THEY DON'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
The brands that successfully capture (and hold) your attention have a certain je ne sais quoi.
✔ They speak your language.
✔ They make you want to dive in and learn more.
✔ They delight you in spite of yourself.
✔ They make buying from them feel like a no-brainer.
And they do all of this with intention.
STOP WINGING IT AND WAITING FOR YOUR BRAND'S BIG BREAKTHROUGH.
Your ideal customers aren't behaving the way you'd like?
It's time to reevaluate your strategy.
DON'T LET SLACK-SPINED VALUE PROPOSITIONS AND AMATEUR COPY KILL YOUR CONVERSIONS
If you want to bolster your bottom line and win the battle for customers' attention, trust, devotion, and hard-earned $$$, you must (at every single touchpoint):
✔ make your dream clients and customers feel deeply understood
✔ convince them that you're uniquely equipped to solve their problems and fulfill their desires
✔ persuade them to take action
✔ keep them coming back for more (and gushing about your brand/offering)
A quality product/service is important.
An enticing offer is important.
Good design is important.
But it's all for naught if your messaging misses the mark.
I'm Katharine Menick — branding, growth, and communication strategist + conversion copywriter.
When it comes to branding and marketing, I help transform uncertainty into clarity and paralysis into prosperity.
How? By using the power of language to bridge the gap between what you want to say and what your audience needs to hear.
The result? Thoughtfully crafted, cohesive brand messaging and persuasive, high-selling words that command attention and move the needle (without sacrificing your dignity or integrity). No slimy sales pitches here!
HOW I CAN HELP
clarify your message + connect with your audience + grow your brand
Pinpointing what's uniquely valuable about your business or your product can be difficult. Figuring out how to convey this value in words?
No more hopelessly staring at a blank page.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
about their experience with The Brand Standard
Part copywriting big gun, part business strategist, part branding ace, part marketing wiz — Katharine is a rare find who brings mastery, excellence, and heart to everything she touches.
Though I initially hired her for a single project, I went on to make Katharine a key part of my team.
I never feel like Katharine is "just a consultant" because she’s truly invested in my success and goes beyond her scope of work to provide valuable insight across my business as a whole.
At every turn, she’s demonstrated trustworthiness, confidence, experience, and value beyond my expectations.
RODNEY FLOWERS
Best-Selling Author, Keynote Speaker & Coach
After engaging numerous copywriters to help with my charity’s marketing materials, I was left disappointed by their unreliability and utter lack of follow-through. A lot of time and energy was wasted for little to no return.
Then I met Katharine. From our first chat, I was impressed by her enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and insightful suggestions. When I realized that she's also skilled in strategy, design, and branding, the original project quickly expanded and blossomed.
Katharine jumps right in wherever her client is and helps them move forward fast. If that’s what you’re looking for, hire her.
JUDY WALKER
Principal - Judy Walker Group & Golden Rule Charity
My industry is highly specialized, technical, and nuanced. Frankly, it can be tough for a layperson to understand, let alone speak on.
Katharine truly goes the extra mile to learn about your industry, your brand, and your target audience to get you results.
With Katharine’s expertise in my corner, I can focus on what I'm really good at — running my company and serving my clients.
Copywriting and communications strategy? I leave it to Katharine, and I heartily recommend that other business owners who want to save their sanity and make more $$$ do the same.
PAUL HWANG
CEO & Founder - The Filo Group
Katharine was initially hired to strategize and manage our company’s most substantial annual marketing and public relations campaign.
Her fresh ideas, attention to detail, adaptability, and relentless follow-up resulted in our most successful campaign to date with a 20% increase in engagement, a 6% increase in new leads, and major media pickups by CNBC and Politico.
She also made great headway on our email marketing to help us engage new customers and re-engage existing ones.
Only 5 months into sending Katharine's nurture campaign emails, we've already beaten the entire previous year's conversion rate by 4%. After her rewrite/redesign of our refer-a-friend campaign’s landing page and email series, month-over-month referrals jumped by 82%.
