Ah, talking about how to write high-converting copy.
I told Davey, that if I could pick a brother I didn’t get when I came out of the womb—a brother in this industry, or a twin I didn’t get when I was birthed into the creative world—I felt like it would be him.
Is that weird?
Probably, but I don’t care. He’s just as nerdy about the tech behind funnels and online marketing in the wedding industry as I am.
Getting to meet Krista and Davey Jones was one of my highlights at the Creative at Heart conference last year, mostly because I’ve looked up to their marriage, their intellect, and their reputation in the creative industry since before I left my corporate gig.
