Hi, I'm Nicole.
I write copy that helps health & wellness businesses sell more of their products and services. My approach combines skillful copywriting and brand development strategies.
Wait … is that a typo?
Nope. I used the “B” word.
While some people say, “direct response and branding don’t mix” ... I see them as two great strategies that work better together.
Before I became a copywriter, I was a global brand strategist and loyalty marketer.
For 29 years, I worked with lots of the "big boys” … companies like MTV, Nickelodeon, Pokémon, and The Sharper Image. I helped turn those brands into multi-million-dollar businesses around the world.
As you can imagine, there are a lot of different parts to building a strong brand. But there are two essentials. And they're two of the essentials for writing high-converting copy, too.
Without these, you’re dead in the water. What are they?
- Positioning. You must have something that makes you different (and better) than your competition
- Messaging. You musst speak in a way that resonates powerfully with your core audience
Done right, these two things give you a unique marketing advantage … exactly what you need when you’re selling anything in the health & wellness space.
At this point, you may be wondering …
Why did Nicole leave a jet-setting career working with high profile brands to sell pills?
Well as much as I enjoyed my career, I wasn’t really interested in what I was selling. What did interest me was learning ways to avoid the grips of Big Pharma and to live a long, healthy and active life. Plus, I always loved to write.
So once I discovered direct response copywriting, I knew it was time to hang up my brand marketing career. I dove into the deep end of the copywriting world and I’ve never looked back.
Like all aspiring copywriters, I read books, took courses, and went to conferences. And it was at my first “bootcamp” conference that something quite remarkable happened.
One evening at the bar, I started chatting with a man. It was my first bootcamp, and I was quite the newbie. I had no idea who the industry “heavy hitters” were.
Well it turns out the man I was talking to was one of those heavy-hitters. (And I thought the people standing around us were just waiting to get a drink.)
A few months later, Heavy-Hitter Copywriter Man called me up and invited me to join his new group of copy cubs (apprentices). Of course I said yes!
Since then, I’ve learned things about copywriting you can’t find in books, online, or in courses. And I’ve written for a bunch of great natural health companies:
These days, my writing schedule is pretty full. But if you’re interested in possibly working together, please do connect with me. Here are a few ways I work with people:
Hire a Chief
I have two chiefing options:
- Project Consultant - I can work with and guide a junior copywriter through the entire process. This includes things like helping them come up with a good “big idea,” making sure their copy has a logical flow, and helping them create enticing, “gotta buy” copy
- Copy Review - Whether it’s your own copy, or another writer’s copy, it’s always good to get another set of eyes on it. I’ll do a thorough review and mark-up of the copy. I’ll give direction and ideas to make it stronger. And while I won’t rewrite the entire copy, I may rewrite portions of it as I go along.
