Episode summary: In this episode of Insights Unlocked, host Nathan Isaacs chats with Chris Silvestri, founder of Conversion Alchemy, about what really makes copy convert. And spoiler alert, it’s not about being clever with words. Chris unpacks the importance of research-driven messaging, sharing his journey from software engineering and UX to conversion copywriting. He reveals why 70% of his work is dedicated to research and how pattern recognition, user testing, and cross-team interviews uncover the insights needed to build impactful, customer-first messaging.
