With Kira Hug & Rob Marsh of TCC
“It wasn’t just a passion project where we were only doing a podcast and that was it. We just didn’t know what else it was going to become.”
— Rob Marsh
And to think it all started with a podcast…
Kira Hug & Rob Marsh are co-founders of The Copywriter Club (TCC), which offers memberships, courses, masterminds for copywriters looking to uplevel their skills and build a sustainable and profitable freelance business.
They met at a mastermind (not Tinder, as rumor would have it) and instantly clicked. When Rob wanted to start a podcast, Kira was a natural choice for co-host (or the second choice, I guess.)
So, The Copywriter Club podcast was born… but Kira and Rob didn’t stop there.
“We didn’t have a map or a blueprint of how we were going to build everything out and what type of products,” Kira says. “I think we both were open and knew that it would go to maybe courses. But I don’t think we knew a membership was going to come out of it, or mastermind groups were going to come out of it.”
Now, Rob and Kira split the responsibilities of running TTC as dual CEOs with a 50/50% partnership… while also running their own solo copywriting brands!
In this episode, we find out how the two decide which brand a new idea belongs under, how they deal with community members that aren’t a good fit, and which of them is the true diva!
Hit play and find a new way to work! You’ll learn:
∙ What goes into taking a new business idea from conception to fruition
