Shamelessly Human

Declare your Thought-provoking POV and master your messaging with a lot of help and a dash of AI.

WRITE YOUR BRAND STORY WORKSHOP, NOVEMBER 9 TO DECEMBER 13

You've felt the tremors, right? Those pesky algorithms and AI, they're like a digital tornado reshaping the landscape of business. So, what's your play in this fast-evolving game? It's time to harness your superpoweryour human-ness! 🦸‍

For creatives, coaches, and consultants who want to be known—and hired—for their thinking and what they stand for.

“Write my brand story?” you cackle as you hide behind your laptop. “I can barely write my grocery list.”

Does any of this sound familiar?

Do you stare at the blank screen when you’re trying to write about your biz?

Flashing cursor taunting you: now what? now what? now what?

You sound brilliant in your head.

But it sounds all gobbley-goop when it comes out on paper. Honestly, sometimes people have less of an idea of what you do after you try to explain.

You sound like everyone else.

You sound like all the other coaches or consultants, or accountants. But you have so much to offer.

You don’t even know where to begin.

You have so much to share: stories about the lives you’ve transformed, your expertise, your story—you keep going in circles.

You try to sound “professional.”

But then you realize those 4-syllable words don’t sound like you. And neither does that bro-preneur speak either?

You procrastinate.

You scrub the toilets, organize your closet, pay the bills, walk the dog, anything but move forward. (Having something to write is always the perfect excuse to clean the house, right?)

You’ve even tried using AI for your messaging.

But it doesn’t really sound like YOU, or YOUR business. Actually, it kinda sounds like a robot.

You’ve stalled.

You’ve put off that business, that launch, YOUR DREAMS, all because you lack confidence when it comes to your messaging. 

But guess what? Writing about your business can be a blast!

It can be easy once you know what to say.

You don't have to be a literary genius or a creative wizard.

What if:

  • We broke down the process into a series of shorter story blocks

  • Each block is just a paragraph or two, with a beginning, end and middle

  • You had frameworks for you to follow

  • You got a ton of feedback on your ideas

  • You learned to use AI as a creative sidekick

    You'd actually finish your brand story and have fresh messaging for the new year! 📚

Copywriting 101

Learn writing tips that will instantly improve all of your copywriting. 

How it works.

Learn on your schedule.

Shamelessly Human is taught in an online classroom where you can log into videos and worksheets on your own time according to your schedule.

Every few days, a new module will drop.

3 hours of live video office hours a week.

There will be two 90 minute live video sessions where you can get feedback on your work.

We’ll show up, share a screen and I’ll offer feedback and suggestions on your work.

Feedback on posted work

If you post your work in our online group, I will provide individualized feedback on your assignment.

This is a beta class.

This is a beta class, as I have recently added an AI component, so not all the content is matchy-matchy branding wise.

This is a GREAT time to take this class as it is 50% off what the course will be in the future. You’ll also gain access to the course!. You’ll receive access to any and all updates to this course.

AI is a creative tool.

The primary focus of this class is writing our brand story and our thought-provoking POV. If you’re looking for a course that focuses on writing with AI, this class may not be your jam. We’ll incorporate AI, but it won’t be the focus of the class. Just setting expectations here!

Hi, I'm Anne McColl, the Best D@mn Copywriter. I help brands tell stories that stick, because in a noisy, complicated world, #ClarityWins! I have 20 years of experience helping movements, businesses, and startups find the words + pictures to tell their stories. My mission: Banish B.S. (That stands for Business Speak.)

 I’ve taken everything that I’ve learned working with creative marketing firms and progressive brands and distilled it into a writing technique for non-writers. AI joins the party as a creative collaborator in the brainstorming process. I’ll be there every step of the way to offer support and suggestions that help you build your brand story. 

When I’m not surfing the Internet for work, I can be found surfing San Diego’s juicy waves (status: dork) or hiking with my family.

Answers to all of your questions.

What is your refund policy? You have 30 days to ask for a refund. You must show proof that you completed every assignment of StoryYourBrand course to qualify for a refund. 💡

When do I get access? You’ll get access to the videos and Facebook group. I’ll even start providing feedback on any work you post. The official first day of class is when office hours begin. The 30-day countdown begins then. 

What is my weekly time requirement? There is less than an hour of video every week. Most writing assignments are short. When we are working on hooks/headlines, my most successful students took 2 or 3 rounds to nail it. (I’m giving feedback and making suggestions along the way.) The students who attend at least one office hour a week have the best success.

Are there any extra costs involved? Nope. It’s just you, your laptop or tablet, and your amazing, creative brain. 💰
