(new consultants, bootstrappers, solo startups)

Your business is your art. You get to create it from scratch, with a little help from the right clients and customers.

My business is helping yours grow in the right ways.

I am resourceful. I am intuitive. I am playful. And I won’t push you into any color-by-numbers marketing systems. Just more of the same, revenue-generating stuff that’s worked for me and dozens of my clients.

Here are a few examples of new businesses who came to me for the works:

• Amy Berlin, MD. Developed messaging and wrote website copy, wrote case study, created elevator striptease, advised on business strategy and marketing plan, crafted workshop and pitch emails.
• Benz Communications. Developed messaging; wrote website, bios, case studies, and white paper.
• Marissa Myers Consulting. Developed messaging and wrote website copy; interviewed client and wrote awkward-free testimonial-case study.
• Basic Goodness Health Coaching. Wrote web copy for About and Work with Me pages.
• Love This Place. Developed messaging; wrote website and lead-generation email.

“How do you want me to refer to you when I rave about you to other people?
I abandoned ‘copywriter’ a long time ago. Business coach? Miracle worker?”

“Kelly Parkinson is the best. She coached me in developing my business, wrote copy for my website, helped me with an elevator pitch, gathered client testimonials. I’d hire Kelly all day long.”

Marissa Myers

“I was starting a new division of my business, and it seemed hard to explain what I was trying to do. I’d been reading Kelly’s blog, and it just clicked with me. I like how she writes, and I like her message. I’ve had web copy in the past that was dry, boring, business-y. Kelly’s isn’t like that. She writes copy that is clever and casual and that grabs you in a non-slimy way. There’s something sort of magical about the way Kelly listened, took all of the pieces I gave her, and synthesized them into something that seems casual, easy, and conversational. Working with Kelly, I got really well-written copy, but it was so much more than that. She had an entire marketing plan for me, and she helped me create the framework for the launch of my business.”

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY

New Business Gets Non-Slimy Copy and a Marketing Jump-Start from “Magical” Copywriter

SITUATION SUMMARY: When Eileen Corrigan decided to branch off of her existing business into a new endeavor, she hired Copylicious to help her figure out exactly what she wanted to say about her new company, and to form the message for the new company. What Eileen didn’t expect to receive was a marketing plan and a framework for launching her business.

THE CHALLENGE

“I was redefining my business, and having a hard time figuring out my message.”

I was starting a new division of my business, branching off from my established business. I was basically redefining my business, and it seemed hard to explain what I was trying to do.

WHY COPYLICIOUS?

“Kelly’s writing has a friendly tone. It’s clever and casual at the same time. I’d never encountered another copywriter like her.”

I’d been reading Kelly’s blog, and it just clicked with me. I like her message and how she writes. I knew from her writing that she was someone like me, someone I would like. I could tell she would be smart and insightful. Her work speaks in a regular person’s voice–like a clever, more precise and strategic version of the way I talk.

I’ve had web copy in the past that was dry, boring, business-y. Kelly’s isn’t like that. She writes copy that makes a good first impression, that grabs you in a non-slimy sort of way. I’d never encountered another copywriter like her.

SOLUTION

“Kelly helped me figure out what I wanted to say, and she helped me create the framework for the launch of my company.”

Kelly got me thinking about a lot of things I hadn’t yet considered with the launch of my company, like the marketing tracks I could take. She had clearly done this process before, so she helped me with more than just the writing. She asked me a lot of questions–not just about what I wanted to say, but about deeper business processes and marketing options. Questions about my customers, too. Her questions helped provide the framework for my company’s launch.

APPROACH

“Working with Kelly is way better than working with your average copywriter. I felt like she cared about my business as much as I do.”

Kelly’s process is personal. I felt close to it and a part of it. Kelly helped me determine the message I wanted to get out there, and she helped me figure out the more strategic side of my business launch too.

Kelly really just got it. Whenever I had a bunch of ideas that seemed unconnected, I knew I could trust her to weave them together. There’s something sort of magical about the way she listened, took all of the pieces I gave her, and synthesized them into something that seems casual, easy and conversational.

RESULT

“Kelly is a magician. When I first saw the copy she wrote, I was laughing, because it was just so good—so quick and clever.”

I got really well-written copy, but it was so much more than that. Kelly had an entire marketing plan for me, and so many ideas for how I could grow my business. She has extraordinary knowledge about that whole process, and she had so much enthusiasm for all of those possibilities.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely worth the price I paid, and I would definitely recommend her to other entrepreneurs, small companies, and startups. Anyone who needs to get a business online could benefit from hiring her.

As I create additional products or services for my business, I just might hire Kelly again!
