Marcus T.
Direct Response Copywriter | Scroll-Stopping Copy for DTC & B2C Brands
Let's be frank: most copywriters on this platform couldn't sell a bag of sand to a sheikh. Not because they're bad. They just haven't clocked who they're actually up against. In 2026, your copy isn't competing with other brands anymore... It's competing with TikTok. Reels. A bottomless pit of quick-hit entertainment engineered by the smartest people alive to be more interesting than you. Your buyer's thumb has been trained like a drunk slot-machine addict in Vegas. Swipe, hit, swipe, hit, repeat. They'll discard a boring sentence in less time than it takes to blink - and they don't feel bad about it, because there's an AI dancing dog in pyjamas waiting for them next. That's the arena now. Your ads. Your emails. Your sales pages - all of it shoved into the same two inches of glass, fighting a literal dopamine casino for 0.2 seconds of human attention. Most copywriters try to out-entertain that feed. You can't. Nobody can. The only way out? Crafting a sales message so scarily accurate to their most burning problems, it’s impossible to ignore. This is what I specialise in. And I’ve made $10M+ in attributed revenue doing it. ✔️ I mine the deep nooks and crannies your buyers vent in - reviews, comments, forums, the threads they think no one else is reading. ✔️ I dig out the 2am confessions they'd never even reveal to their friends, and aim them straight back. ✔️ I find the angle already buried in feedback your team's too slammed to read, and build the whole hook around it. ✔️ And I hunt down the hidden angles already printing money in your market - then build yours off what's proven to stop thumbs, not what sounds clever. Your customers wrote your best copy years ago. I just go in and extract it. Here’s what I help with specifically: ✔️ Cold traffic funnels - ads, advertorials, sales pages ✔️ Email retention - flow buildouts, email opt-in forms, and ongoing campaigns ✔️ Landing page & Website copy ✔️ VSL copy ✔️ Full-stack creative strategy I mostly work with D2C & B2C brands (but my methods also work well for B2B). How do we start? It isn’t a 45-minute "discovery call" at 5:45pm on a Friday. Send me a page, an email, an ad, anything. I'll tear it apart for free and show you exactly what’s leaking. Worst case, you get a brutal second opinion that costs you nothing. If your copy's already beating TikTok for attention, godspeed. If not, send me a message and let’s chat. Marcus
