“Justin is an incredibly devoted teacher of voice. His generosity is out of this world “
A Process You Can Sell Again And Again…
“In less than five months, I’ve sold THREE brand voice guides at rates I’m happy with. The way they teach how to position them has made selling it a no-brainer. And the best part is… I finally have an offer that’s not deeply tiring, so my workload has balanced out. Plus, Justin is so generous with his time, process, and knowledge. Highly recommend! “
Get Paid To Learn Your Clients’ Voice
This process shows you how to document, codify, and scale any client’s writing style so you can create better copy and package your research as a product you can sell… with one-on-one support and all the guidance you could ever ask for.
“I sold my first super short voice guide (a 5-pager) to a client for $3,200. I documented their voice as I went through the program and sold it to them with the one simple question Justin taught us to ask. The whole thing took 5 hours and it changed their entire content process.
They couldn’t thank me enough!”
Brand Voice Visionary Changes Your Future
Make clients feel seen, create new offers, and uncover every secret to overcoming clients’ number one objection when hiring new copywriters.
NOW INCLUDES WRITE LIKE ANYONE & VOICE GUIDE CREATOR
“Brand Voice Visionary truly provided the missing piece in my copywriting arsenal.
Learning the 9 Voice Types from Justin gave me the edge to close much higher projects faster and deliver projects with a much more refined style. If you want to close high 4- and 5-figure projects without breaking a sweat, and you’ve already taken all the copy courses on the market, give yourself the gift of mastering brand voice inside BVV. Your clients (and your bank account) will thank you.“

“Brand Voice Visionary really opened my eyes to those little intricacies of voice that most writers don’t see.
I have gone through the course three times already and I’m still learning.”
“Justin is my voice-Yoda.
As a personal brand copywriter, I’d found plenty of mentors for conversion copy – but there was one piece missing in my skillset that always evaded me: VOICE.
When I found Justin, sing the angels did. I mentored under him to study voice and learn about his sought-after Brand Ventriloquist voice guides. The confidence I found in defining my own voice and having a process to define my clients’ voices helped me grow my business at force speed.
I’ve closed $350K+ in revenue over the past 12 months because I’m one of very few copywriters who understand personal brand voice.”
Brand Voice Visionary Is A 7-Week Mentorship In Everything Voice
You’ll be taken under our wing and shown everything we know about voice. You’ll see what happens behind the curtain of copy teams, hear what’s working for other BVV students and alumni, and get personal instruction on how to incorporate brand voice services into your existing offers.
No two students are identical and we’ll customize the program to fit your needs, your style, your brand, and your goals.
BVV includes one-on-one guidance from Justin and guest experts where you can ask us anything and we’ll help you close your first deal and deliver your first project… so you truly stand out from the copywriter competition.
SPECIAL BONUS!
Upon completion of BVV and your calls, you’ll receive a special Brand Voice Academy Expert Certification Badge.
You’ll also join our private short list for job leads, project referrals, recommendations, and partnerships.
While we can’t guarantee additional work, BVV grads are the only people we recommend for jobs.
“I’ve already created 3 guides and my clients have been astonished at how true to their voice and values it felt… Justin is a fantastic teacher – incredibly giving of his time and his experience. There were no questions he wouldn’t answer – he allowed us to pick his brains on strategy, pricing, how to increase value, and how to find clients. If you’re on the fence about taking this course – do it! You won’t regret it.”
