##Testimonials -

** Amy Posner 2025 

"I’ve trusted Paul as my direct response copywriter for dozens of projects over the years. Not only is his copy flawless, he’s a deep strategic thinker. I tell him what outcomes I’m after and he brings ideas to the table that I never would have thought of. I’ve hired a lot of freelancers in the last ten years. Not one compares to what I get from Paul. 

For my money? Paul is the brain you want on your project. Hands-down. 

Not only are his deliverables best in class, he manages projects brilliantly. He never misses a deadline – and always goes the extra mile. And, he’s a genuinely nice guy and easy to work with. In my experience it’s pretty rare to find someone a seasoned professional of Paul’s caliber. If you want someone you can trust, who will treat your business like it’s their own? 

I've worked closely with Paul over several years, and I've referred him to my clients as well. Paul is an excellent direct response copywriter, and that’s not an easy skill to find these days. What makes him my go-to however is his strategic brain. He thinks of everything and it’s such a relief to have someone you can trust to not only create amazing deliverables, but someone who genuinely cares about your business and treats it like it’s his own. 

Grab him if you can! ""

"My brother was Jim Rutz. If you haven't heard of him, you’ve definitely read his copy. He was one of the highest paid and most successful copywriters who ever lived and I was his copy editor. A while back I meet this kid, Paul Melrose, through Brian Kurtz. We get talking and he offers to write up my burgeoning website, and I, in turn, offer to copy edit some of his work as I did for my brother. After the call, I go to his web site to check out his copy. Boom! … Jim Rutz incarnate, sans the corny Rutz jokes! If you want the brilliance and vibrancy of Jim Rutz in your copy, you must engage Paul Melrose. —Ginger Rutz—Copy Sister"

"''Working with Paul was like getting a blood transfusion for our organisation. He was able to quickly work out what we needed, before injecting the right words, ideas and stories, all in the right order, so that our copy is cohesive, snappy and we are telling the real story of our brand. 

Paul is enthusiastic, reliable and a pleasure to work with. Even when he is sending homesworks, you want to do them! It galvanised us to have better conversations as business leaders and to understand where our value lies."

** John Condon | Condon Consulting

"

We consulted with Paul on our client acquisition strategy as we were unsure how to position ourselves in our niche and market our experience and capability. 

Paul helped us focus on our present and future visions for our business. He was very methodical, thought-provoking and his supportive and challenging style were just what we needed. 

We would certainly recommend working with Paul if you are looking for a marketing 2.0 reboot; a fresh approach focused not just on your current requirements, but also on your mid and long-term goals. "
