About this event

Content and copywriting have different purposes. Content is the art of selling people on an idea, brand, or ideology. It is direct and focused on a sales-generating end-game (think brand building). It’s essential to your long-game strategy.

Copywriting is content, but content isn't necessarily copywriting.

Copywriting is informative and creative and meant to be shared. It’s clever, quick, and designed to inspire action (think sales copy). It’s vital to drive people to your business. Discover strategies for content and copy creation, learn to craft communications that get read, and leave with an understanding of how professional-level writing can build your brand and increase your revenue.
