Say It Write



It’s probably happened to all of you

You’re listening to the radio. You hear his or her voice. You begin, subconsciously, creating a visual of how this person looks. Soon, their entire physique is at the command of your imagination.

And depending upon your mental prowess, you have created a background story for them. Occupation. Family. Race, height, weight, eye color. All based on the sound quality of their voice. Every nuance is yet another clue into the depth of his or her alleged character.

And then you Google them. Or meet them. 

Such a disconnect - before your very eyes all your hard work… crack goes the proverbial Humpty Dumpty. It’s not a disappointment to humanity; it’s a disappointment to your imagination. It’s inconsistency.

You spent considerable energy and care into creating a beautiful Faberge egg of a persona. A body to match that resonating voice.

And one glance at that picture? All the king’s photoshoppers and ventriloquists couldn’t put it back together again.

But a copywriter? Maybe.

You see, a copywriter is sort of like a literature PR person. We work from the opposite end. WE take the person that you see. The hypothetical person you Googled and we help create emotional text that matches their physique; all the visual elements that you encounter face-to-face.

Every component one sees will match in everything they see, hear and read.

We give them their own form of syntax that matches the windows to their soul.

Everyone has something to say just not everyone knows how to say it. 

Therefore, it’s far too easy to have it spelled out in such a way that disconnects from a personal and professional brand.

A copywriter begins with the basics. We explore the rudimentary essentials of grammar:

  • Type: Technical, Business, Conversational
  • Tense: Past, Present, Future
  • Voice: First, Second, Third
  • Style: Expository, Persuasive, Descriptive, Narrative


And then we help you create your own unique identity. We allow individuals to experience his or her own exclusive tone, full of emotion. We capture the essence of people and generate content as an extension of their personality. We market you. We take what your brand really is and embolden it online and in print with impactful words. We translate what others cannot convey. You have thoughts; We are there to voice them.

So the next time someone sees you, hears you, reads your work  - whether all those works are combined or are separated -  the goal of everything you do is to represent yourself. For people to say, “That’s so (insert name here).”

The core of business connections



The Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce is an advocate for area businesses. Their purpose is to be the voice of local business and to serve their members. In need of a way to attract and recruit new members, they consulted our team to develop a presentation packet. We considered how the materials would function while enhancing the process. Great care was taken to maintain the integrity of the existing brand while creating materials that can be used together or separately.

Outlining each step creates more organization, streamlines the process and helps to decrease the chance of an error. Forms allow information to be collected in a thorough and organized manner and breaking down the process into manageable steps is a pleasant experience for both parties. A uniform look builds brand recognition and facilitates internal organization for preparing presentations and meetings.

Deliverables Included:
  • Pocket Folder
  • Informational Flyer
  • Trifold Brochure for Yearly Events
  • Member Application Card
