“Great copy is the lifeblood of any financial publishing business and finding great copywriters who can produce million-dollar sales campaigns is one of my most important jobs. That’s why I’ve given Nick and Glenn a very simple mission: Go find me some more copywriters! After many chats about the best way to do this, together, we’ve created the first true Financial Copy U. If you want to be successful in this space, joining us at Marketwise is perhaps your best chance of achieving that. And investing your time in the Financial Copy U programme is the best way to get your foot in the door here at Marketwise.”
