I’m David Kingsbury, a UK-based direct response growth marketer and Chief Copywriter at Sweet Copy. I've worked in marketing and brand communications since 2002. First in the publications industry, then for a top player in the education sector. Now I write high-performance marketing funnels for a global client list. I've written hundreds of B2C marketing campaigns and dozens of B2B funnels that have driven biz growth, SERP results, customer engagement, and millions of dollars in sales in multiple verticals. My promo campaigns have made over $4 million for clients since 2023—primarily through digital funnels inc. sales pages, web content, PPC ads, and email marketing. Recently, I helped a team of start-up founders beat their revenue targets and successfully execute an eight-figure exit. My current focus is writing top-tier copy for ethical health, wellbeing, and lifestyle brands that improve people’s lives. If that’s you, I’d love to chat.
