I thought.

See, I was always the person people turned to when they needed an open ear, a sharp eye, or some much-needed perspective on the big picture.

It was inevitable — only in retrospect — that I would end up where I am today, doing the work I love more than anything.


It’s rarely a straightforward path to the obvious answer

take my career for example:

With love & guts,
Cassie  Paton

The same is true of your brand’s message.

When you get it right, it seems obvious. (Because your message is likely hidden in plain sight.)

So if it feels like you’re fresh out of words, pull up a chair. I’ll help you express what’s been on the tip of your tongue all along.

Together (and with some seriously good Voice of Customer research), we’ll stir up your money-making messaging formula your ideal audience can’t get enough of.

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

These are ours.

"Where's the name from?"

But, really, it’s simple:

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.”

Then there's the nod to mixology, which makes some folks think this is a distillery.

“Mettle” represents the gutsy entrepreneurs we help. (Like you.) “Tonic” represents the invigorating antidote to garden-variety messaging and copy.

Both refer to spirit of sorts. A potent combination, I think.

— Dr. Jillian Murphy, Food Freedom Body Love

"An incredibly thorough intake + 1:1 session helped me unearth important details about my work and offer that even I hadn't thought of. From there, Cassie was able to capture my voice and express the value of my work in the most incredible way.

It made me fall in love with my work again!”
