Her Interview
Ten minutes with Maddy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to determination and a commitment to self-improvement. I didn't have a traditional path into copywriting or anyone handing me a roadmap, so I learned to trust the process of taking the next right opportunity, even when it wasn't a perfect fit. Every role taught me something, and that willingness to keep growing is what got me here.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to fake it till you make it. When you don't have a straight path into your field, confidence is something you have to practice before it feels real. I'm still working on it myself, but giving yourself permission to belong in the room, even when imposter syndrome says otherwise, is half the battle. The competence catches up.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Network genuinely and often. I've always related to the idea that people need other people. You never know where your next opportunity is coming from, and in this industry it's rarely a job board. The connections that have mattered most to me weren't formal or strategic, they were just people I met along the way who ended up opening doors I didn't even know existed. That's also why I try to show up for other women and fellow alumni who are finding their way in. I know how hard it is without a clear path, and if I can be even a small part of someone else's, I want to be.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Digital marketing never stops moving. The platforms, the algorithms, the way people consume content, what worked two years ago doesn't necessarily work today. That constant evolution is both the challenge and the thing that keeps the work interesting. AI feels like a particularly exciting moment within that. I don't think it's going to replace copywriters, but I do think people who know how to use it will be chosen over those who don't. For me it's less about keeping up and more about getting better. It makes me faster, sharper, and more valuable, and I'm genuinely excited to be in the field at a moment when I can help shape how it gets used, not just adapt after the fact.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Authenticity, in work and in life. Professionally that means making things I'm genuinely proud of, copy that sounds human and solves a real problem rather than just filling space. Personally it means being intentional about how I spend my time, with my family, my dogs, my own health and wellbeing. I want the way I work and the way I live to reflect what matters to me.
