Hmm?

Yes, I need AWESOME brochure copyIs that all I do?
Nah, I just figured you were tired of reading. I also do name, brand and logo development, landing pages, print ads, press releases, trade show banners, sales letters and probably whatever else you have in mind.
Need rates and samples? Just ask.
Yes, this is what I need.
Heads Up: When I work for you, I won’t accept work from a direct competitor. On the flip side, if your competitor hires me before you do, I’ll have to turn you down:(
Be proactive!
PROCESS
"So I schedule a call. Then what?"
Quick response
I reply within 24 hours, you fill out a short form to clue me in, and if we sense a potential fit, we schedule a Zoom intro call.
Complimentary consult
This is a 20 min Can-we-work-together-amazingly? meeting. We chat about your new project or troubleshoot your existing materials. Always something new and interesting in these convos!
(If we need a longer meeting to plan the route ahead, we’ll schedule that in.)
Pause. Are we aligned? You like. I agree. Let’s do this.
Proposal
Your clear proposal will include:
- Detailed list of marketing collateral to be completed
- Precise fee schedule
- Expected timeline with the next available start date
No hourly rates, no sliding scales, no unexpected expenses. You have my word.
Projects are scheduled in the order proposals are returned, so if you’re the type to sit on it for a while, try to resist that temptation. You’ll lay your golden egg faster if you return it pronto.
Hoots Process
Research
I research your industry, company, and competitors diligently. Most importantly, I enter the minds and media of your customers and study what makes them click.
My info-gathering tool-kit includes interviewing your most knowledgeable team members (anyone, even cleaning crew!), analyzing GA reports, auditing competitor materials, mining relevant forums and blogs, plus a few other secret methods. (I stop at waterboarding:)
If you’re in or around NYC, we can chat at your place. Meeting the team, feeling their energy, and observing customer interaction gives me valuable insights that Zoom can’t replicate.
Relaxation (for you) & Writing (for me)
Your project is well underway; you can rest assured!
You can expect the actual writing to take 2-6 weeks, depending on the scope. I may contact you with some follow-up questions. Answering them promptly keeps your project from pulling over to the shoulder.
And then - it’s all yours! Your copy will be neatly wireframed and include image suggestions, metadata, and directions for the developer, designer and/or printer when applicable. (Designers love this!)
Feedback
You review, you comment, I revise and get it proofread. Requests for revisions are welcome within one week of copy receipt. After that my brain turns to mush:(.
Fly with it
This is where you get the Owl Advantage, if you wish. I’m available to collaborate with team members and offer support as the copy is implemented. And if you use the awesome people from my network, I offer complete project management.
The Test-Run:
I stay on board for testing and validation, tracking conversions and tweaking subject lines, headlines and button text to maximize your ROI.
End Result: A powerful sales piece you are eminently proud of.
Full Disclosure:
I’m not a yes-man.
I will not keep clacking away at the keyboard if I know your venture isn’t viable.
I’ll tell you.
Gently, of course:)
AGENCY COPY
So you have this project that landed in your inbox.
