Hi, I’m scott Houghton

As a father of two young girls, I understand the power of authentic connection. Whether I'm introducing my daughters to the joy of reading (a passion I believe can change the world), playing a round of disc golf, or admittedly getting caught up in the latest reality TV drama (ask me about Survivor), I've learned that genuine human connection starts with honest communication.

This belief in authentic connection took root during my college years studying rhetoric. While others saw abstract theories, I discovered timeless principles for meaningful communication. That foundation sparked my journey into professional writing, where I help brands discover their authentic voice and create genuine connections with their audiences.

Today, I transform brand voices across industries. From getting podcasts off the ground to boosting SaaS platforms' bottom lines, I've refined an approach that goes beyond basic copywriting. The result? A framework I call Human-Centric Copywriting—where classical communication meets modern marketing strategy.

This methodology isn't about following formulas or chasing trends. It's about understanding what truly motivates people to take action. Through deep audience immersion and strategic application of rhetorical theory, I help brands speak to their audiences in ways that build trust, drive engagement, and create lasting connections.

The Human-Centric Framework

My approach centers on five key principles:

  1. Know Your People: Demographics tell you what someone looks like. I uncover what keeps them up at night, what gets them excited, and what drives their choices.

  2. Speak Their Language: Logic convinces, emotion moves, and credibility seals the deal. Proven principles that guide how I shape messages that connect and convert.

  3. Write for Humans: Today's audiences can spot fake authenticity from miles away. For a business to be successful, every word needs to serve your audience's needs first and revenue goals second.

  4. Show Up Where It Counts: The best message means nothing if no one sees it. A deep understanding of content algorithms and smart marketing tactics ensures that your content finds its audience.

  5. Stay True: Building trust takes consistency. Your voice needs to stay authentic across every touchpoint, turning skeptics into believers and believers into buyers.

My specialty is transforming complex ideas into crystal-clear messages that resonate. Give me your most challenging concepts, and I'll help you find the exact words that capture attention and drive action, no matter how complex your offering.
