Copywriting Services: Are you ready to amplify your brand for maximum visibility? You might feel stuck and don’t know where to start when it comes to writing. I get it. Writing can be tricky! There is much psychology that goes into the wording and written copy, which eventually persuades readers to convert by taking the desired action — be it purchasing your product, signing up for your content or tuning in to what else you have to offer. It takes a trained professional to understand it all and how to weave words that inspire curiosity, establish credibility or authority and provide the social proof that ultimately engages the customer, leaving them wanting more. This is where Jamila comes into the mix! As a communications manager with expert content and sales writing skills, she can help you connect and convert your ideal audiences effectively.

“Jamila was an integral part of our successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Bohten5 collection. As a consultant for our brand, she helped us structure our promotional campaign messages to our fan base and beyond. I am happy with her services because she went above and beyond to ensure that we had a successful campaign. To cap off the project, she also landed us a CBC news article which was a very big deal. I would recommend her as a pivotal part of any marketing and public relations team to help your company reach its full potential.”
