Hey! Hi. It's me with a quick word.


Hey friends,

A quick heads-up: There won't be a new Copywriter Column or Weekly Round Up this week.

I'm heading out for a family reunion, which means trading my keyboard for some quality time with family and making sure my almost 4-year-old doesn’t run into the bonfire.

But before I go, I have a small favor to ask.

As some of you know, I've been building Real People, my little copywriting and marketing consultancy.

And right now, I'm looking to connect with more brands, marketers, and agencies who could use an experienced set of eyes (or hands) on their copy and marketing.

That might look like:

  • Copywriting support: Emails, landing pages, ads, and other conversion-focused copy.
  • Copy consulting: Audits, messaging strategy, brand voice development, and helping teams figure out what's working (and what's not).
  • Team workshops and coaching: Helping copywriters and marketing teams sharpen their skills, improve their processes, and produce better work.

After spending years writing copy, leading teams, and helping brands grow, I've realized that some of my favorite work happens when I get to help other people get better at what they do.

So, if you know a founder, marketer, or agency leader who might benefit from any of the above, I'd be incredibly grateful for an introduction.

No elaborate pitch needed. Just connect us, and I'll take it from there.

You can reach me directly at matt@realpeople.agency. Or just hit reply to this email.

And if you're the person who could use some help? Well, that works too.

Thanks, as always, for being here and reading my little corner of the internet. It means a lot.

I'll be back next week with more thoughts on copywriting, marketing, and whatever else is rattling around in my noggin’.

Cheers,

Matt
