Beth Voegtli at New Honor Society in St. Louis is on the hunt for a copywriter. From Beth: “Some brands are better at knowing their consumers than knowing themselves. We want to change that. When you find your brand’s calling, and live it every day, you attract a following of likeminded people, and the brand becomes the target. It’s not just about promises, persuasions and incentives. It’s about meaningful ties between brands that have a purpose, and the people who want in. We call it Less Sell, More Soul.” How cool is that?
