It happens faster than you can think. Quite literally... Before your conscious mind has had the chance to process the information in front of you, your subconscious has already made its calculations. In fact, cognitive scientists say ~95% of our behaviour, emotion, decision-making (and more) depend on brain activity beyond our conscious awareness. 95%! In other words, we're basically running on auto-pilot but use some convincing post-rationalisations to justify our actions... And in over 200,000 years, that's not really changed. We were (and still are) guided by behavioural principles and evolutionary instincts we're not aware of. The outcomes are different, yes - we're not fighting for survival anymore - but the drivers are still very much the same. And once you know what they are (and how to tap into them) influencing behaviour becomes a whole lot easier. You can do it in person, over the phone, online, in writing - it doesn't matter. It all works the same way. And you need it. Just like every other business. How are you going to generate leads... make sales... impress investors... grow your customer base... without it? Winning others to your way of thinking isn't a "nice-to-have". It's a must-have. Especially when it's paired with a product or service that your market is worse off without. In the written realm, the world of copywriting, you need to convince your reader that your product or service is worth the money they're about to pay for it. And, in essence, that's all persuasion is. Showing how good what you have is - and how bad it'll be without it. Push. Pull. Push. Pull. And any copywriter - heck *anyone* - can use that... But the devil is in the details. Just stating facts is too overt. Too obvious. (Think, when was the last time you bought something, knowing you were being persuaded?) Instead, you need to be subtle. Compelling. And slip in under the radar. You need to make your reader feel like they're making this decision themselves. And that's not something just "anyone" can do. Over 70 businesses across the UK have used me to help them win their market to their way of thinking. And I've done so through websites, landing pages, sales pages, emails and social media ads.

I launched my agency Magic Word Media Ltd (magicwordmedia.com) after enjoying ten years leading the copywriting and owned media teams for one of the world's largest gaming companies, The Stars Group. Before that, I was a national newspaper journalist, news editing Britain's most prominent newspapers including The Sun and Sunday Express. As the poet Pearl Strachan Hurd wrote: "Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs." I am paid by my clients (nationally as well as in my home town of Ipswich in Suffolk) to take this burden of responsibility from their shoulders. It's an expression of trust that I never take lightly. It's not all work and no play, though. In 2015 I founded and still write the Suffolk Gazette (suffolkgazette.com), one of Britain's most-read satirical and spoof news websites. It's a fun diversion and raises a lot of smiles, as more than 3.5 million readers will confirm.
