Abbey Woodcock and Justin Blackman – Codex Persona Workshop

Codex Academy is a live, small-group training for copywriters who want to unlock the path to MORE clients, BIGGER projects, and HIGHER copywriting fees. You’ll learn from two of the best brand voice writers in the industry and we’ll build out your first voice guide together. You’ll also discover how to create a new brand voice from scratch—so you can offer a new service, reduce editing time, and become an even more powerful asset in your niche.
“Behind price, voice is the #1 concern of clients when hiring a new copywriter”
– Kevin Rogers

Master Voice
Discover what “voice” actually means (it’s not some woo-woo concept that can’t be learned) and why most clients cite this as the biggest failure of their copywriters. Learning this means more repeat work.

Build Your Guide
We’ll show you how to document and create a new voice for any client—personal brand or corporate. Then we’ll build your guide together, which you can customize to fit any budget.

Sell It for a Fast ROI
Not only will you walk out with a finished voice guide, but we’ll also teach you how to pitch, package, and sell it to both new and existing clients. You’ll have an add-on service for all your new projects.
Meet Your Instructors
Codex Academy is led by Justin Blackman, who has written for more than 429 entrepreneurs, and created voice guides for Amy Porterfield, Stu McLaren, Danny Iny, Melyssa Griffin, Bobby Klinck, Todd Herman, tech companies, eComms, start-ups, and loads of others. You’ll also receive trainings from Abbey Woodcock, who worked with industry experts such as Ramit Sethi, Jeff Walker, Mastin Kipp, and even Frank Oz (the voice of Ms. Piggy and Yoda).
Get Paid to Learn Your Clients’ Voice
