Strong brands are built one word at a time.

I’ve built brands with words across every type of media for advertising agencies, startups, and global corporations. With years of experience as a copywriter and creative director, I can hit the ground running to understand complex problems and deliver creative solutions.

Writing

The right words captivate and motivate hearts and minds. I love developing a brand’s voice and crafting compelling messages that turn prospects into buyers and customers into fans.

Revisions

Good marketing can suffer when feedback isn’t so great. When stakeholders have “just a few more comments,” it can derail your effectiveness and demoralize your team. Don’t let all those tweaks break your work. I turn blah revisions into better results.

Copy triage

Landing page not converting? Ads not engaging? Pitch deck not closing? Sales funnel not funneling? Let’s fix the words that aren’t working hard enough. I'll assess, edit, rewrite, and save the day.

Concepting

Brainstorming. Generating big ideas. Whatever you call it, I love doing it. From leading a session with your internal team to landing a third campaign direction that rounds out your new business pitch, I’ll deliver an adrenaline shot of thinking.

Working with Brian was like having a second brain. His attention to detail and the quality of work his team delivered made my job easier.”

I'm a conceptual copywriter, so I know how to execute big brand ideas across every touchpoint. I also write great content that delights and converts, but you should probably find someone else to write good-enough content much cheaper.

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter, ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”

“I bring the lightning.”

— Brian Thompson

Collaborating with Brian seriously leveled up the rebrand and site we worked on. Our client loved the sharp and snappy copy.”
