As an English major that started in editing and later B2C copywriting, Emma arrived in the B2B tech space wondering where all the creativity had gone. (And how all this jargon showed up!)

Make it Punchyserves as a humorous workbook with frameworks to employ and clear case studies to learn from. Mikey and Molly go through some of our favorites with Emma such as “Value-Benefits-Feature” (VBF) that is dang-near-guaranteed to make both marketing and sales teams happy.

Emma is now the founder of Punchy—a consulting and training firm for positioning—and speaks all the time on the subject. Check out where to follow her work below.
