Ever gotten your head stuck in a steering wheel? I have.
It's one of my earliest memories. Waiting on my grandma who was outside the car, staring at the shiny chrome, then pretending to drive, curiosity got the best of me. Alas, my head couldn't fit through... or move back out. Even as a quiet child, I knew I'd need to make noise to escape that jam. So I honked my way to freedom.
Great copy serves as a friendly "beep." It alerts the right people, at the right time, to notice a situation and take action.
Hi. I'm Heather Bowen Ray, copywriter for agile businesses on a mission. (No steering wheel incidents since 1976. #successsstory)
I love evoking brand stories that share meaning, provoke action, and change lives. The quest to share experience-based copy drives me to conduct interviews, ask strategic questions, and research market-based solutions. Writing websites, sales copy, brand stories, or emails, it's the human element that matters most. We best connect through stories.
I've earned my copywriting chops writing for visionaries at healing arts centers and nutritional companies. I've written for therapists, personal chefs, nutritionists, general contractors, architects, designers, and one super-cool toy store.
When I'm not writing or reading, I'm generally coaching at The Habits Whisperer or hiking, biking, and hanging with friends and fam in Boulder, CO. I hold an MS from Johns Hopkins University and BS from the University of Kansas (Marketing and Journalism, natch).
That's my story. What's yours?
You're doing good work. You deserve to be heard. Attract some attention for your brand with clear copy.
The feedback I hear from clients most often:
"You really captured my essence," and, "You nailed it."
Want to see what clear, story-based copy can do for you? I promise it will be more fun than it looks.
Just honk.
