You’ll hear how Victoria rebuilt Kevin’s offer for the Latin market (with help from Dave Maswery) and the “nuance worker” approach brands need to avoid embarrassing—and costly—misfires.

In this episode, I handed the mic to Lolita Allgyer—our brilliant messaging and story strategist here at Copy Chief—for a deep dive into what makes story-driven copy land with real emotional punch. This was more than just an interview. Lolita came in with the mindset of a strategist working with a client (me), and what followed was an honest, curious, and wide-ranging conversation about creative process, storytelling instincts, personal evolution, and how parenting shaped both my writing and my life. We talked about everything from writing emotionally connective emails to how marijuana and music open creative portals, plus how the art of observation fuels direct response copy that connects on a deeper level. If you're a freelance copywriter working to bring more soul and strategy into your messaging–ya know, the human stuff–then, this one’s for you.
