  • What is Unicorn Messaging?

    Welcome to Unicorn Messaging! But why unicorn? It feels so airy and very fantasy, but unicorn is very intentional. The idea behind unicorn messaging is that good messaging just isn't enough. There is so much noise out there on social media. The internet is saturated and we actually have an attention span that is worse than goldfish. 

    There are probably a hundred thousand people who want to do what you're doing or are doing what you're doing. And my thing is how do we filter out that noise? What if your messaging could make your brand irresistible—turning potential clients into super fans? This podcast is all about positioning your business for massive success with bold, strategic messaging.

    My name is Lucy and I am the messaging strategist and copywriter behind the brand My Write Hand Woman. I have been crafting verbal brand strategies for  about four and a half years, giving women founders and women owned businesses the words they need to scale into their stretchies goals. 

    • Discover how to craft messaging that makes your brand stand out in a saturated market.

    • Get real, unfiltered insights from strategy calls and consulting sessions—without the hefty price tag.

    • Learn bite-sized sales strategies and identity shifts that help scale your business from six to seven figures.

    Tune in to hear some of my best messaging strategies and also some stories of myself and my clients of elevating their messaging to change their positioning and scale their companies.

That friction might be your verbal branding, the visual branding led them there but your verbal branding is the part that makes your business irresistible and enticing to everyone who lands on it.
