Early in my marketing career (circa 2012), I became fascinated by the intersection of storytelling, sales, and human psychology. This quickly turned into a full-time copywriting career and, eventually, a business.
Six years in, I found myself craving something softer, quieter, simpler… and just different from the marketing status quo.
→ More stories that sell with sincerity; fewer high-pressure sales pages trying to “stand out and sell” at any cost.
→ More website copy that feels like stepping into your local bookshop (or apothecary or cafe); fewer flashing countdown timers.
So, with a vision to write more approachable web copy, I built Erika Fitzgerald Consulting to help creative founders (and the companies who support them) sell with ease and sincerity.

I grew up in a small town of around 3K people and attended university just 30 minutes away. After graduating, I started my career in the same place—as a marketer, project manager, and eventually, an in-house copywriter.
Fascinated by the world of online business (and the location freedom it granted people), I started freelance copywriting. Then, one day, a nutrition coach popped into my inbox, asking if I could write copy for her website.
“Sure, why not?” I thought. And that’s how I become obsessed with the strategy behind every website word. My side hustle quickly turned into a full-time copywriting business that granted me freedom to travel abroad for a year…
...writing website copy for clients around the world while becoming the #1 Google search result for “website copywriter” and doubling my revenue YoY.
I’ve since set up shop in Oregon and refined Erika Fitzgerald Consulting to serve adventurous entrepreneurs and creatives at all stages of business.
From lunchtime freelancer to—
Loves: sleeping on the job, enforcing walk breaks, and stealing my office chair when I get up to reheat my coffee (again).
English degree in hand, I land my first job in marketing, discover copywriting as a career, and start devouring books on the matter.
I trade agency life for my first "official" role as an in-house copywriter, which grants me enough work-life balance to complete my 200-hour YTT.
An agency recruiter slides into my inbox with a dream opportunity managing creative projects for a Fortune 500 consumer electronics company.
Seeking adventure, I launch Erika Fitzgerald Consulting full-time and leave for a year abroad with my (now) husband.
Oof, 2020 amirite? I spend lockdown doing lots of yoga and completing Copyhackers trainings.
Back to business full-time, I rebrand Erika Fitzgerald Consulting to serve more creatives and small businesses... all while planning a wedding!
We buy a house, get a dog, and I accept a temp role as lead copywriter for a global website rebrand.
I’m on a mission to help creatives sell with confidence, without coercive sales tactics.

Without hesitation, I brought Erika on to help with the website copy for my new sub-brand. With speed and precision, she honed in on what was most important to my customers, and merged their voice with my brand story in the most effortless, page-turning way.
“As soon as I found Erika, I knew she was the copywriter to hire.”
– Hollis Rendleman, interior designer
After months of trying to write my own website copy, I reached out to Erika. I thought it would be a great jumpstart to finesse my ideas, but it was so much more. Erika made my website sound legit. To prove it, I booked three big-ticket clients and sold out a workshop within days.
“I was in tears *the good kind* reading the Website copy erika wrote.”
