đź‘‹ Meet Lois McKenzie
----------------------
Lois is a creative copywriter and passionate storyteller, based in Costa Rica. With over a decade of experience writing advertising and sales copy for everyone from unicorn startups to bestselling authors. As the founder of Copy Club, a private member's lounge for thought leaders, Lois helps entrepreneurs and writers own their voice and lean into the utterly human potential of storytelling to create impactful marketing that builds communities, feels like art & sells like hot cakes.
While Lois spends much of her time supporting her clients in uncovering their boldest marketing messages, she's even more obsessed with the art of writing itself. She believes that the key to creating truly resonant marketing lies in embracing a creative, disciplined approach to the written word, and that being a skilled and persuasive writer is essential for long-term success in marketing today.
Lois's unique approach to copywriting is rooted in her love for storytelling, which she discovered at a young age surrounded by her mother's overflowing bookshelves. She understands that the way we connect with others' stories and express our own informs the quality and impact of the copy we create – for our businesses and our communities.
Through her sold-out creative copywriting course, Sweet Talk, her transformative women's writing retreat in Costa Rica, and her copywriting workshops, Lois empowers writers and entrepreneurs to put the art back in marketing, one story at a time.
