After all, ChatGPT can spit out some clever prose faster than you can type thesaurus.com. (But you don’t strike me as someone who would trust a bot with your brand.)
What you need is a messaging strategist.
Someone who goes on more than mere writerly instinct. Who dives deep into your brand, industry, and audience and comes up with a treasure chest filled with messaging opportunities.
That’s how your business stands out from the crowd. It’s what I do best.
AND YEAH—YOUR AUDIENCE IS GONNA WANT TO DRINK UP EVERY LAST WORD.
