You Don’t Have a Messaging Problem. You Have a Muffled Ear.
Still stuck in a room full of whiteboards and “What if we tried THIS?” energy? We love a brainstorm sesh as much as the next caffeine-fueled strategist. But let’s be real: if your campaign is built on vibes and vibes alone, you’re probably missing the mark.
Because while your team is debating which stock image feels more “relatable,” your audience is literally handing you the brief—in support chats, sales calls, demos, DMs, and comment threads. You just need to shut up and listen.
Let’s repeat that one more time, with feeling:
Your best-performing content isn’t waiting in a Google Doc. It’s hiding in plain sight.
Whether you’re a B2B brand with a sales cycle longer than a Netflix reboot, or a B2C biz slinging product in TikTok time—your audience is already doing the heavy lifting
Real Talk Beats Roundtables
You’re out here sourcing “insights” from competitor ads, Reddit threads and ChatGPT prompts.
But your best copy? Your sharpest hook?
It’s sitting in:
- A demo call transcript.
- A confused customer email.
- A Slack thread from your CX lead.
- A one-star review that hits a little too close to home.
That’s not friction.
That’s a funnel waiting to happen.
The Inbox Is Your Brief
Support tickets aren’t complaints. They’re conversion cues.
Sales objections aren’t hurdles. They’re headlines.
Let’s rewrite your next creative sprint:
- “Do I need to be technical to use this?” → Landing page copy.
- “This sounds great, but will my team actually adopt it?” → LinkedIn carousel.
- “Can I mix this with my vitamin D drops?” → Product label clarification + ad campaign.
Every typo-filled question is a moment of hesitation—and every hesitation is an opportunity to earn trust, spark clarity, and close faster.
Not sitting on 500 support chats? Fine.
Start with five. Five real questions. Five “Hey, quick thing…” moments. Five reasons someone almost didn’t buy, book, click, or commit.
Those five are your holy grail.
Document them. Quote them. Build from them.
B2B, B2C—You’re Both Guilty
Let’s get specific: B2B brands are often the worst offenders.
You’re chasing thought leadership while your audience is just trying to figure out if your platform integrates with Salesforce or will this save me time without making my team hate me?
Your sales reps and customer service people are sitting on gold. Pull those insights into the content room.
And please—stop writing in buzzwords. You’re not “redefining agility in vertical SaaS.” You’re helping a human solve a real problem. Say that.
B2C? Same Rules. Faster Pace.
Your customer asked, “Is this kid-safe?”
You responded with: “Clinically-backed, dermatologist-developed, made for the whole family.”
Cool. But… you never said yes.
In B2C, clarity converts. And the closer you get to your audience’s actual language, the faster you build trust—and sales.
LeftTurn’s Rule: If They Said It, Use It.
You don’t need to “find your brand voice.”
You need to borrow theirs. That’s where the magic is. That’s where the resonance lives.
Every successful campaign started with a simple pivot:
From “What should we say?”
To “What have they already told us?”
Listening is the New Creative Director
- Skip the brainstorm.
- Open the inbox.
- Document the friction.
- Build from real words, not whiteboard wishes.
You can fake urgency. You can A/B test headlines.
But you can’t fake alignment. And alignment?
That comes from listening louder than your competitors do.
Your audience is talking. Your support chats, sales calls, inbox replies, post-webinar polls and Insta DMs are overflowing. Are you building from that?
If not—you’re not building for your audience.
You’re building for yourself.
So stop guessing. Start listening. Then let’s build from the gold they’re already giving you.
We’ll help you turn questions into copy, friction into funnels, and customer chaos into content that actually converts.
Let’s make your audience the brief.
