Why readers love That’s Punchy!
“I love Emma’s phrasing examples. As a creative person, I need to see examples of word choice and sentence construction to generate ideas for my own work. The notion that great artists steal and then reconfigure and reimagine to make it their own is exactly it. I keep all of the newsletters for exactly this purpose.”
Natalie Burg
Product Marketing Manager, Column Software PBC

Caitlyn Wynn

“Our small (but mighty!) marketing team all signed up for the newsletter a few months ago, and we LOVE it! We’ve just rolled out a new campaign, and used Emma’s tips to go bigger on benefits, and less is more on everything else – with great results! Thank you!”
Timo Nieuwoudt
Head of Marketing, Digistorm
“I can’t get enough of Emma Stratton. As a Creative Lead, I often utilize the observances and tips to keep the work I do customer facing in the most powerful way possible.”
Timothy Jones
Creative Director, Serta Simmons Bedding
“Emma’s content never fails to make me feel SEEN. I’ve shared so much of her wisdom in our team’s Slack. There are only two email newsletters I stay subscribed to, and Punchy is one of them. If you’re in B2B tech and you have anything to do with messaging or positioning, you need to sign up. Whether you’re in leadership, marketing, sales, sales dev, product, or another area—regularly reading Emma’s content is one of the best ways to make sure you’re continually upping your game.”
Meagan Campbell

Amelie Winkler
Product Marketing Manager,
App Fire
“The insight that Emma provides is gold! I have implemented nearly every thought into our newly proposed messaging blueprint.”
Eric Holland
Sales Enablement Manager, LucidLink
“Emma does a great job at nailing simplicity and authenticity. If you cant explain something simple terms, it’s fluff and shows you’re either hiding something or you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. I really appreciate Emma’s take on getting that message across as well as highlighting our unique experience as an asset.”
Montse de la Garma
Communications Manager,
Digital NEST

Alfie Gardner
Product Marketing Manager, HowNow
“Emma helps people write copy that’s real, relevant and, yes … punchy. Because of her newsletter, I’ve got tools that help me use less jargon, rely less on filler words and do away with my nagging need to use the passive voice. TYSM. ”
Luke Reynebeau
VP of Marketing, Sales Assembly
“I love Emma’s newsletter and her insights on LinkedIn. In particular, Emma’s insights have consistently challenged and helped me to ditch the jargon despite working in a complex B2B healthtech setting.”
Louisa Ive
Senior Product Marketing Manager, Patchwork
“Emma’s newsletter is the highlight of my inbox. I have 10 years of messaging experience and still I learn a new tip every single time I read it. It’s the most reliable source of actionable messaging and positioning strategy insights I’ve come across. Absolutely well done!”
