Gary Vee is in.
Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee) is recognized as one of the best marketers in the world.
Here’s what he had to say about winning in marketing in 2023:
“How do you make Nike matter to every single person? How do you make Apple, BMW, Prada? How do you make it actually matter? The way you make it matter is by storytelling. The way you make it matter is that story has to hit you.”
I saw a video of him sharing that take yesterday morning.
Guess what happens to be Chapter 1: Lesson 1 of my upcoming course? 👇
Seems like Gary Vee is on board. Hbu?

The desire to belong:
An underused emotion in copywriting:
The desire to belong.
People buy specific brands like Rolex and Louis Vuitton to belong to a group.
An elite group.
The need to belong is one of the strongest emotions.
Not enough copywriters use it.

Okay, so we know that the “desire to belong” matters. Let’s look at 3 examples of companies doing it right:
(psst… notice how these examples are in extremely saturated and competitive categories. But they find a way to stand out. That’s not a coincidence.)
TOMS Shoes:
“One for One.”
For every pair of shoes purchased from TOMS, they promise to donate a pair to a child in need.
When you buy a pair of shoes from TOMS, you feel like you belong to a movement of positive change in the world.
Chubbies:
“Ever since our first day… we’ve been about one thing and one thing only - the Weekend.”
They’re not just selling shorts.
They’re selling the idea of a weekend lifestyle.
Chubbies customers feel like they belong to the “weekend warriors” club.
Death Wish Coffee:
“Anyone without a death wish is already dead.”
Aka… you’re either with us or against us.
You can either handle the “world’s strongest coffee” or you can’t.
You don’t buy this brand just for the kickass coffee.
You buy it to feel like you’re one of those badasses who can actually handle it.
💡 Bottom line: Foster a sense of belonging to build a passionate customer-base. Your copy plays a huge role in that.
That’s all for this week. Thanks for reading.
