Copywriting - people often get this confused with the people who grant copyrights! Copywriters don’t do that. We mean, some copywriters might. The world of copywriting is incredibly varied, but copyrights have little to do with copywriting.
Copywriting is actually an essential pillar of marketing.
What is copywriting, then?
Simply put, copywriting is the art of crafting words and sentences designed to influence and persuade your target audience.
Copywriting is often overlooked as a crucial component of a successful business strategy. It’s probably why you see many websites that don’t make a lot of sense or ramble on for ages!
Truth is, exceptional copywriting is essential for creating a strong brand identity, building relationships with your target audience, and ultimately driving sales.
Whether creating a blog post, an email campaign, or a social media ad, copywriting is the driving force behind making your message resonate with your audience. It inspires your audience to take action!
"Why should you work with a copywriter and not just use a free tool like Chat GBT?"
Well, as exciting and efficient as these new AI tools look, they are miles off the quality of work a professional copywriter can produce. Effective copywriting needs flare, style and human creativity to deliver engagement within your audience.
You don’t want to be churning out the same nonsense as everyone else. That’s how you disappear in a crowd!
2023 copywriting trends suggest audiences seek more conversational copy, less jargon and easy-to-digest formats. Video content is also rising in popularity, so talented scriptwriting is necessary to harness this trend. Overall, the top priority for copy is authenticity. People want to see organic and relatable messaging from brands.

The ultimate goal of copywriting is to drive conversions, whether that’s through a sale, a sign-up, or some other actions. Brilliant copywriting helps you create a sense of urgency and inspire your audience to take action.
