Brand Messaging

THIS IS YOU. You had the viral moment. The spike in sales. The adrenaline hit. But two weeks later? Silence. No repeat customers. No retention. No loyalty. You went viral – and now you’re invisible. To TikTok buyers, your brand is just another meme: funny for 15 seconds, forgotten by dinner. Most small brands think […]

Why do some DTC brands instantly feel trustworthy, while others feel like scams? It’s not the packaging. Not the product. Not even the price. It’s the emotional story your brand is telling. And here’s the truth: most DTC founders miss the fact that the most powerful stories aren’t the ones they create – they’re the ones their customers are already telling.

Your brand doesn’t sound like one company. It sounds like five freelancers, one agency, and a product manager all fighting over the mic. Customers don’t trust chaos. They trust clarity. Alex Lieberman, co-founder of Morning Brew, scaled a media company from a daily email into a powerhouse brand – and he did it by obsessing

A client spent $10,000 on branding. The logo was clean. The colors were tight. The “About” page felt poetic. And yet… nothing converted. Visitors came. Scrolled. Left. No emails. No carts. No sales. It wasn’t the design. It wasn’t the offer. It was the copy – and the fact that it was all about me.

If you wrote your own website copy, you’ve already made one of the most expensive mistakes in your business. Copy is not a pitch. It’s a mirror. If your website sounds like a pitch, you’ve already lost. The best-performing websites don’t try to convince – they reflect. They make the customer feel like you read

They don’t interrupt the scroll. They don’t trigger curiosity. They don’t give the reader any reason to stop and look twice. This article breaks down why

How to tell if your Shopify homepage is actually converting – or just confusing people in under 5 seconds. A few years ago, I visited a beautiful DTC skincare site. Crisp photography. Minimalist design. Great vibe. But I stared at the homepage headline for 8 seconds… and still couldn’t tell what they actually sold. Sound

Clever copy is killing your sales, and you’re too proud of it to notice. You spent hours obsessing over the headline, the pun, the “tone.” But your customer didn’t laugh. They left. And if they don’t get it in 3 seconds, they’re gone – for good. Clarity isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s the first

The most successful DTC brands don’t write product descriptions. They write what the customer feels but can’t articulate. They write emotions. And those emotions convert strangers into superfans. Kristin Ess didn’t build a cult following just by making great hair products. She built it by making every shopper feel like her products were made just

AI copy isn’t bad. It’s just boring. It’s clean. It’s correct. And it’s making your brand sound like a chatbot. Scroll through any product page, email, or ad right now. You’ll see the same safe phrases, the same “friendly but forgettable” tone, the same brand voice pretending to be helpful – but saying nothing real.
