Creating customer-centred content with Mat Patterson

This week, Rachel and Lynne are chatting with freelance writer Mat Patterson (morehumancontent.com), who argues small and medium businesses and freelancers should lean into being personal, flexible and customer-close rather than copying big-company systems and jargon.

Mat shares his path from web design to customer support to writing, explaining how support work builds communication skills through fast feedback. His work includes newsletters, podcasts and articles for customer-centric SaaS and customer experience companies, focused on clearer, more engaging messaging.

We also chat about:

• Customer marketing via happy customers
• Why good service requires leadership giving staff authority
• How generative AI will increase the value of unique human perspective amid generic content
