Judy Dunn’s Summary

My love, and what I do best, is walking alongside smart, talented solo and small biz owners to help them develop an online presence that gives them a serious shove from average to astounding.

I get giddy just thinking about clever ways to write your social media profiles and web copy so you are that one ornament on the tree that takes people's breath away. But in a good way.

I can help you if:

• You want to be a professional, a grown-up, but feel that you are hiding some of the best, most interesting things about you.

• You know you do awesome stuff but nobody knows about it.

• You noodle and fiddle with the words in your marketing copy but they sit there, refusing to dance the way you want them to.

• You just want to show yourself and your business in ways that don't make your online visitors nod off—or click away.

It doesn't matter how much a copywriter knows about your field or industry. What matters is how curious they are, how much they know about what motivates people to buy, how inventive they are and how well they can put words together.

Oh, and two more things about me. I'm a huge fan of John Cleese but I throw on the virtual bonfire every piece of marketing copy with the cliché "killer," "amazing" or "rockin'" in it. And "cree-A-tive." I really hate that one. Because when everything is "creative," then nothing is.
