Amata Life by Dr. Christiane Northrup
Christy took on a project that needed to bridge the sometime conflicting issues of selling and being FDA compliant.
She did a masterful job in doing so, and in the process delivered compelling copy that sold.
Always respectful of our comments, she was thorough and efficient in interpreting our needs while keeping her eye on the goal, which was to sell product. Great job!
Doubled Click Rates
Christy brought our email messaging to life. She helped us double our click rates, grow our open rates from roughly 15% to 21%, and played a key role in our revenue growth from email marketing. She has a gift in her ability to deeply understand consumer audiences and deliver a voice that is consistently on-brand, relevant and compelling.
Knowledgeable & Sharp Writer
Christy is great to work with. When we worked with her, we were starting to dive more into longer-form story-telling and sales copy, and needed someone to help us get started down that path.
If that’s also you, Christy is who you need to be working with.
She helped lead the email and web copy for several new product launches of ours, including two of our top-performing product launches ever which was awesome!
She delivered copy that was persuasive and it was clear she had done her research on not only our product, but also our audience.
Improved Results
Christy is skilled at delivering the big idea to different customer segments, creating engaging content that converts and moves leads down the funnel.
Through extensive email split testing, she analyzed and applied what worked to improve response rates—instrumental in increasing revenue and enrollments.
A Unique Talent
With too many copywriters caring about “cute” over context, Christy is a unique talent.
She combines REAL marketing savvy with a sensitivity to client tone AND magazine context. Delivering branded content that is brand-right, informative and entertaining.
Excellent Writer and Strategic Thinker
I was Christy’s editor at HNW for nearly three years, during which time she handled range of marketing communications projects for top wealth management firms and charitable organizations.
In addition to being an excellent writer and editor, Christy is a strategic thinker and creative problem solver who garners the respect of her clients and colleagues. She is a pleasure to work with and a valuable member of any team.

Creative and Resourceful
I’ve worked with Christy for several years and it has been quite a pleasure. Being on the creative side, it has been great to collaborate with her from response driven headlines to complete content development on marketing collateral.
She is knowledgeable in many areas and has been a great resourceful team member when developing new creative material.
She brings an upbeat attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make sure your project is successful.
Outstanding
Christy is diligent, knowledgeable and dependable, an outstanding resource.

Trusted Resource
Hiring Christy was a no-brainer after learning about her results. She carefully listens to my goals and then crafts copy to help me achieve them.
It’s a far cry from cookie-cutter copywriters who have simply plugged my message into a template with little effort.
That’s NOT what you get with Christy, and why it makes it so easy for me to refer her to clients and friends.
Incredible Work
My business partner, at the time, and I hired Christy to write and edit the content on our website.
I had known Christy from our Toastmasters group and had been impressed with her leadership skills, her intelligence, creativity and her professionalism. She is a joy to work with and to know.
Christy did an incredible job: understanding our business and marketing our brand. If you need a copywriter for your marketing materials, hire Christy.
Smart and Efficient
I love to write but have a hard time sitting down to do it. Christy makes it seem so easy. She is friendly and smart and efficient, and turns things around quickly.
I recommend her if you want someone to help you get over writers block, or if you want help writing articles, blog posts, or longer articles. She is really a joy to work with!
Smart Collaborator
Christy was one of my editors at HNW. We worked together on a wide variety of assignments, and she was a great editor who did an excellent job helping to plot out articles and make them as good as they could be.
She also was a pleasure to work with every time–very nice, smart, collaborative and full of good ideas.
Consistent, Effective Storytelling
I needed copy for my new website, and I was having trouble getting my thoughts organized and focused. Christy’s copywriting method worked really well. It’s easy and fun to work with her.
From the first conversation, her guidance and advice inspired confidence. And the copy was in my voice, consistent with the tone and culture of my company. It saved me time, money and headaches, and the project was complete!
Websites
Whether you need a refreshed promotion to boost sales, or a complete overhaul of your marketing, I am your brand advocate as your strategic copywriter and marketing consultant.
Research
The first step in any engagement is for me to listen deeply to what my client wants—not just in what they say, but how they say it, and what they don’t say. I look at the materials they already have and apply what I know about my specialization to deliver what they need.
Big idea
While different media channels require different copy solutions, the principles of good marketing remain the same—one big idea that provides value, and one solid offer delivered to one specific audience.
Storytelling
My background spans from journalism to web project management to corporate marketing communications and online marketing. I understand how content and copy build upon each other, and that using both creates a stronger foundation.
Refinement
The best way to know if your marketing is working is to track, test and refine it. I use my direct response training and online marketing experience to help businesses set up metrics and use variations to determine what’s working.
