When your brand voice is fake, you will attract clients who turn their back on you.

Inauthentic brand voices attract inauthentic relationships.

The wrong clients. The wrong investors. The wrong audience.

People who don’t renew, don’t refer, and don’t believe in what you’re building.

I’m not judging you. I’ve been there too.

You have investors to please. C-suites to make happy. But what about your brand’s authenticity?

Let's Talk

If your brand voice is fake, your audience can feel it.

When people don’t trust your message, they won’t trust your brand.

People won’t buy from you if they do not trust you.

You’ve got something real to offer, but your copy doesn’t reflect it.

Your copy is safe but it does not resonate with your target audience.

Your messaging makes internal stakeholders feel safe, but that won’t make your audience trust you.

Why?

Because fake and safe copy is just barely good enough. And that does not make your audience feel seen, heard, or validated.

Stop trying to please everyone.

All you really need to do is create a brand voice that is so authentic that it becomes a magnet to those who are meant for your brand.

Let's Go!

Hi, I’m Jessica Layne, I do brand voice, messaging strategy, content management, and copy.

Did you know you’re allowed to break the mold and try something different?

I’ve been ghost writing for businesses, brands, and companies since 2012. And I want to help you make your brand voice so authentically you, it acts like a magnet to your target audience. That is what resonance looks like in marketing.

That is how you future proof your biz.

Authenticity is not for the weak. It’s for the teams and people who want to cash in on their own uniqueness. Authenticity is one of the greatest money makers there is. The problem I see, most companies are too scared to even try. So they keep doing the same thing over and over again, hoping for a better result.

Here’s how I do those things for brands:

I specialize in decoding the authenticity of a brand and translating it into emotionally resonate copy that moves people to act You know, like converting and spending money.

Whether you need a full brand voice audit, messaging strategy, conversion-optimized web copy, or a creative lead who can own the voice across every touchpoint—I bring strategic insight and intuitive precision to every project.

Once we have your copy in a great place, we’ll move onto content strategy and content management.

My core offerings:

Senior Copywriter + SEO

Think of me as the ghostwriter for all the words your brand uses online. I write copy and lead messaging strategy across channels, guide other writers, collaborate with designers, and ensure your brand voice stays consistent everywhere. I’ll also collab with your SEO partner.

PS part of my job is staying up to date on SEO best practices.

Content Strategy & Content Management

How many copy and content projects have you been putting on hold because you’re overwhelmed? Don’t worry, that’s where come in. I can take one Q&A consultation call you had with a client and turn it into: blogs, newsletters, social media posts, thought leader content, and video & podcast scripts. That’s how you work smarter, not harder. I can also build out a content posting schedule so your audiences KNOWS you are a leader in your industry.

Messaging Strategy & Alignment

I help brands find their most authentic voice so their copy acts like a magnet to their target audience. You tell me how you want your audience to feel and act, and I write the copy that converts looky-loos into loyal customers. I’m also highly skilled at creating style guides, messaging frameworks, and brand pillars.

AI + ChatGPT

If you’re tired of sounding like everybody else and you’re done yelling at ChatGPT to write better copy, maybe it’s time for a power dynamic contract.

I create customized power dynamic contracts and feed those directly into ChatGPT. I tell the machine the role it plays, the role I play, and how I want it to create copy, content, and strategy.

Then I feed your messaging guide (if you don’t have one I’ll create one for your team) through ChatGPT so it knows exactly how you want your brand to sound.

Social Media Consulting

I will roast your social media channels and give you direction on where to take your content next.

How I function within your marketing agency or in-house team:

Put me in coach, I’m ready to play on your team! I am a leader, creative power house, and team collaborator.

I love co-creating with leadership, creatives, designers, directors, SEO experts, and subject matter experts.

How to work with me:

FULL-TIME #1 GOAL RIGHT NOW

I’m available for hire full-time. I’m based out of Austin, TX but I can do my work from anywhere. I thrive in remote first environments but am happy to meet the team in person for events, strategy sessions, or as needed.

Job titles that would be a good fit for me: Content Strategist/Manager, Creative Director of Copy, Brand Director, or some other cool title that we co-create together.

Let’s discuss a 6-figure salary and bonus structure for bringing me on board to your team full-time.

Galactic Brand Voice Audit (G-BVA) - My IP

I’m happy to bring my IP (intellectual property) called The Galactic Brand Voice Audit with me to your team. The G-BVA starts at $8,888 and takes about 2 weeks to complete.

However, if I brought it with me as your full-time employee the cost for me to run the G-BVA for your brand voice would be covered by my annual salary. We could even team up and sell that offering to third parties and make some money together!

My proprietary audit blends intuition and strategy to reveal which archetypes are speaking loudly (and which are suppressed), so your message can land with more power and purpose. This audit delivers a 60 page report that outlines what is working, what is not, and how to move forward.
