I have Samantha Pollack with me today and we are talking about a new marketing paradigm rooted in honesty, kindness, and slowing the fuck down—while making (and paying) sustainable wages as well as how you can be not just a writer but a copywriter too. Samantha Pollack is a Positioning Strategist & Copywriter who creates powerful brand personalities and compelling marketing copy for service providers, creatives, BIPOC women, AuDHD folks, activists, queers, weirdos, and other smart people. She’s known for her ability to truly capture her clients' voice—and craft messaging that makes THEIR clients feel seen, safe, and excited AF to get to work.

Since this podcast episode was recorded Samantha has put together the copy workshop she talked about creating, it’s called The Craft and you can learn more about it here. Noteworthy quote from this episode: “So, for a long time, I was really focused on growing my Instagram following, which I think for me as a copywriter is like, eh, as far as results. But for authors, it's really important because publishing companies look at that specifically, even though secretly, I think it doesn't really fucking matter because just because you have 10,000 Instagram followers, that does not mean you're going to sell 10,000 books.” - Samantha Pollack 1.
