Hi, I'm Claire, the human behind the keyboard
Researcher, writer, founder (in that order)
Like many newbie writers, I never understood the power of customer research. But with 6+ years of experience under my belt, and plenty of experience in conversion copywriting, I now know that that the best messaging a brand can put out comes from their customers.
That's why my small team and I dedicate hours to learning everything we can about you, your business, and your best customers.
You won't find any agency-style set-and-forget content creation templates at Copy Island - optimization is our game.
