Colin Y.J. Chung

Co-Founder | Copywriter | Operations

Hello, I'm Colin.Professionally, I am...

  • "Head of Copy Operations" at Tried and True Media, a FB/YT ad agency, where I build SOPs, training, and manage a team of copywriters.

  • The editor of Battlefield Briefs, a newsletter for Veteran Service Organizations, helping veterans avoid legal traps and get disability benefits.

  • Co-founder of Plural Healthcare, an IOP mental health facility in St. Louis. We help people get back on their feet with advanced group therapy.

Based in the suburbs of Vancouver B.C., I'm a father of three monsters, I speak pop culture fluently, and sneak in moments whenever I can to write fiction.

Hello! Thanks for clicking the big blue button in that email. It tells me you're an actual human being and not a bot, AI, or whatever.I'm so glad to see you here. But I gotta be 100% transparent with you. I can’t promise you much with my "random updates" (which I'm calling "C-Notes", because C stands for Colin, d'uh).You may get random monthly updates, lengthy essays (or ramblings), or nothing at all for stretches of time so long, you’ll wonder if I’ve met an untimely death.I have no grand manifesto, no agenda, no overarching “value prop” here. I did that with my last newsletter, Osmosis (2021-2024) and it burnt me out.So no weekly rhythm (just because “List Building 101” says so), no last minute pressure to “put content out”, no thank you. Just no.Here’s what I will promise you though…If you get an email from me, it’s because I wrote something I genuinely, authentically, felt worth sharing. It could be thoughts on a book I’m reading, rabbit-hole research I burrowed into, or a single distillation of experience from my 16+ years as a marketer, copywriter, and cofounder.You’re free to opt-out anytime. In fact, I encourage you to at the top of every email I send you.And since I've got you here, let me show you where the updates are.Thank you for being here again.
