Although Copy Uncorked is a boutique agency with a team of talented writers, the voice you hear in this space is mostly mine. You'll find me breaking all the rules and alternating between "we" (as in CU as a brand) and then "I" (as in my personal + professional thoughts as a brand strategist, copywriter, and human).
Throughout these pages, there's plenty of tangible advice to get your words flowing and grow your business—but you'll also get to hear more about the ins & outs of mine. Thanks for hanging around!

Over the years of executing and refining our copywriting process, I started noticing how it wasn’t just the fact that there was a consistent process that allowed us to deliver results but that there was a particular technique at work.

You’ve likely heard the quote, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”, and I’d argue it’s true in branding, too.

Spend much time in this online marketing world and there’s a somewhat perplexing term you’ll eventually hear. That term is “conversion copywriting”. Originally coined by the copy wizard, Joanna Wiebe of Copyhackers, this form of copywriting is focused on getting readers to take the next best action. (Think sales.)

Have you ever clicked on a seemingly beautiful website, read through the copy, and found yourself deep in a maze of pages, only getting more confused by the minute? After quickly ‘X’ing’ out, you’re left thinking what exactly is this person offering, and why should I be interested? Or maybe you’re even thinking, “But wait, […]
Choosing a brand name is often one of the most daunting tasks in developing your brand-building strategy. Without a catchy and sticky name, how can your company attract your ideal audience’s attention (and adoration)? With the right name, you’ll have the opportunity to differentiate yourself from competitors, develop a rapport with your target audience to […]
Crafting your About Page is hands down, one of the more intimidating aspects of website copywriting, and it’s often one of the most visited pages on your site!
