A Business Guide That Balances Expertise with Accessibility

The initial draft’s overly formal tone suggests a need to proactively integrate client storytelling before drafting to align style expectations earlier.

From Vague to Vibes—Tripled Sales with Niche Magic!
The team’s ability to pivot from generic "young reader" targeting to nailing the dark academia aesthetic.

Proactively researching genre-specific trends or requesting mood boards upfront could prevent a generic first draft.
