Give me the strange brief. The skeptical audience. The page everyone clicks but nobody finishes. I find the human truth first, then the words that make something happen.

hey
i had you down for that repair but didn't see anything come through
hopefully you took care of it already...
we had 5 people this week have to come back in and pay $1,500 to fix something that should have only cost $150
no pressure or anything... we just wanted to save you the headache
The Thinking
No logo, no caps, no hard sell. It reads like your service advisor texted you, with one very specific reason to act.
lowercase on purpose.
Dear [Parent],
When someone you love is coming home for Christmas, the preparations begin long before they arrive.
You make room at the table. You put fresh sheets on the bed. Perhaps you leave a porch light glowing.
Before a word is spoken, that little light says something wonderful.
We've been waiting for you.
The Thinking
Start with a ritual every parent knows. Make them feel it before the school says a word about itself.
the porch light does the selling.
Good copy sounds like whoever's talking. A university, a service advisor, or a crew that lives for burnouts.
There are people students learn about. And then there are people they get to meet.
Then Steve Wozniak walks in. Not on a screen. Not in a documentary. In the room.
parents, quiet and proud.

sounds like a text from your mechanic.
TORQnado alert. Category 800.
Hear that? It's not thunder.
Meteorologists can't track it. Farmers can't stop it. And if you're smart, you won't hide from it. You'll drive straight into the eye.
Come tired. Leave wired.
same writer. different decibels.
01
I'll tighten my own drafts and everyone else's. Half the job is cutting, and I like that half.
02
I've run campaign teams of about 10: designers, editors, producers. I write for the frame, not just the page.
03
Amex and Humana are regulated. I write lines that survive review without losing their pulse.
I start by finding what everyone in a category says, then the truth nobody's saying. The line comes from there.
What the category says
The missing angle
they don't doubt the degree. they doubt they'll finish.
The line
What the category says
The missing angle
nobody shops for a plan. they just let it renew.
The line

The missing angle
every bank says it. nobody believes it.
The line
Send me the brief you'd give any senior writer on your team. I'll send back three directions and tell you which one I'd run, and why.
yes, that's actually me.
I'm CJ. I got into Disney as a script analyst, picked for a fellowship out of 5,000 applicants with a two-year degree and a lot of nerve. That's where I learned every line has a job.
Fifteen years later I write emails, ads, scripts and pages for brands like American Express and High Point University. Same rule: if a line doesn't earn its place, it goes.
Yes, I use AI. It helps me research faster and test more versions. The thinking and the final words are mine.
On the side, I write The Missing Angle, a LinkedIn series comparing what brands say in their ads with what their customers actually say.
Disney → Poptent → Digital Remedy → High Point → ClickFunnels
