A. People do not buy goods and services.

B. They buy relationships, stories, and magic.



Richard believes it is his job to create a little magic for a brand, to craft a narrative that creates a mental image that differentiates your brand from your competitors and forges a relationship between a product or service with a customer.

Many brands, big and small alike, fall short when it comes to telling their story in a manner that provides consumers with a decision-making-shortcut—choosing their product or service over the competition.

Before I write about what a product does, or what its made of, or what it costs…I write about how it will make the customer feel or improve his or her life. I help your brand evoke emotions, memories and personal context.
