Key Thoughts:

• I speak in words and not numbers. But when we look at how we approach our marketing for our business, even though it's copy related, there's so many ways that numbers actually play like such a valuable role in decision making. Erin Ollila (1:28)

• Sometimes we tend to think in silos, let's do our copywriting. Now, let's do our messaging or do our messaging and then do our copywriting. Now let's do our marketing, as opposed to really thinking about holistically and strategically how all of these places intersect. Michele (29:45)

• It's not a once and done, it's a once and then monitor, because I know that my copy has shifted and changed over the years, with the times with what I offer with what I do with what my client needs. Michele (35:18)

• We don't need to start from scratch, some business owners might find that their message has completely changed. And some might just need to do some tweaking to make things clearer. But what this comes down to is knowing our audience. Erin Ollila (39:09)
