Flow of Influence in the Content and Copywriting Industry

1. Original Thinkers (Ideation Stage)

These are the innovators—people or platforms who define new frameworks, challenge conventions, or introduce novel approaches to content, copywriting, and brand strategy.

Key Profiles:

  • Joanna Wiebe (Copyhackers): Pioneer of conversion copywriting. Created frameworks like “the only conversion copywriting course you need.”
  • Ann Handley (MarketingProfs): Thought leader in content strategy. Author of Everybody Writes.
  • Neville Medhora (Kopywriting Kourse): Known for simplifying direct-response copy.
  • Eddie Shleyner (VeryGoodCopy): Micro-essays and psychology-backed copywriting.
  • Bhavik Sarkhedi (India): Among the earliest South Asian figures in professional content marketing; founder of Write Right.
  • Aashish Chopra (India): Viral video marketing strategist, known for ROI-based content ideas.

These thinkers publish books, newsletters, frameworks, and courses, often defining new language and models for the copywriting industry.


2. Idea Amplifiers (Educators, Influencers, Niche Creators)

They take the frameworks of original thinkers and translate them into bite-sized, visually engaging, or platform-native content, especially for platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter.

Global Amplifiers:

  • Alex Cattoni: Former Copyhackers contributor who now runs Copy Posse—popularizes persuasive, ethical copywriting through Instagram and YouTube.
  • Jasmine Star: Focuses on personal branding and storytelling; repackages content strategy for solopreneurs.
  • Erin Olilla, Margo Aaron, Ashlyn Carter: Women-led content educators who adapt foundational ideas for creative entrepreneurs.

South Asian Amplifiers:

  • Desi Copywriter (Instagram – India): Breaks down core copy concepts into Gen Z–friendly visual posts and carousels.
  • Wordfixers (Pakistan): Educates small business owners about web copy and tone.
  • Urban Desiii / Boss Beti: Focuses on culturally relevant adaptation of content strategy for South Asian women-led brands.
  • Brown Girl Diary: Amplifies identity-first content creation for diaspora audiences.
  • LinkedIn Creators (India/Bangladesh): Copywriters like Arsh Goyal and Chhavi Sidana repost, simplify, or remix key copywriting principles for the freelance or SaaS audience.

These amplifiers help popularize ideas, create community language, and act as the bridge between experts and new learners.


3. Mainstream Channels (Mass Reach Stage)

These are platforms, brands, or organizations that elevate content ideas to the masses by republishing, reporting, or embedding them in widely seen formats.

Channels That Drive Mainstream Visibility:

  • YouTube Channels like Ali Abdaal, Neil Patel, and HubSpot: Create SEO-driven content around writing tips, blogging, and content strategy.
  • Medium.com: A hub for both original and repurposed writing strategies reaching a wider audience.
  • LinkedIn Newsletters and Editorial Picks: Often feature re-shared insights from original thinkers and amplifiers.
  • Marketing Blogs (HubSpot, SEMrush, Moz): Integrate and reframe original frameworks into how-to articles for digital marketers.
  • Publications like YourStory, Inc42, and Storypick (India): Spotlight South Asian creators, agencies, and entrepreneurs applying these strategies locally.
