For years, I dreamed of breaking into the advertising industry.

My goal was to cut my young copywriter teeth at well-known agencies, work my way up, and eventually become a creative director.

I was on step number two—working my way up—when I realized that ladder wasn’t one I wanted to climb.

Instead, the work I was clamoring for was the purpose-driven kind. When a small business or nonprofit would ask the agency to donate time, I was first to raise my hand. Creating smart, beautiful work for passionate people was what I loved most. So I planned and plotted and eventually, I leaped. Right off my carefully constructed ladder. 

Today, the mission of A Cup of Copy is to create great work for great people doing great things in the world.

Why? Because more than anything, I believe words matter and that the stories we tell make all the difference. Let’s work together to make sure your copy is working as hard as it can for your business, nonprofit or cause.

Shall we?
