And that decision is one she’s run with and has never looked back

17:50 – Why should brands be placing more importance on effective copywriting?
     – EVERYTHING is in words (in some way, shape, or form)!
     – “Words make up our world.”
     – If you can use your words more effectively, you can be more connected to the people around you and bring more attention to your brand
     – Effective copywriting brings storytelling center stage and enable personal attachment to a brand/company
     – No one wants to be preached to anymore
     – Effective copy tells a story that can push pain points and make people realize how using a specific product can change their life

21:49 – Why have standards of proofreading gone 50 miles off the reservation today?
     – Everyone has a voice thanks to social media. Unfortunately, many people spell very poorly
     – Overall grammar and punctuation is forgotten as people get older
     – Is voice technology trending towards completely replacing typing?
     – Since we are churning out tons of content, proofreading is the aspect of the process that people feel they can ignore. Content just needs to get out there, proofreading be damned
     – Proofreading is all about pride. Be proud enough of your brand to make sure your copy looks its best before it gets published
     – “The more errors you have in your copy, the cheaper your brand looks.”
