Copywriting is the process of writing the text for all marketing and promotional materials. This text is known as “copy.” Copy is everywhere — it’s part of a $2.3 trillion industry worldwide. Unlike news or editorial writing, copywriting is all about getting the reader to take action. That action might be to purchase, opt in, or engage with a product, service, or company. A copywriter ensures anything they create remains consistent with their company’s message, tone, and voice and that it addresses their audience in a clear and approachable way. Design, content marketing, and SEO are all parts of a complete digital marketing plan, but copywriting is the glue that ties it all together. Copy gives your design meaning and lays the foundation for your content marketing and SEO. Writing better copy enables you to convert more readers into customers.
