Gianluca Russo — Copywriter

Copy built on
evidence.

I started OnTarget Copywriting in Francavilla Fontana in 2019 after several years writing copy for technology companies and digital agencies in Milan. What I kept observing was the same fundamental mistake: copy written about the product from the seller’s perspective, in the seller’s language, to answer questions the seller thought were important.

Performance copywriting starts somewhere different. It starts with the reader: what they currently believe, what they need to believe to take action, and in what order those beliefs have to be established. The copy that results from this approach converts at a measurably higher rate. Not because it is more persuasive in some abstract sense. Because it is specific to the actual reader making the actual decision.

Six disciplines, one methodology. Website copy, UX writing, B2B sales, SaaS/tech, advertising, case studies. All starting from the reader. All measured against outcomes. Fixed quotes, digital delivery from Puglia.

One revision round covers changes to copy that does not accurately reflect the brief. Style preference changes and scope additions are separate.
