Introducing Bad Cookie, the inappropriate brand I built for Bossy. Copy College, and an example of what happens when I do whatever the f*ck I want when it comes to brand voices and copy.

In this episode, I cover:
- How I came up with the Bad Cookie concept
- The creative exercises that developed the voice
- Brainstorming word + phrase banks
- Bad Cookie's fun About Us page (+ dating profile!)

- Using content themes + caption formulas
