What We Do

Research-driven copy
for brands that give a damn

Every project starts with real conversations with your customers. Not AI personas. Not assumptions. The actual words from people who bought from you and why.

Sales Pages & VSLs

Long-form copy built on real customer research. Every claim grounded in what your buyers actually say, not what we assume they want to hear.

Email Sequences

Nurture and launch sequences that sell without burning the list. Your subscribers stay because every email earns the next open.

Launch Copy

Full launch packages from pre-launch warmup through cart close. Strategy, sequencing, and the copy that connects every touchpoint.

Customer Research

We interview your real buyers and synthesize their language, objections, and desires into a research brief that powers every word we write.

Messaging Strategy

Brand positioning, voice development, and messaging frameworks. The strategic foundation before a single word of copy gets written.

How It Works

The method behind
the results

01

Research

We interview your actual customers. Not surveys. Real conversations where we map the language, objections, and emotional drivers that make them buy.

02

Strategy

Those insights become a messaging brief: the positioning, proof points, and narrative structure that powers every word of copy.

03

Write

Copy that sounds like your customers talking to themselves. Direct response that converts because every claim is grounded in real human language.

04

Optimize

We track what performs, learn from the data, and refine. Every revision makes the copy sharper and the results stronger.

About

Built by a copywriter
who actually talks
to your customers

I'm Zak Columber. I started Resonate because I was tired of seeing purpose-driven brands get sold the same predatory playbook: fake scarcity, manufactured urgency, and copy that treats customers like marks instead of humans.

There's a better way. It starts with real customer research. I interview the people who already bought from you, map their language and motivations, and use that raw material to write copy that converts because it tells the truth.

Every project I take on gets this treatment. It's slower. It's more work. And it's why the copy consistently outperforms.

We hired Zak to rewrite our main sales page and saw a 2.66x increase in revenue. He's thorough, strategic, and actually listens. The research he does before writing is unlike anything I've experienced.
Ben Dziwulski Founder, WODprep
Zak doesn't just write great copy. He asks the right questions, challenges our assumptions, and delivers work that consistently outperforms what we had before. He's become an essential part of our team.
Erin Weiss-Trainor Director of Marketing, Precision Nutrition
Working with Zak felt like having a strategist and a copywriter rolled into one. He understood our audience better than we did, and it showed in the results.
Jill Fanslau Head of Copy, Girls Gone Strong
Zak's customer research process is the real differentiator. By the time he starts writing, he knows exactly what language will resonate. The copy practically writes itself from the insights he uncovers.
Aga Nazaruk Marketing Director, Precision Nutrition
I've worked with dozens of copywriters over the years. Zak is one of the few who can write direct response copy that actually sounds human. No hype. No fake urgency. Just honest, effective copy.
