Messaging That Moves: Writing for Brand, Campaigns, and Conversion
Over the course of my career in association marketing, I’ve written messaging that moved people—from first click to final purchase. Whether I was writing a high-level conference theme or a subject line for a limited-time offer, I treated every piece of copy as a chance to connect strategy with audience action.
I created the creative brief and campaign messaging for our annual conference each year, shaping everything from the email cadence to the video script to the microsite copy. I developed benefit-focused messaging for advanced certifications, new programs, and digital products—working across member and nonmember segments, adjusting voice and value proposition for each.
My role spanned the full campaign arc: I led the message strategy, crafted the copy across email, web, print, landing pages, social ads, and videos—and collaborated closely with our design and product teams to align content with outcomes.
Highlights include:
-
Wrote high-converting campaign copy for non-dues revenue programs—conferences, certifications, publications, and education products
-
Created creative briefs and campaign narratives that guided both messaging and visual direction
-
Developed segmentation-aware messaging for both members and nonmembers, tailoring tone and benefits accordingly
-
Helped define the brand voice and infused it across digital channels, including new landing pages, ads, and email sequences
-
Always anchored messaging in user value—asking not just what we’re selling, but why it matters to the person reading
Across every format, my writing was grounded in strategy and audience insight—ensuring every message worked harder to drive engagement, revenue, and long-term connection.
