Working with Jess has really helped me to get so many ideas out of my head and on to paper. With Jess you are getting a very skilled copywriter but also a savvy business coach. She gave me great advice for a recent launch that did not require me to exert a lot more energy and led to enrollments. 

Jess is a joy to work with and the content I have created during our time together is being used in so many ways. Thanks Jess!

any of these sound like you?

Your website or online presence doesn’t quite reflect the essence of your work and personality, and it’s time for a rebrand.

You’ve tried writing your own newsletters, blogs, posts, and website copy, but it either takes you way too long, or you can’t stay consistent with it.

Your recent campaigns and marketing efforts have not been doing so great, and you’re ready for a different approach.

 

Since working with 85+ (and counting) businesses on their copywriting and strategy over the years, there’s one thing I learned: 

words matter. 


The way you word something could mean the difference between someone saying “oh that could be cool,” or “YES! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.” (I’m a fan of the latter.) 

Like a dance, words not only communicate something, but they evoke emotion, relatability, understanding, and - with the right touch - motivation to take action. 

I’d love to be your partner in the word-dance!

“jess reinvented my business.”

My business, Studio Maya, was devastated by Covid. Though I switched to online classes and videos, my revenue was struggling and I was at risk of losing my space. In no uncertain terms, Jess reinvented my business. Not only did she come up with three programs that worked as soon as I launched them, but the programs were so unique to me and my studio. 

For years, I had hired other people/companies to help me with social media and business development but none of them worked. Jess, on the other hand, captured the essence of my offerings and packaged them in ways that are in alignment with my vision and moral compass. She is a strategist with soul. She has a genuine love for helping others succeed. And she does all this with directness, playfulness and lots of grounded "YES!" energy.

“…helped me grow my business and resonate with my ideal clients.”

Jess Grippo has helped me create inspiring content, claim my voice, and brainstorm creatively when I feel stuck. Her creative thinking, masterful copywriting, and brilliant subject lines have helped me grow my business and resonate with my ideal clients. I've sometimes hired copywriters who didn't get my voice. Not so with Jess. Because she is a true creative, she really is able to get my voice and help me stay true to my messaging.

Before Jess, I was not consistent in copywriting even though I'm a good writer. After Jess, I get excited about creating content for my email community and facebook. I value her work so much that I invited her to be a guest expert for my Women on Purpose entrepreneurial program. My clients rave about working with Jess and how their emails are getting attention, selling their services, and making launches much easier and fun!

“…got me deep into who I really am and the truth of my work.”

Carla-735x1024.jpg

I was unhappy with my website for years because I didn't know how to express the truth of what I did. I'd been trying to create a tag line for years.

 After two sessions with Jess, I had brand new copy for my homepage that stated EXACTLY what I did and the power of my work. I had a tagline that I loved, and I'd even changed the name of my business. All this by way of a powerful process that got me deep into who I really am and the truth of my work.

“She brought my words to life and made them dance on paper.”

Profile Picture.jpg

Loved working with Jess. She brought my words to life and made them dance on paper. In our sessions, I would share a ton of information from my passions to my life lessons and then afterwards, she would edit and probe on my thinking to then create beautiful copy that flowed and communicated the impact of my work.

Also Jess asked the right questions when I got stuck in my thinking or didn't know where to go with a concept. She helped to release and unpin some of my inner thoughts to get them on paper in a creative and clear way. Very thankful for her ability to listen deeply and to connect in a very authentic way.

what i’m committed to:

Think of me as a doula for your words and creativity - supporting you emotionally and spiritually as you birth your most authentic voice out into the world, so that you can move forward and continue creating and reaching people in an aligned and effective way.

As your creative coach, I’m committed to:

  • Integrity with Your Brand Messaging & Positioning. I’ll ensure that the content we create stays aligned with your message. If more clarity on your message is needed, I’ll help you get there authentically and clearly. I’ll also ensure that the content is positioned to best connect with your ideal customer and encourage them to take the next desired action.

 

  • Strategic & Intuitive Coaching. Where needed, I will offer my strategic eye and intuitive sense to best support a successful creation and delivery of your content. With 10+ years of experience as a coach and copywriter, tens of thousands of dollars invested in training with experts in business and marketing fields, and the embodied approach to creativity and business that my dance experience has provided, you will be guided to bring out your most brilliant, authentic, and powerful version of your voice.  


  • Ethical and Justice-Informed Work. I consciously steer clear of manipulative, “bro marketing” type of tactics that feed on people’s fears and scarcity, and instead take a feminist approach that centers my clients’ and their customers’ humanity and integrity. My training in this area includes: Decolonize Your Business with Ber-Henda Williams, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Training with Melissa Carter, and a Feminist Copywriting Certification with Kelly Diels, as well as continued reading, listening, and learning outside of formal trainings. 

 

  • Producing Effective Copy & Content. And of course, you’ll walk away with written and video copy that ROCKS your business. I will be writing and creating from your voice, saving you hours of wasted time in front of a blank document or trying to piece together parts of the past. I look at writing in the same way I look at dance: a flow, a story, an expression of truth. And I’ll do everything possible to create that for you.


“I broke through old limiting beliefs that were holding me back.”

LordFamily-104-e1466420097730-281x300.jpg

In one clarity session with Jess I stepped into the safe space she opened up for me to freely share what means most to me about my work and message.  

I laughed, I cried, and I broke through old limiting beliefs that were holding me back from talking about how connected our bodies, and our health is to the environment.  

I'm so much more excited to put my fingers to the keys!!  I'm thrilled to have Jess at my side to help me get clear AND creative with my own writing and also create copy for upcoming events and programs.  Thanks Jess!

“…really helped me hone in, identify, and embrace my creative voice and share it.”

IamHanna-388_rt-web.jpg

I decided to work with Jess because I found myself really struggling as I started to pursue photography more full time.  I struggled with trusting myself and my unique voice and being secure enough in my work to really share that part of my creativity.

Throughout our sessions together, Jess really helped me hone in, identify and embrace my creative voice and to share it even when I felt like people might not like my ideas.

Jess helped me begin to find more and more clarity in who I am as an artist, who I actually want to work for, and how setting personal and professional boundaries really benefits everyone.

“…she ‘got me’ and who I am and then was able to get that across on paper.”

 It was amazing working with Jess. I just loved that she "got me" and who I am and then was able to get that across on paper.  

It was hard for me to put myself on a sales page, but she helped me do that really well. She took the time to hear what I needed and then very quickly produced it!

“…feels like a mini self care ritual to have Jess help me with copy.”

Jess has helped me multiple times with finding the right words to capture and then finesse for my own yoga and therapeutic offerings. It amazes me how it feels like a mini self care ritual to have Jess help me with copy. I always feel lighter and more aligned afterwards. Thank you Jess!
