The bio, ready to lift
Racheal Blackmore is a certified interrogator turned messaging strategist, creator of the Connect-First Method, and founder of The Messaging Lab.
Racheal Blackmore is a messaging strategist and the founder of The Messaging Lab. Before copywriting, she was the youngest certified Wicklander-Zulawski interrogator at an 800-location retailer, and the only woman in the role. That's where she learned the rule her method is built on: recognition comes first, or no one opens up. Fourteen years later, she teaches the Connect-First Method, writes the weekly letter On Connection, and is at work on her first book, SEEN.
Racheal Blackmore is a messaging strategist, creative director, and the founder of The Messaging Lab. Over 14 years of client work, she traced one pattern that holds across every business she's touched: people buy the moment they catch their own story inside your words. That idea became the Connect-First Method, the three-story framework her whole company is built on.
Her lens on it is unusual. Before copywriting, Racheal was the youngest certified Wicklander-Zulawski interrogator at an 800-location retailer, and the only woman in the role, where she learned that recognition has to come first or no one opens up. A trained journalist and award-winning copywriter, she now teaches the psychology behind why most marketing advice misses, and what connects instead.
She writes On Connection, a weekly letter, and is at work on her first book, SEEN. Outside the work, Racheal is a mom of four and a pre-law student at Michigan State.
