I turn words into money.

Howdy, I’m Brian. I build brands with words and communities with heart.

Copywriting

I help brands grow by creating attention-grabbing concepts and writing copy that compels and sells.

Companies also hire me to perform copy triage to fix the words that aren’t working hard enough in their sales and marketing communications.

Brand consulting

I advise startups and growing companies on how to make their brand stronger in order to convert more prospects into buyers, enhance customer loyalty, and increase the impact of all their marketing communications.

Amplify your brand joy

My brand copywriting studio, Joy& works with companies and agencies to help build brands that people love buying. We make hiring a copywriter as easy as ordering from an ice cream parlor.

CreativeMornings

I write the email newsletter and social for this global community with chapters in over 200 cities.

I’m also a co-founder of our Austin chapter; where 100+ people gather over breakfast tacos, coffee, live music, and an inspiring talk every month.

I should probably blog more

Trust the process. And each other.
