BOLDFACE is the independent writing practice of Taylor Barnes—multi-hyphenate writer, copywriter, and storyteller.My focus for this practice is to help growth-stage luxury startups in tech, AI, and art build their enterprise legacies.Your business is more than a testament to your customer.It's a living artifact—a breathing creation you wish to preserve, sell, and grow with a vision that would make Bernard Arnault salivate.You don't want to just sell products, fundraise, or grow a brand—you want to leave a lasting impression marked for centuries.You're not playing small.You're here to win.And whatever it takes, win you shall.If reading that made your flesh erupt in goosebumps...You're in the right place.I’ve written a mosaic of copy for brands large and small with hearts of iron and souls of scale—from personal stories for venture capitalists, to full brand and marketing campaigns for ambitious startups, to user experiences for global superpowers like Nike, Meta, and Revolut.Today, I focus on crafting one of a kind narratives—voice, tone, language, story, and copy.Because words drive everything in the world of luxury, from first impression to last memory.What I can write for you:→ Brand Narrative Guides→ Voice, Tone & Messaging Systems→ Advertising Campaigns→ Landing Pages→ WebsitesI accept only 10 clients a year on a fractional basis—because, yes, I take my work (and you) very seriously.(Although, if you have fire in your blood, an irresistible product, and a vision I can't say no to... we might be able to work out a custom agreement)If this paints a portrait in your mind worth of the Louvre...Let’s grab a virtual coffee.Or, peruse my public thinking on LinkedIn and my Substacks here and here.I’ll see you on the other side,Taylor
