Why pay a copywriter, when I can do it myself?
Even if you are a skilled wordsmith, writing advertisements, company brochures, customer newsletters or whatever takes considerable man hours and your time might be better spent on core business tasks, where your expertise is more valuable. Besides, an experienced copywriter can provide an objective view of your marketing strengths and weaknesses, identify promotional opportunities and understand how to project your message to best effect, as well as expressing it in the most convincing style.

What if I don't like the end product?
We start out with a script and refine it until you are completely happy with it. Once we get the go-ahead from you, the script you have approved will serve as our blueprint for the entire production process. This way, you know exactly what the commercial will look like and what its driving message will be.

We completely stand behind our work. If you do not like what you get, contact us.
We will do our best to work with you and your producer to solve any problems you might have.

How much does it take to get started?
For 30 second commercials, we take a retainer of $450 to finalize your
30-second commercial SCRIPT. This means that an award-winning writer
will work on your commercial concept until you are completely happy with it.

Your writer will be in direct contact with you and you will receive FREE script
revisions until you are satisfied. Watch the commercial production process.

No. Writing retainers are non-refundable. We are confident that with an
unlimited number of revisions and a staff of professional writers, you
are sure to get a script you love.
