About me
EMILY FEAREY
I won't bore you with an origin story—but, for the curious, I'll share a few details about my experience and philosophy.
I got my first writing job in 2012, drafting restaurant reviews and ad copy for local businesses at a small print magazine in Connecticut. ​I have since worked on projects for clients in countless industries and verticals: cybersecurity, retail, cosmetics, medical devices, digital healthcare, finance (the list goes on).
​
I find joy in learning the ins and outs of my clients' products and respective fields. "Know thy customer" is a commandment I live by. Speaking of commandments, "less is more." I'll leave it at that.

My process
HOW I WORK
My mission is to help brands create content that their audience reads and remembers. I do this by leveraging three tactics: Narrative, empathy, and psychology.
narrative
Humans are wired for storytelling. Your brand's story should be memorable: Just like any good book, it should have clear voice and a compelling arc.
empathy
You can't sell a product without understanding, deeply and intimately, the problems that it will solve for your customers. This is an emotional process—and those emotions should reflect in the marketing message.
psychology
What motivates us? What makes us behave the ways we behave? There's more to psychology-driven marketing than scarcity and social proof.
