What’s Your Deal, Kate Hollis?
Conversion copywriter to thought leaders and status quo challengers of the online business world.
It’s a pretty good deal, actually.
Hey, I’m Kate!
I'm going to skip the formal professional bio, because let's be real -- I'm too much of a goofball to have a profile written in the third person.
… I save that for when I’m impersonating The Hulk.
(Kate write. Kate SMASH!)
For real, though, the only things I’m smashing on the regular these days are breakfast sandwiches and copy projects for my brilliant clients.
I won’t say that I’m anti-niche – because nerding out about quizzes and email segmentation is my thang – but I’ve never really resonated with the whole “Ideal customer avatar” concept.
