4: Ethics & Copywriting — aka "The Marketing Ick" (with Cleoniki Kesidis)
The marketing ick — we all suffer from it from time to time (yes, even a couple of well seasoned copywriters). For Nicole, the ick caused her to actually quit copywriting for a few years. She likes to think she came back better for it, but the truth is that ethical marketing requires constant check-ins.
That's part of what fellow copywriter Cleoniki Kesidis and Nicole get into on this episode.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why we feel so icky about marketing (and how you can do it anyway).
A very (very) brief historical overview of marketing as we know it today (and why the mad men of all mad men might have been right about a few things?)
Some marketing practices you should 100% avoid if you want long-term growth.
