Fun fact: I wasn’t a copywriter when I started Big Picture.
I mean, I was, but it wasn’t my job title. I’d spent 15 years building online and experiential creative campaigns for household names, NYTimes bestselling authors, startups, an arts conservatory, and the wildest creatives in the world (children’s book authors and illustrators. No lie.)
I wrote A LOT of copy.
But as a solo business owner, I wanted to offer brand strategy to purpose-driven businesses because marketing is a holistic ecosystem and the foundational stuff gets me JAZZED.
You can’t design a logo, plan a brand photoshoot, write a website, or speak to your audience without a basic strategy in place for your brand.
I wanted my clients to move forward with marketing messaging rooted in their 5 Ps:
- What is your purpose?
- How do you want to be perceived?
- What is your personality?
- What’s your position/differentiation in your market?
- What’s the on-brand way to promote yourself?
Of course, after all that strategy work, my clients would ask me to write their copy…
Listen to episode 128 of the Content & Cocktails Podcast to hear how I became known for my copywriting and when I knew it was time to rebrand myself from Big Picture Branding to Big Picture Copywriting.
Listen and learn:
- How to tailor your offer/services based on what your clients say (and why this is so important!)
- How I decided it was time to rebrand and how I leveraged the same process I use with my own clients to rebrand my business.
- How I defined my visual ‘mood’ or ‘vibe’ for my brand and how that informed my brand photoshoot.
- Why my word of the year is ‘differentiate’ and how that came into play with my rebrand.
